Do you believe in magic?
Lindsay Stocking Godfrey Gabriola Arts Council
Tuesday, August 31 2010
Our children are the wizards of great magic. Turning crayons, scissors, paper, paint and even glue into wondrous works of imagination that cast delight throughout our community. Teaching the art of living one’s life engaged in creative endeavours only strengthens a child’s possibilities. With this, the Gabriola Arts Council is pleased to announce our annual gallery tour kick-off and fundraising event “Do You Believe in Magic.” The recipient of this year’s effort will be total funding of the After School Art Program for Youth. We will reach our goal because we do believe in magic! «more»
