Join us for a panel discussion with local artists who have successfully embraced social media to promote their art. Marnie Blair and Erin Boake are professional visual artists, and Lisa Spencer-Cook and Curtis LaBelle are professional performers, in Red Deer – all who are well-known thanks to their social media savvy.
