A reminder to artists, fibre artists, and photographers that the deadline for entries into this year’s 26th Annual Lake Country Artwalk is for artists, June 1; for photographers and fibre artists it is July 1. The theme this year is "Art in Fashion." For a while I thought that the Oliver Community Arts Council was going to forget us this year, but no, there in my email box was the notice that FASS is back! Yes! The 2019 Fall Art Show and Sale (FASS) is on for sure, and the theme is an open one this year. So, artists again you have a goal you can set for yourself over the summer months if you like - a painting, fabric piece, or three dimensional something or other to focus on – especially en plein air, perhaps – to get in tune with Mother Nature? The deadline for entry forms is Friday, September 13. Meanwhile – let your imaginations go wild!!! And this is the moment for me to wish you all a very pleasant summer since this will be the last of my newsletters until the fall when I hope to resume. I will continue to send you bulletins, as necessary, from time to time. Meanwhile, do relax, have fun while being creative, and enjoy what nature has to offer - hopefully in an environment free of the incendiary tensions and discomforts we’ve had over the last two years.
