Iconography + Identity with Aoife McKirgan

Join us at the Campbell River Art Gallery July 4, 2026, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. for an afternoon full of personal interests, admiration and identity exploration!

During this workshop we will look at all we hold sacred whether it be pop-culture, environments, or personal experiences to create a collage and drawing based portrait on paper. These portraits will be full of symbolism and the use of iconography to make a representation of who we are when we break down our identities to simple imagery rather than realism. Bring your enthusiasm for all that interests you!
