ArtSpring Newsletter October 19, 2020
Dear Friends,
A couple of weekends ago I attended Judy Weeden’s gallery sale (and Bob’s apples), The Spinners’ & Weavers’ Sale, Anthony Matthew’s art collection exhibit, and then had lunch at the Vesuvius Seaside Restaurant…all in one day! I was grateful for having that art filled day. I recently asked staff here at ArtSpring about their favourite places to shop, you know…where you go when you really want to treat yourself. Meghan’s was Twang & Pearl, Malcolm’s Fraser’s Thimble Farms, Erin’s Blackburn Mall, and mine…Jane Stafford Textiles. We are an eclectic group.
The Limerick Project book is coming along – it will have all 78 submissions, some wonderful artwork, and a lovely foreword by Bob Weeden. We are really looking forward to seeing it. Please connect with the Salt Spring Foundation to get your copy.
With all best wishes,
Cicela Månsson
Executive & Artistic Director, ArtSpring

Interesting Links
A few weeks ago someone sent me a quote of Dr. Aisha Ahmad through Twitter. I spent some time looking her up and figuring out the background from which she composed this comforting statement. What I found was a very interesting Canadian, with a remarkable background. The Six Month Mark: Its time to adapt again – by Dr. Aisha Ahmad, International Security professor at the University of Toronto.
CBC article. Dr. Ahmad’s six part twitter post.
