Thursday Night Live at the MacKenzie!

Thursday, March 5, 2009, starting at 7:30 p.m. ...This is a free program!

The MacKenzie Art Gallery is excited to work together with community members and community partners to put on an exciting night of performance and music: the MacKenzie Art Gallery’s Projections Thursday Night Live Program is put on in partnership with the Saskatchewan Cultural Exchange Society, the Saskatchewan Filmpool Co-operative and the Interactive Media and Performance Labs in the Fine Arts Department at the University of Regina. This Thursday Night Live! will feature live performances by local bands Rah Rah and Library Voices, as well as Saskatoon band We Were Lovers, an interactive presentation by participants from the IMP Labs, free candy from Regina’s own Dessart and a cash bar… and there’s more!

As an exciting addition to this month’s Thursday Night Live! program, filmmaker Berny Hi from the Saskatchewan Filmpool Co-operative will be on site (with a collection of cameras) to lead visitors in a fun photo shoot workshop using various techniques and styles. Visitors can come and conduct their own photo shoots of themselves and their friends with various types of cameras – for free – while enjoying the music of a few of their favourite local bands. Photos will be available online soon after the event.

Visitors are encouraged to come out with their favorite outfits and accessories and be ready to jump into the Filmpool’s Projections photo studio! Thursday Night Live! will also feature a limited-edition series of Rah Rah, Library Voices and MacKenzie pins!
