Celebration of the Arts 2016
Wow, what a fantastic event! On Friday, October 14 and Saturday, October 15 2016, more than 50 artists, performers, artisans, craftspeople, community members, and ArtSpring volunteers and staff came together to showcase art on Salt Spring in all its many fantastic forms.
The Celebration of the Arts is over for this year. Stay tuned for photos of this past weekend! And keep an eye out for the next Celebration!
In the meantime, special thanks to all the volunteers on the Celebration Committee, and particularly to Robbyn Scott for organizing the Mash-up performance, and Johanna Hoskins for organizing children’s activities. ArtSpring also wants to offer an ENORMOUS thank you to all the participating artists and performers!
