COVID CHAOS --> Creativity

Last year's HeARTS Mosaic

CHAOS - "Where Brilliant Dreams are Born" - An 'I Ching' image
In the ancient Chinese book of philosophy called the “I Ching,” there are symbols to represent every human emotion and condition, including chaos. Under this word and symbol is written, “Where brilliant dreams are born.”

Before the beginning of great brilliance, there must be chaos. The state of chaos represents a problem that must be solved, as it is very uncomfortable and troubling to remain in chaos. From Einstein to Bill Gates, famous problem-solvers have described their creative process in almost identical steps from having the problem, to searching for a solution/method/
​formula/theory
to reaching that eureka moment when they know what to do.

​
We all find ourselves in this state of chaos from time to time, and if we go through these steps, we can achieve a solution.
There are creative minds all throughout our community. The chaos known as COVID has severely limited our social connections. We can’t exchange hugs, but we are requesting your form of art to express yourself – whether that means love, hope, joy or longing. Whether you are interested in visual art, photography, fabrics, literature, or crafts, we would like to see some solutions. We have planned a whole week of possibilities for you to get involved. All ages are invited to contribute to and attend these virtual displays.
​

This year’s festival will include drawing and painting, photography, fabric art, poetry, heart trees, and a quiz on the history of Peachland.  We will have a "Paper Hearts" display  in the Visitor Centre, an online gallery on the Peachland Community Arts Council’s website, and draws for prizes in each category for adults as well as kids 12 and under.
 
❤❤❤   Peachland History Quiz   ❤❤❤
EXTRA !!!  EXTRA!!!

Look out for a new history quiz each

month until ​ the Fall!!!
