Residents and visitors are invited to the Shiraoi House cultural centre in LeBourdais Park on Saturday, Aug. 24 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. to see and experience Art in the Park. Quesnel & District Leisure Services host this event, where artists and artisans will sell and demonstrate their art in tents surrounding Shiraoi House.
In and around the cultural centre will be scheduled art demonstrations with lots of hands-on craft projects for guests of all ages. Water colour, acrylic, drawing and sculpture demonstrations will take place inside while origami, wind socks, bubble painting, and tie dye streamers in the trees will be located outside.
Leisure Services’ Art Program Coordinator, Elizabeth Waldorf, said “The event has run for years in the farmers market, and it has become so popular with visitors and artists that this year we have moved to a new, central location where the event can grow. Regional artists and artisans have all been welcomed, the more diversity the better. It is a great way for the public to discover many kinds of art forms and meet those in the community that practice art, be it jewelry, photography, carving, writing, painting, or ceramics. The Shiraoi House cultural centre is a beautiful facility, and it lends itself wonderfully to an event where people can buy, sell, demonstrate and practice art.”
