Readings From The Port Dalhousie Stories by Dennis Tourbin (1949-1998)

Join us for another in the Red Garnet’s popular series of Friday after-work arts events.

Bonus: The program will include a screening of archival video of the last band Dennis drummed for.

This coming September Public Energy is mounting a retrospective of the performances of Dennis Tourbin, an artist who lived and worked in Peterborough in the 1970s and early 1980s and whose influence can felt to this day among visual, literary and performing artists. This event will be held in conjunction with Artspace and the Art Gallery of Peterborough, who are both celebrating 40th anniversaries.
