The Creative Arts Festival Overview:<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Festival is a full day Arts event. \u00a0It will consist of a variety of Creative Art Classes, an Empty Bowls Lunch event, a Youth Band Camp all at South Huron District High School followed by an evening full of Storytelling and Folk Music in McNaughton Park at the Pavillion.\u00a0 This is to be a fun, stress free day where people can \u2018come as they are\u2019, visit with each other, and nurture a creative spirit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are 7 classes offered during the day plus 3 mini-classes all covering many different forms of creative art, for example: sculpture, painting, dancing. Each class will be 3 hours in length and will teach a particular technique unique to its medium. \u00a0You can choose to take one class in either the morning or the afternoon. \u00a0Or fill your day with two classes!<\/strong><\/p>\n

In between the morning and afternoon classes, an Empty Bowls Lunch<\/em><\/span> of homemade soup will be served in One of A Kind pottery bowls made by local artists and volunteers. After enjoying lunch, each diner is invited to keep the bowl they used during lunch. All the proceeds from this wholesome lunch will be going toward the local Food Bank. Here are some pictures of the artist and volunteers who made the bowls! Well done everybody! \u00a0Click Here<\/a> to see more pictures of The Empty Bowls building sessions.<\/strong><\/p>\n
