The tour group foyer with the water fountain glass ceiling was wonderfully transformed into a dance floor on Thursday, March 25 as part of a whirlwind night of culture at the National Gallery of Canada (NGC).

Guerilla had come together with the NGC for the co-hosted event to launch Guerilla #23 and bring the magazine contents to life. The vibe in the venue was just right, as attendees enjoyed a range of performances and hands-on cultural activities.

Before the headlining Hammerheads got the dance floor busy with two signature sets of groovy 70s funk, the charming Megan Jerome treated the crowd to a vocals/Wurlizter/accordion solo performance and Dr. Lee created an enthused circle around himself in an African drumming workshop.

Ongoing tours of the NGC’s current Nicolas Baier exhibition and a popular silk-screening workshop were offered between 7 and 9 p.m., while photographer Martin Lipman presented a slide show of his images of Governor General’s Award-winning artists.

Big thanks go all guests, volunteers, organizers and to Matthew Miller for contributing the event photos posted here.
