Photostory: Ground Works festival
Imagination and creativity ignited over the city!
Jasleen MahindruFrom June 21 to July 1, the Works International Visual Arts Society unleashed a wave of art exhibits, installations, performances and interactive workshops over Edmonton. The organisation held Ground Works — The Works Art & Design Festival at various locations across downtown. With Sir Winston Churchill Square as the epicentre, its other satellite locations included City Hall, Don Wheaton YMCA, and the Stanley A. Milner Library.
Known to be North America’s largest and longest free annual outdoor festival of visual art and design, this year, they celebrated the festival’s 40th anniversary. Along with the exhibitions and workshops, it also supported various local artists and craftsmen — out of which, only a few could be included in this article — and gave them a platform to showcase their art and sell their pieces.
