Program Description

Event Details

In collaboration with the Al & Eurithe Purdy A-frame Association, the writer and visual artist Paul Elter will be on-site at various Library and Museum locations making REAL tintype images. All you need to bring is a story (300 words+ -) it could be a personal recollection, a truth, a fictional combination of the two or perhaps a little known history of the location we are currently in, or maybe a story about Al Purdy. All stories and images will be assembled into a book. Everyone who participates will receive a copy of their portrait.
