Hi all Friends of Kingston Inner Harbour,
1) Final call for ON THE WALL, our amazing street art event.
Celebration of Artists and the Arts, Sat. Aug 23 from 3-8 pm.
Douglas R. Fluhrer Park (Go as far north as you can on Wellington St. and you will be there!)
The artwork is truly beyond anything I could have imagined!
And the line-up for Saturday is really wonderful as well Participatory activities for the whole family: poetry, dance, drumming, Open Mic, children’s games, slacklining, tai chi, etc as well as food and music.
Official start at 3 pm with Mayor Mark Gerretsen cutting a cake and Laurel Claus-Johnson with an Aboriginal tobacco ceremony followed by all sorts of family-friendly arts, sports and games for the rest of the afternoon.
Thanks to very much to everyone who donated to our Indiegogo Campaign: http://igg.me/at/onthewall We managed to raise the $6000 we wanted to pay the artists and cover expenses. So very much appreciated!
