ShuGo

I'm excited - we've just added three more groups to the list of live arts events that youth can attend for only $5.  The Arts Council promotes access to live arts experiences for youth by partnering with arts groups to allow ShuGo tickets.  These excellent groups are on board - and all the kids have to do is get their ticket in advance at the art gallery.

All roads point to the Elves' Workshop (not Elvis) on Saturday, December 17 here at the gallery.  Now that the Affordable Art Fair is on the walls, we focus on the last big event of the season - the madness that is our final Family Saturdays project for the year.  The workshop will have four art-making stations doing stuff we've never done before!  It will be a Christmas miracle if it all comes together.  The DIA is doing a Santa breakfast that morning, then the workshops start at 11am.  If we don't eat all the muffins and end up napping in front of our digital fireplace, then four large-sized elves will be welcoming young families to make stuff for the rest of the afternoon.  It's thanks to Scotiabank and Culinary Inspirations that we can offer this workshop for free.  Generous businesses make the downtown a wonderful place.
