Dear ASK Friends;
Well you may not have seen much publicity about ASK events recently, but, behind the scenes, there are dozens of staff and volunteers, scampering around like energizer bunnies, planning interesting things for you to do this Spring, Summer and Fall.
First up we have our annual Studio Tour, April 26-27. This is an opportunity for you to travel around King Township on a Lovely Sunny Weekend. You get to visit artists in their own home studios and talk to them in person about their work. Often they provide water or coffee, although no comments please about any dirty dishes you may notice in their sinks!
Next is another evening in our Travel Diary series, Wednesday April 30. This is a unique night of conversation at the Nobleton Library with a university student, Montana Mortimer, who recently went on a Queen's University exchange for 5 months. During that time she travelled around her home base of Australia, and in her free time she skipped over to neighbouring New Zealand and Southeast Asia, for some travelling and photographing there.
On May 3rd we have the opening of our 3rd art show at the King Museum, "Mellow Yellow." This show will be on display Tuesdays through Saturdays until June 10th. Come and see how our artists interpret that bright sunny colour. If you visit on opening day, you'll have a chance to meet the artists themselves. AND there will be refreshments.
In your mailbox on June 3rd you will find the summer issue of King MOSAiC. The cover may shock you, and the contents will entertain, inform, and educate. Inside the magazine you will find your ASK Festival King brochure. Read it and discover lots of interesting workshops, and unique tours and events to keep you busy every day from July 10 to July 24.
Ah but we are not done! On September 14th we'll hold the Schomberg Street Gallery. The entire Main Street of Schomberg will be closed off and artists' booths will line the curbs.
And Finally - in October we have an AMAZING event for you to enter. We can't say much yet, but get those cars tuned up and ready!
Hope to see you soon at one of our many events. And now I have run out of space.
Sue
