Art Market: Fabulous setting and great variety of Arts and Crafts. The market had a relaxed and fun atmosphere. How about ethnic food for next year? Great job Marg!
Folk Fest: Perfect location- it felt like a folk festival - good music, lawn chairs, kids and dogs running around. We were towards the back but still could hear well. Missed the last act but heard it was amazing. Way to go Rodney!
ArtWalk: Lots of wonderful Art! Most venues put a lot of effort into their exhibitions and all looked great.
Art in Motion: Participants ranging from 8 to 80 enjoyed the brisk walk and a taste of Lloydminster's excellent art venues. "in motion" reps were well prepared, lead informative warm up exercises and were helpful and friendly. Thank you "in motion"!
The art venues on our tour were excellent! Dawn at Dawn's Interiors give an interesting and comprehensive tour of her local and regional art collection. Leckie and Associates were very welcoming and have an amazing collection of paintings spread throughout 20+ offices. The Legacy Art Club guides were also very welcoming and showed us a variety of art produced by local seniors. Cesar and Wes at Studio Six toured us through their photography studio and photo collection. The Barr Colony tour guide gave us some background info and tour us through the amazing Imhoff collection. We then had the opportunity to view an authentic gallery show of the MWCA's work. The Lloydminster Friendship Centre's exhibition was the most surprising. Their youth workers did a beautiful job of exhibiting their art collection and the staff prepared a lovely tea for our enjoyment.
Dance Legacy: 65 dancers entertained a packed house at the Legacy Centre with a lively multicultural dance performance. The dancers appeared to be having a great time and the audience very appreciative. There were no delays in the performance, Carrie Pollard the MC did a beautiful job, the volunteers were excellent and the desert delicious.
The Malanka dancers, Studio Encore, the Métis dancers and fiddlers, Spearpoint Drum Group and Pow Wow dancers, the Filipino dancers and the Chain and Circle Square Dancers all made a special effort to put on a wonderful show!!
Lloydminster Writes: The late afternoon portion of this event was held in a lovely relaxed setting and showcased some of our local writers. The evening prose and poetry presentations and Ron Ror's excellent play were enjoyed by a large and appreciative audience. Ron's play was brought to life by an amazing cast of local actors. A nice mix of humor and more serious literary selections made the evening a memorable event. All this was topped off by the most amazing pie! Michele Duczek and Cathryn Gantefoer are both natural MC's which made the event even more enjoyable. Well done Cathryn!!
Festival Awards: A nice crowd attended the Awards ceremony in the wonderful Imhoff Theatre. As Lloydminster's public Art Gallery it is an ideal location for these awards. I very much enjoyed the presenters comments about each award winner and the power point presentation of the winners work. Good job Denise and Cathrine.
Quick Draw: As usual an exciting and fun evening!! Congratulation RaeLynn on another successful fund raiser!
Lloydminster Reads: A completely enjoyable event attended by a nice audience of avid readers. The room was charmingly decorated in the novel's theme, the MC interesting and knowledgeable, and the author entertaining and accessible. I particularly enjoyed Lois' reading as there is nothing like hearing a story in the authors voice. Thank you Marilyn and Roni for a great evening.
Writers Workshop: Very good, well attended, workshop covering a wide range of writing information. Lois Simmie is an entertaining speaker with more writing knowledge that she could possibly share with us in 3 hours. Congratulation Cathryn!! And thank you to the Barr Colony staff for helping get Lois to the bus on time.
