Art Night: Tactile Sketchbook & the Written Word
2026-05-01 17:00 - 19:00 (America/Halifax) | CreativePEI Workspace, 119 Kent Street, Suite 330, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada
Art Night is when PEI’s creative community comes together to connect. It’s a time to meet and and learn from our peers from all disciplines while enjoying presentations and activities tailored for our audience.
Tactile Sketchbook & the Written Word
Sketchbooks are some of the most frequently used tools in an artist’s practice, but they’re often kept private. Tactile Sketchbook & the Written Word, led by Alexis Bulman, brings them into the open, with 17 of her own spiral-bound sketchbooks from over 15 years of dedicated practice available to browse alongside a collection of published sketchbooks by artists like Kate Beaton, Henry Purdy and more! Participants are encouraged to bring an armload of their own sketchbooks and notebooks to share while taking part in lightly guided tactile drawing activities that create a communal space for exchange, inspiration, and new ways of approaching the page.
Alexis Bulman
Alexis Bulman is an interdisciplinary artist based in Epekwitk / Prince Edward Island whose drawing and sculpture practice is rooted in community, collaboration, and care. Her sketchbook is always close at hand as a space to jot down thoughts, record lines from books and songs, sketch, and collect found materials and fragments. She has exhibited provincially, nationally, and internationally with support from the Canada Council for the Arts and PEI Arts Grants. Check out her PEI.ART page and her website.
