The Keno Community Club is pleased to announce this 12 day artist exchange is back.
Keno Workshop is a very special and unique artist exchange for the eleven confirmed artists to gather, create, collaborate, connect, cook, and learn from each other. Three invited Na-Cho Nyäk Dun Elders will also be Present to share, connect with and be connected to. The historic silver mining town of Keno City is one of Yukon’s most inspiring locations for creating. The Keno Workshop was last held in Keno in 2019 before it became mobile as YFAiRE in 2021 in Tagish and then 2022 in Fort Selkirk.
Creating on your own and wanting some company? Come up! Camp out or bring your RV and be self sufficient - work on your own creations. Be inspired by other artists creating alongside you in the open air and perhaps you will inspire others too. If you are interested in booking some one-on-one mentorship sessions with this year's artists, please indicate this in the form below.
