Lakeshore Arts Connection: Shirley worked with Lakeshore Arts in Winter/Spring 2016 to facilitate our weekly Art Drop-in Program. Working with youth who dropped by our Smith Zone Gallery, she helped them create various arts projects each week, while also planning and executing an end of session project, a mural in our gallery on the TD Play Community Wall.
