Redefine Arts and Lanark County Interval House host first Art Workshop for memorial mosaic for victims and survivors of gender-based violence

ReDefine Arts and Lanark County Interval House are hosting their first in the Smiths Falls Countdown In-Person Workshop series tonight.

They are working to create an outdoor monument for Smiths Falls to honour victims and survivors of gender-based violence and to imagine, or count down to, a world without gender-based violence.

In Smiths Falls a mosaic is being created. It is the third in Lanark County. It will be a place to reflect on gender-based violence, remember those lost and survivors, and can serve as a gathering point for vigils and other ceremonies. It will be located next to town hall in the new Town Square.

There are two workshops at the Smiths Falls Arena, one this afternoon (Wednesday) from 4-6:30, then another on Friday from 3 until 5:30. Both will be different, and no art experience is necessary.
