My highlights from the 2013 Summer Arts Festival

The 2013 Summer Arts Festival has been a wonderful beginning to summer days in northern British Columbia. Ten days filled with arts, music, film, poetry and workshops - all of it free and fun, fun, fun! Thank you Terrace and District Arts Council for another fantastic festival!
My highlights for 2013 are

• arriving at the opening reception for the Misty Rivers and Waterfalls show to
  find both my paintings had red "sold" dots, my thanks to the buyers!
• the music performed by Classical Act at the gala opening
• the Rivers Speak poetry readings
• the Empty Bowls soup fundraiser for the Foodbank
• Terrace Pipes and Drums
• dancing to the music of King Crow
• making kids collage pictures with Jo Colley
• boardwalk art in the park
• acrylic painting exercises with Dianne Postman
• eating Café Zesta cake with the three very tired leaders/organizers/Jills-of-all-trades at the closing get together - thank you Kim, Susann and Laura
