The Black Lantern Experience is an art show featuring the creative work of a group of independent artists based in Welland, but not limited to the confines of its borders. This city collectively unites a group of artists putting forth an effort to create cultural change through artistic influence on our community by working in a variety of alternative artistic forms, mediums, and subjects. We seek to encourage one another in our artistic pursuits, and establish a place for ourselves within the local arts community.
