From Councillor Brenda Parkinson;
“There are so many fun and exciting events being planned. We have booked the Princesses from “Enchanted Fables”, the headliner is “knacker’s yard” Traditional Celtic Folk Band, Poet Laureate Wendy Morton will create a CanadaDay Poem and the list goes on.”
The project that Councillor Brenda Parkinson and Members of the Arts Council and friends will be working on is an Art Collaboration with all the Residents of Sooke.
There will be two blank (white) canvases for the artwork.
The size of each blank canvas will be 60” x 40”.
The painting on the left was painted using this method.
THE RULES FOR PARTICIPATING:
1. One brush
2. One colour

Two amazing pieces of art will be created by the people of Sooke and each completed canvas will be displayed in the Sooke Council Chambers.
