Art of the Peace

The first issue of “Art of the Peace” is now available. We hope you enjoy this new visual arts magazine that is intended to promote and support the visual arts in the South Peace. Since January, representatives from the many visual arts interests in Grande Prairie have been meeting to discuss and debate issues and opportunities. Topics included promotion, information and financial resources, education, exhibition opportunities and networking.

We are expanding to include the entire Peace Region with the belief that working together on a regional basis will open up many opportunities for artists. Projects to date include the 1st Annual McNaught Festival, the artist directory in this issue, and the ‘Art of the Peace’ – “Painting the Big Picture” Symposium.

We are looking for your ideas, critique, and most of all your participation in this exciting endeavor. Lastly, I would like to thank the Peace Region Economic Alliance for their financial support and interest in our work.
