Summer Arts Events

It's now the season for various arts festivals and fairs across the country.

After a long winter indoors, these annual events provide an opportunity for communities to come together and support their local economy. They also allow the arts community to interact with the public, and to share stories and learn from fellow authors and artists.

Such activities range from art on the waterfront, puppetry, local winery and art tours, garden and jazz events, and dairy, turkey, bluegrass, and other festivities, as well as events linked to Canada's 150th anniversary on July 1.

Please check your local newspapers for events near you. You'll probably be surprised at the number of budding artists in your midst!
