There is music at both openings and a presentation by photographer Monique Campbell on her candid captures with street photography at the Helson. Visitors and exhibitors can mix and mingle while enjoying the rich ambience of the eclectic extravagance of the photography and other fine art in the 3rd annual FORMS, FACES & SPACES, figuratively speaking! exhibit.
The festival kicks off on May 1 with a workshop at the Melville White Church; Jessie Chui with paper flowers, Icelandic Poppies from her Everlasting Flowers series. Saturday, May 4, from 1 -2:00 pm at the Melville you can talk with photographers Frank Myers and Rolly Astrom about their CAMEO Mini-Display, 2 Perspectives.
The beat goes on as the following week there are visiting artists, a Plein Air Demo, and more workshops! The Melville White Church is the third gallery for the exhibit and the “HUB” of the festival. You can easily do a day trip from one gallery in Georgetown up to the Melville, just four minutes south of Belfountain on Mississauga Road, then another 15 minutes from to the Pond Gallery in Alton.
With much ado about a lot of performance based art, hands-on creative workshops, some free and others ticketed, and inspirational work from 60 artists across Canada in the three galleries and St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Norval – Head to the Hills in Caledon and Halton and be part of a community where the arts come out to play!
