About
EKKT welcomes you to Interactive Art
The Society of Estonian Artists in Toronto (EKKT) invites you to create your own cultural story using art materials. Join in on a long rolling canvas to let your art speak about who you are. What colours, textures, photos, symbols, small found objects and beads, blend together to say something about your cultural heritage? Select any art materials
A long canvas roll is representative of the traditional Estonian (Baltic) “vöö” or folk belt that helps to identify national pride. The belt strengthens the back of the wearer and components of it can represent important elements of family history.
The long narrow roll of canvas will be available on tables set up near the main event floor. All art materials will be available close at hand with an EKKT member to assist when needed.
