Art is in the air this weekend in Nanaimo.
To mark Nanaimo’s 25th annual artwalk, Midcoast Morning spoke with the artists behind some pieces you might see around town.
David Martinello’s new sculpture Compelling Agency was recently installed in the old city quarter as part of the city’s temporary public art program, and Amy Pye explains why having her banner design chosen to mark 150 years of the city of Nanaimo was a homecoming of sorts.
The Code Youth Collective at the Nanaimo Art Gallery previews their Artwalk exhibition, and offer some tips on how to navigate the event.
