<p style="margin:0px 0px 12px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica"><span style="">The Lake Country Art Gallery is looking for youth ages 13 to 18 years of age interested in participating in the ‘Keep it Real: Sidewalk Paint Project’, part of the ‘Keep it Real: LC Youth Festival’. </span></p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 12px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica"><span style="">On Saturday May 14th and Sunday May 15th we will take paint to the sidewalk in front of George Elliott Secondary School on Bottom Wood Lake Road in Lake Country. This is an opportunity for youth to work with a professional artist to create an artwork in a public space. Emerging and professional artists can provide the mentorship and guidance to our youth. By working together on the ‘Keep it Real: Sidewalk Paint Project’, youth and professional artists can create a cohesive message that is not only a work of art but a reflection of who we are and how we are doing as a community.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 12px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica"><span style="">If you would like to leave your mark on the sidewalk in front of GESS please leave your name and contact information with the Lake Country Art Gallery or email Wanda Lock (curator) at <a href="mailto:wandalock@shaw.ca">wandalock@shaw.ca</a>.</span></p>
