PRAIRIE WEBINAR

  • Online, Registration via Eventbrite (map)

As part of the Prairie Webinar Series, CARFAC Alberta, CARFAC Saskatchewan and CARFAC Manitoba are pleased to present:

EVALUATING THE ETHICS OF OPPORTUNITIES

with Paddy Lamb & Peatr Thomas

The Prairie Webinar Series is proud to prioritize the expertise of artists working in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, promoting discussion with our provincial neighbours on various topics while sharing investment in prairie perspectives. The formula is simple: look forward to two 25-minute presentations from two artists speaking to their practice and their experience with a given discussion topic, followed by a 30-minute Q&A period.

PEATR THOMAS is a self-taught mural artist of Ininew and Anishinaabe heritage from Pimicikamak. Raised on reserve, he transitioned to city life at 14 in 2001, where he discovered his voice through Winnipeg’s street art scene. Over the past decade, Peatr has woven cultural teachings into his work and facilitated workshops with youth across Turtle Island to create murals and canvas art.

PADDY LAMB is an established professional artist based in Edmonton.  During a sustained career he has found a wide variety of opportunities to exhibit his work, including both commercial and public galleries. He has also attended residencies internationally and across Canada.  Paddy has been a strong advocate working hard to improve artist's rights through organizations like CARFAC, where he served as National President from 2019 to 2023
