IMAGINING THE CITY 2015 | 2016
The Walker Cultural Leader Series is broadening its reach in 2015-16. During this, the inaugural year in our new spectacular building, we are partnering with community arts groups as well as Rodman Hall to present a roster of performances, plays, exhibitions, talks and symposia. With more than forty events scheduled over two semesters, Brock University’s Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts (MIWSFPA) prides itself in supporting exceptional student and professional talent.
The theme of “Imagining the City” is intended to examine how the arts are a vehicle for cultural vitality — especially at this transitional moment in the revival of the downtown. Please join us.
This educational program is generously funded byMarilyn I. Walker, and events are free to the public.
