Reminder: This Thursday’s Artist Talk Will Take Place at Northern College

Porcupine Art Member, Shafik Al-Hamdani will be presenting this week’s Thursday evening workshop, which is an Artists’s talk. The talk will be taking place at Northern College of Applied Arts and Technology, located on Highway 101 East in Porcupine (across the highway from the Porcupine Mall). This is about a 10 to 15-minute drive from downtown Timmins.

If you are travelling by bus, the number 16 leaves the terminal on Spruce St. South at 6:30pm and arrives at the College around 15 to 20 minutes later. To get back into town, you will be taking route 901, which leaves the College campus around 10 to the hour and takes about 40 minutes to arrive in town (e.g. leave at 8:50pm to be in Timmins for 9:30pm).

Shafik’s talk will start around 7:00pm and be about an hour and a half to two hours long with discussion. He has booked room 104 A, which is the original part of the building – go in through the main doors, past the book store and library, and the room will  be in that area.
