Plans are firming up for the Symposium in Cape Breton in July, 2012
Location: Gaelic College Campus
St. Ann’s Bay,
Cape Breton, N.S.
Dates: Classes July 2-6
Registrar: Nora Gross
Students may arrive July 1st and there is an opportunity
to stay an extra night after the event.
Some instructors have been confirmed and they include:
Jean Pederson - 5 days on varied topics
Bill Rogers - 2 days figure
Chris Gorey - 2 days plein air
Ron Hazell - 3 days seascapes, landscapes and streetscapes
Brian Atyeo - 5 days on varied topics.
We will have a couple of guest artists (TBA)
To help improve the event, I will be doing a survey
using our database of all past symposium attendees to find
out what they liked, what they disliked, and what they
would have liked- including instructors. Look for that
in the next month. This will help to fill in the roster of
instructors and provide other information we can use to
make this the best symposium yet.
At our annual regional meeting held at Ron Hazell’s
home and studio, Alice Reed suggested that we have a
program for spouses - an excellent idea. This would help
recruit those who might like to bring a non-painting
partner if there was something for them to do during the
day. We’ll work on that. My former employee is now at
the Baddeck Tourist Information Centre and will help
inform me of options, I’m sure.
Registration will start in January. Contact Bill Rogers
billrogers@eastlink.ca for more information.
