An opportunity to ease out your paintbrushes (or microphones, as the case may be) is coming up this weekend, with the Spring Into Art workshops happening March 10.

A long-time friend of the Central Cariboo Arts Centre, Cat Fink came by with a golden idea for a workshop. It’s a fun, creative social experience for the general public, and a rare chance for the Cariboo’s most active arts groups to collaborate. It took a while to work out the logistical kinks, but eventually we rigged up a system.

Spring into Art is a one-day expo of creativity for adults, with entry level workshops in seven different creative practices. Folks can sign up for a half-day (morning or afternoon), or a full-day, and hop between different workshops of their choosing. With a half-day pass, you can choose two workshops. A full-day pass gets you four.

The workshop choices are:

- Pottery with Lesley Lloyd

- Creative Writing with Cat Fink

- Graphite Drawing with Kathryn Steen

- Pen & Ink Drawing with Ciel Patenaude

- Fibre Art with Linda Purjue

- Theatre / Improv with Sheryl-Lynn Lewis

- Music / Home-Recording with Brandon Hoffman

When you fill out your registration (either at the Open Book, or at centralcaribooarts.com/springintoart) you can choose which workshops you would like to attend, and we will build a schedule for you.

Spring into Art takes place this Saturday, March 10 at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre. For a half-day (two workshops, morning or afternoon), it’s just $47. A full day (four workshops) is $93.

We hope to see you there!
