About Artists in Conversation
Welcome to the Artist in Conversation speaker series where renowned Canadian artists discuss their craft with series host Cameron Smillie. Each event is like a perfectly mixed cocktail. Two parts conversation, one part show and tell, one part question and answer and always splashed with a dash of the unexpected. Each speaker event includes two 45-minute sets. Each artist will bring their journey to life. And, everyone comes away with the true story behind the artist. Get ready for on-stage conversations interspersed with music surprises. Oh, and always a post-show meet and greet!
