Sketching "A Lake Story"

  SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2025 | 11:00AM-1:30PM

“A Lake Story” is a special Waterfront art performance, created by artist Melissa McGill, consisting of a slow procession of approximately 120 canoes moving in unison across the lake, carrying large, wind-activated colour field paintings. The procession will be visible from many points along the shoreline.

It will be a sight to see, and you are cordially invited to capture this in your sketch!

Address: Sugar Beach, 11 Dockside Drive, by the pink umbrellas!

When: Sunday Sep 28, 2025 11am-1:30pm

Hosts: Vivian (@vfsoetikno) and Isabel (@modellatura_art)

11 AM: hosts will be by the pink umbrellas for 10 minutes. Hopefully, this place will be clear of crowds. Optionally come by and say hi before dispersing to sketch.
1:30 PM: We will meet at the same spot for the throwdown and group photo.

Notes:
It is expected that the place will be crowded with people who will view the procession. Also dress according to weather, this event will take place, rain or shine!
