2007 HCAC Events

Festival of Art 2007

We wish to thank the great folks at the Piziquid Aquatic Club for making our exhibit run and look great!  From clearing out the club space for us, to helping mount artwork securely and even offering extra lighting, the Club staff could not have been more helpful to the Council. 

The exhibition space was very pleasing to the eye, with a warm golden glow provided by the knotty pine walls and plenty of natural lighting thought the large windows.  The Piziquid Aquatic Club, Windsor, Nova ScotiaRefreshments were light, tasty and attractively presented by the attentive & winsome wait staff.  Artists and guests alike seem to have enjoyed mingling and conversation while sampling a variety of wines and cheeses. 

Outside on the spacious wrap-around deck, visitors got a breath of fresh air while observing the waterfront activities of the Sam Slick Festival and watched the sun setting over the placid but picturesque Avon River.  Here are a few candid photos from the Opening on Friday evening; click for enlargements...

Our Friday night opening attracted a good crowd on a beautiful evening. Show Coordinator David Howells welcomed special guest speaker Windsor Mayor Anna Allen.
The main club space was filled with both work & guests... who enjoyed the opportunity to mingle with old & new friends.
With the walls filled with artwork, a centre table display also showcased glass, sculpture... and clay pieces, ensuring our show was truly a multi-media experience!
