Good news! there are some upcoming events in 2020 for artists and art lovers !
Thank you so much to the forward thinking organizers of these shows!

HANDMADE MARKET ONLINE SHOW
The organizers of one of my favourite markets to be part of - the Handmade Market - has created a fabulous on line platform for this special year.
They are holding four events.
The events will have a lot of the energy of an in person shows. Artists ( like me!) will be burning  the midnight oil to bring their very best to opening day.
Many of us will have limited volume of pieces so be sure and shop early and often.
The First show was a big success and we are already looking forward to the next one.
Canadian Thanksgiving weekend.
October 8-12
Thursday to Monday

All The dates are 
September 10-14
October 8-12
November 19-23

All the artist's shops will be open 24 hours during show time - then will close up till the next event.

Past 2020 events

So many of us are missing the summer festivals this year! 
Feeling super thankful to some of the festivals who are making innovative efforts to bring that uplifting festival spirit on-line, and safe distancing events.
Wind Festival for the Arts
The Squamish Arts council  is doing a great job of that! Take a look at all the things they have going on. I love the way they mentor young people to get  involved in music and art, and by putting their event on line they are bringing their positive energy beyond Squamish!
On  August 8 I took part in their on line arts show. Find links to all the artists who took part of the show through this link

For me being part of shows like this - gives me a deadline to work towards!! It inspired me to add some of my Classic Splash collection to my on-line shopping.
Thank you to all the people that shopped the show and sent me messages! Always so nice to have a chance to connect:)

Wow what a fun busy year it was! Super highlight was  meeting so many wonderful people!!
Here were all the shows I was part of for 2019.

This was me at my booth at
the New Art Festival Ottawa  in June 2019. It was the first sunny Spring weekend in Ottawa and it seemed like the whole city came out to celebrate.
