4th Edition

Art in the Shuswap Submitted by Tom Wainwright The Shuswap Lake Festival of the Arts returns to the South Shuswap July 21st - 24th, 2016 after running for nearly thirty years. In past years the Festival was presented in Sorrento but this year has been moved to its new home at the historic Carlin Community Arts and Cultural Centre, known as Carlin Hall. The Shuswap Lake Festival of the Arts has a mandate to encourage art in the Shuswap area, and is encouraging local artists, young and old, new and seasoned, to submit their works for display and sale. Children are being especially encouraged to submit their works for display, with only a $10 membership fee to The Arts Council for the South Shuswap, and no entry fee per item displayed. The children's art display in the past has brought rave reviews from the public with requests for more in the future. This year's Festival will feature a 2D and 3D fine art show and sale, workshops, kids activities and exhibit, and back by popular demand will be the gift shop, with a food concession being provided on site by the Carlin Hall Volunteers. This 3 day workshop, from July 21st to 23rd from 10 AM to 1 PM, is designed to delight and teach the inexperienced and

experienced painter alike. Sandra Van Den Ham has created a technique to loosen the participant up to create a unique work of art with layers and generous strokes that make painting fun and heal that need for perfection. Be prepared to get paint on yourself as well as your canvas. Let that inner child out and come on a journey of creation that will release part of the artist within not yet discovered. Paint from the heart – no perfection required. This is impressionistic not abstract. The cost for the three day workshop is $60 per entrant. Sandra lives in Salmon Arm and studied art at Douglas College and brings with her a wealth of experience in painting and teaching and has been an artist all her life. Be sure to come to this year's music in Centennial Park in Blind Bay provided by Salmon Arm's own Jesse Mast and his band on July 23rd from 7:30 - 9:30. Jesse was North American Country Music Association International winner in 2014 for: Songwriter of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year and Male Entertainer of the Year. There will be a beverage tent and separate refreshment concession (provided by a Church) available. For more information visit www.shuswaparts.com.
