ALL ISLANDS ART SHOW 2010
: “ENERGY”
The 2010 All Islands Art Show will
open on Saturday, February 13, 7:00 pm at the Haida Gwaii Museum at Kaay Llnagaay Heritage Centre.
The
show will close on
Friday, March 19. On the closing night
the show “TEXTured:
The Literary Closing for the All-Islands Art Show” will be presented by the QCI
Arts Council. Share your text-based inspiration on the closing night of the
All-Islands Art Show. We’d love to hear from you in song, poems, dramatic
monologues, essays, stories, rap, or any other form of word-based art you can
come up with. Your words can be inspired by specific pieces, relate to art in
general, or delve into the art show’s theme, “Energy.” Join us at 7pm on March
19 at the Haida Gwaii
Museum for this celebration of words. All are welcome and if you can, please
bring an appetizer or dessert to share.
This is your last chance to see this year’s amazing
display of Islands artists too. Contact Heather at 559-0093 for more
information.
Entry to the show will be free to the
public. Please consider contributing to
the museum to help defray the costs of holding this event; a donation jar will
be available, and the purchase of an annual museum membership would be of
benefit both to the museum and to the art show visitor (for entry to other
events at the Heritage Centre).
