FAAS 3 : L’art au pied carré

Foire d'art alternatif de Sudbury (Alternative Art Fair of Sudbury)

Forty artists will create on site in 64 square feet fenced in spaces. These enclosures will be installed at the Market Square as well as in other public spaces downtown Sudbury.

The artists will have the challenge of creating a new piece of art within three days in a confined space.

Will they be limited by this constraint or will the experience become a source of inspiration?

The public on the other hand will be free to roam!
