In two weeks - from Sept. 30th to Oct. 2nd - all Canada will be celebrating Culture Days - a nation-wide celebration of the Arts.This is what it's all about here in Manitoba:
Culture Days is a collaborative, Canada-wide volunteer movement to raise the awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities.
When is it? The last weekend of every September.
What is it? Three days of free, hands-on, interactive activities that invite the public to participate “behind the scenes,” to discover the world of artists, creators, historians, architects, curators, and designers at work in their community.
Why? To showcase the arts in Manitoba and inspire more support and participation throughout the rest of the year. It is also a great opportunity for artists and arts groups to get exposure through our intense communications and public relations campaign and through our media partners.
For more information about the events (many, many events) and the artists (many, many artists) participating, go to http://mb.culturedays.ca/en
A number of In Plain View Winnipeg artists are participating. I'm one of these and the image above will be one of the sculptures in my "Garden of Earthly and Other Delights".
