Dig Your Neighbourhood: Mission will be holding its launch and showcase at the Marmalade Cat Café, 2903 Pandosy St, in Kelowna on Saturday, April 18th from 3 – 5 PM.
UBCO students in Creative Writing and Visual Arts will be launching FIFTEEN (15) fabulous new works about and for the Mission neighbourhood of Kelowna. Dig Your Neighbourhood (DYN) is a project in the Department of Creative Studies where students in the program create a package of art for a Kelowna neighbourhood which is then distributed by the Welcome Wagon Ltd.
The students will be launching the new package created especially for the Mission and it is spectacular. It includes two children’s books, a “fitness guide” to the Mission, a package of meditation cards, a winery calendar featuring Mission wineries, placemats, greeting cards, illustrated books and much more!
The package will be unveiled on Saturday April 18, 3 – 5PM at the iconic Marmalade Cat Café, a Mission landmark. The event is free of charge. All are welcome. There will be a draw for packages and selected items will be on sale. Meet the student artists and be there for the “handover” of several packages to the Welcome Wagon.
This project was directed by Creative Writing professor Nancy Holmes and Visual Arts professor Aleksandra Dulic, with financial support from the Eco Art Incubator and Lake Publishing Society.
