ART | Flightpath Artist Lectures
What path do young artists and creatives take to become successful? In the Flightpath Artist Lectures, a new series presented by online creative resource Knock Twice, two artists will speak each month about their experiences working in the Toronto arts industry. Wildlife photographer Amanda McNaughton, a former intern with Canadian Geographic Magazine whose work now appears on the cover, will join textile artist Amanda McCavour, whose work has appeared in Elle Magazine and on the cover of Design Lines, to talk about the challenges and triumphs of being a creative professional. This lecture series is a free and inspiring way to get in touch with your local creative communities.
