High Park Volunteer Stewardship Program winter lecture series presents: "Artists Inspired by High Park" talk on Sunday, March 13, 2011 at 10:30 - 1:30.

Six artists - three writers (novelist, poet and climate change author) and 3 visual artists (art books, photographer and painter) reflect on how they have been inspired by High Park nature in their artistic endeavours, subject matter, and as a place to create. After all the artists present and talk about their work, there will be a short lunch break followed by a panel discussion.

Because of the number of speakers, this session will be longer than usual. Although refreshments will be provided, it is recommended that audience members bring their own lunch if they wish.
