Wood & Leather: live demonstrations and sale with Ellen Murphy of Mule Mother Books, Catie Doucette of Rabbit Foot Jewellery and wood Carver Alfred Carter, who also happens to be our Artist in Residence this season.
Artisans in Action provides an opportunity for Nova Scotian artists and artisans whose focus is on historical trades, crafts, and art forms done in both traditional and contemporary manners.
Participants will have a chance to present informative and engaging demonstrations, displaying their skills and a selection of their products for sale.
Last year's revival of the popular event proved to be a valuable networking experience for the participating artists and we hope to continue to grow the series into an annual tradition. This year's series is partially funded through the department of Communities, Culture and Heritage through Support4Culture and is being heavily promoted locally. In the weeks and days leading up to the event we will profile each artist individually as well as providing live coverage the day of via social media.
Please see our facebook page for a look back at the 2013 season. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Avon-River-Heritage-Society-Museum/127599430612690
In addition, this year we will also be recording interviews with interested artist; these "mini documentaries" will be added to an online "Artisans in Acton" archive on both the www.avonriver.ca site and www.hantscountyartscouncil.ca, and each listing will link back to the artist own person page/site. This will provide each artists with a marketing tool that lives on after the initial event.
We are currently still accepting artists for all themed events.
