On April 27, 2015 Lakeshore Arts welcomed a talented printmaker and OCAD grad to be our new Program Manager. Kim Dayman, is a local artist who straddles the New Toronto, Mimico border and lays claim to both villages. In her past life, she could be found in the basement of the Yorkdale Shopping Centre doing magical and wonderful things at ArtStarts. We are thrilled that Kim is bringing her magic, creativity and enthusiasm to Lakeshore Arts. Please drop in and say hello, I know she’s eager to introduce herself to everyone.
Chawntay Barrett (she/her) is an emerging artist and facilitator based in the Greater Toronto Area. Community is an important aspect in Chawntay’s creative practice, as she is a recent alumni of the ArtworksTO Next Stream program and the Remix Project. Chawntay works primarily with oil and acrylic paint on canvas as well as with digital media for illustrations and design. As a woman of afro-Caribbean descent, Caribbean culture is a vital underlying theme in many of her artworks; the majority of her work explores the black experience in the modern era.
