CREATIVE EXCHANGE TIME – The Yukon Fresh A.i.R. Exchange 2021 is a ‘10-day/night event that brings artists in residence from all over the Yukon together to create, collaborate, connect, workshop new works and share knowledge at inspiring locations in Yukon,’ says producer Kim Beggs. Seen here last Sunday, Sharon Shorty, aka Gramma Susie, was booked for comedy and ended up beading and exploring other media. ‘While previously known as the Keno City Music, Art and Literature Workshop which took place for four years, Yukon Fresh A.i.R. Exchange will take place at a different unique location each year,’ says Beggs. Fourteen artists are sharing ideas.
