Upcoming PLAYshops, Markets, Retreats
Back Alley Market (in the alley behind the Excalipurr Cat Cafe on Albert Street, Regina. Saturday, July 12th, more info to come
Take a parking lot in a back alley in Regina, and invite 15 artists to come and transform it and just LOVE the magic that happens. Add in some musicians and free food for all and I can tell, you feel so great after visiting the Back Alley Art Market. Another is scheduled August 23rd and while I won’t be there, you wont want to miss it!!
Mid Summer’s Arts Festival, Saturday, August 2 from 10 until 4 at “the Fort”, near Fort Qu’Appelle
I hope you will come and visit. My booth is located a couple of booths to the left of the main entrance, and I try to bring an extra chair so that you can sit and visit. As well as meeting artisans, you will have a chance to create art, listen to live music, sip a Kraft beer and visit with friends. Congrats to the MSAF Committee and volunteers on their 30th year! Wow!

Heard of the Kenosee Lake Kitchen Party KLKP)? If not, read on!
Held at Moose Mountain Provincial Park, this legendary music and arts camps caters to both kids and adults. The air is filled with music – night and day. There is a wonderful community spirit which has been carefully nurtured over the years. Each day, as well as lessons, there are fabulous concerts, dances and jam sessions. You will meet some wonderful people! I sure did.
Last year I volunteered at the Kid’s Camp offering art for kids who needed a break from music. This year I will be at Kid’s Camp for Week 1 doing the same thing. Registration for both weeks opens March 1st, and fills up very quickly. Take a look at the offerings on the KLKP website.
