ATTENTION ALL VISUAL ARTISTS: IMAGES AND OBJECTS IX TAKES NEW DIRECTION On Sunday, M a r c h 3, 1991 all entries for the annual B . C . Festival o f the Arts show w i l l be judged for the North Shore, Whistler and Squamish communities by qualified jurors chosen by the Assembly o f B . C . Arts C o u n cils. This year the final show, w h i c h w i l l be held in North Vancouver in M a y , offers a new challenge to visual artists. First, the focus of the show is shifting from its traditional "search f o r e x c e l l e n c e " - a n external search by the jurors, to a "search for meaning" - an internal and personal search on the part of the individual artists. Next, artists are invited to create a work within a thematic context: "Creative A p proaches to Community Issues". Work which expresses in a unique and personal way a sense of identity and place which has a social meaning for the viewer as well as a personal, internal meaning for the artist. Artists who wish to work as they always have will be free to do so as the exhibition w i l l continue to have an open section as well as the new thematic component. Artists are welcome to submit works to either section or to both. The exact location o f the j u r y i n g for the North Shore works w i l l be announced at a later date. Please call either Arts C o u n c i l offices for further information. North V a n couver C A C 988-6844 or West Vancouver C A C 922-1110. ART GECKO "art M'ith the environment in mind" 2458 H a y w o o d Avenue, West Vancouver ART GECKO was established in February, 1990. The purpose of the school was to offer an area for children, as well as adults, to create magic. Such an area, using an "Open Studio" as a concept, enables everyone to explore their own creative talents. Painting and Drawing, Pottery and C l a y (using hand building techniques) and a M u l t i - M e d i a area are all part of the Open Studio, A r t G e c k o bases itself with the environment in mind, using water-soluble paints, unleaded glazes, recycled paper, and reuse of items for the multimedia class. During the early summer. A r t G e c k o was approached by C B C television which was covering the environment on a show named " D o w n to Earth". This was a great honour for the school, as it was dubbed "Environmentalist of the Week". Children attacked the beach at Whytecliff Park and scavenged the shore. The end result was the construction of a make-believe mountain resort, which was christened Mount Garajunky! Art G e c k o would like to thank all those involved in the project with & $ a special thank you to Sally Halliday for her fine efforts, and to C B C for producing a program geared toward making people aware o f the state of the environment. A l l the December workshops w i l l be centered around Christmas.
