Arts Alive had its beginning in 2005. Joanne Wright writes:
“Pat Sabiston was taking a picture in my front yard, and we were discussing a new creative technique I wanted to try. We agreed that it would be interesting to take one image and reproduce it in as many mediums as anyone wanted to try. Pat took the idea and ran with it! She was only too happy to let interested local artists pore over her fabulous photos and choose one each year.”
Artists reproduced that picture in any medium and perspective of their choosing. Until 2015, the inspiring interpretations of varied photographs were displayed at the Farmer’s Market on the Saturday closest to Canada Day and then placed in the Library for the following month for continued viewing.
After Pat was no longer with us, Darlene Cowie stepped up to organize the event. Subsequently, the North Thompson Arts Council has carried on this inspiring project, displaying the resulting works at the farmer’s market and the Library as usual. Visitors to the NTAC FaceBook page can view a video of the current collection.
