Lou Sheppard, Dawn Chorus, Bow Valley (score) (2024), digital drawing, commissioned by Walter Phillips Gallery, Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity.
Join artist Lou Sheppard for a hands-on workshop on the development of graphic scores, where imagery is used in place of other forms of musical notation. Participants will be invited to learn about the artist’s approach to this form of score, particularly in relation to his commissioned work, Dawn Chorus, Evensong (Bow River Valley) presented by Walter Phillips Gallery in the Shaw Amphitheatre from August 9 – September 2, 2024. The workshop will then shift to time for participants to draw or make their own graphic scores using provided materials. No formal musical or artistic experience is required.
Walter Phillips Gallery would like to acknowledge the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts, Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Government of Canada, and Government of Alberta.
