À propos
ART TALK/ART WALK is a series of monthly, informal, moderated 45-minute Art Talks, followed by a guided Art Walk to a selection of galleries, artist-run centres, and artist studios open late for First Fridays in the Exchange.
Join host Jasmine Tara for an evening with singer-songwriter Les Gillis, who has spent 25+ years blending storytelling and song across Canada and the U.S.
For the past decade, Gillis has chosen to perform in shelters, bringing his music to people experiencing homelessness and shining a light on housing insecurity.
Recently returned from an eastern tour from Winnipeg to Cape Breton Island, he shares reflections on how song becomes a form of solidarity, offering comfort while drawing attention to urgent social issues. (You can read the Winnipeg Sun article linked below!).
This conversation will explore music as a gathering space, a source of care, and a call to action.
Free, Everyone Welcome!
