Airbrush tattoos were offered by Parks Canada during the 2014 edition of Art Souterrain, throughout Nuit Blanche.

This was part of a smaller Parks Canada initiative, which was a tattoo design contest. Artists were invited to create a design that would become the next airbrush tattoo offered by Parks Canada.

Jennifer decided to get an airbrush tattoo and choose to get the “Big Bad Wolf.” What do you think?

A section of the “Our Veil” exhibition.

Piché, teamed up to present the exhibition titled, “Our Veil,” as part of Nuit Blanche’s Art Souterrain.

The exhibition showcased portraits of a number of different women wearing veils and featured an accompanying description of the women portrayed.
