<p><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:TrebuchetMS;font-weight:700">Incognito: </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:TrebuchetMS;font-style:italic">using postcards to get teens talking </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:TrebuchetMS">is an exhibition about teens in Lake Country
talking about issues that they are experiencing here in the community, whether it’s mental,
physical, spiritual, or emotional. We are asking teens, ages 13-18, to anonymously create a
postcard that reflects any emotion or thought, funny or serious or anything in between about
their personal experiences in Lake Country. This is an opportunity for youth to be heard with-
out judgement or criticism and shed some light on how young people are feeling and hopeful-
ly start some conversations.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:TrebuchetMS">Postcards can be approximately 4x6’’ in size and can be in any medium (drawing, painting,
collage, etc.). Drop off boxes will be located at the Lake Country Art Gallery, Boys & Girls
Club Teen Lounge, LC Health Planning Society Office and the Lake Country Alliance Church.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:TrebuchetMS">Opening will be on Friday May 13th from 6-9pm with music, food and of course, post cards!
