Following a multi-channel workshop offered by northern Ontario multimedia artist Katie Huckson, eleven regional artists created informed works exploring the medium of projection and installation.
By making this project accessible to northern artists, the gallery becomes a kiln where multimedia works burn and fuse into an evening of silver screen delight.
