Michelle Lacombe's artistic performances project Hairdresser’s Hymn to Venus at the Warren G. Flowers Art Gallery was a true example of art in social spaces. The artist’s performance, was attended by students from Visual Arts and ALC. The two private workshops with Michelle took place in the gallery along with many other exhibitions in and around the public spaces of Dawson College. All the components of this project, artist talks, workshops and live exhibitions, worked directly with students in real-world artistic pedagogy. Students who experienced all or some of these components, expressed openly how they valued the interactions with the artist. This included students less familiar with contemporary art, like the math students who collaborated with Michelle Lacombe and students who came into the gallery for the first time because of the live presence and transformation that was taking place. Many students from different disciplines returned throughout the project to witness the work or to discuss with the artist.
