-Believe it or not, HCA is busily planning our Harvest Festival for 2010. It is tentatively scheduled for Saturday September 25, 2010 to be held in conjunction with Culture Days in Saskatchewan. If you would like to become involved by volunteering, hosting a workshop or performing, contact Fran Markewich @ HCA - 757-9952. It is already gearing up to be a wonderful day and evening; Terrence Littletent is scheduled to be our wrap up performer with the closing ceremonies to take place under the light of the harvest moon in the Art Park.
-Scotia McLeod came up with a creative and generous idea for their holiday celebration this year. Having chosen the Heritage Community as the beneficiary of their goodwill, the staff went on a shopping mission for food and gifts, and celebrated into the evening with gift wrapping, munchies and cheer. The hampers will be presented to three Heritage families on Friday, December 18. Additionally, they have donated turkeys to five other families. Thank you isn't enough. To quote one father: "Wow, oh, wow!"
-HCA met with Tessa Kelln, General Manager of New Dance Horizons this week to peruse the possibility of showcasing our Art Park in their annual Secret Gardens Tour, July 16-18, 2010. We sincerely hope that a partnership will work out; but in any event, I/we enthusiastically encourage all to take in their programming:
The Blueprint Series
4th Edition
A tool for both artist and audience, the Blueprint Series is a dance development and literacy project, an encounter in which audience members can witness new works in progress in a low tech, low stress environment. Audience members are invited to engage in a dialogue with the artists about their work. Delve into the dance dialogue and join us in discussions led by Robin Poitras and guest artists.
The series is scheduled to take place on Sunday afternoons starting in January and will feature Saskatchewan artists from dance, theatre, visual art, music and performance fields.

5th Annual Ice and Fire Carnival
Winter Snow Games
Following a year of hibernation, The 5th Annual Ice & Fire Carnival returns in a unique celebration of the Saskatchewan winter with the theme, Winter Snow Games.
Produced by New Dance Horizons in partnership with Great Excursions, The Dunlop Art Gallery, Sâkêwêwak Artists’ Collective and Neutral Ground in conjunction with the City of Regina and the Olympic Torch Relay, the carnival pays homage to a history of playing in snow, while introducing some new ideas and approaches to snow games not yet charted on the world map.
The 5th Annual Ice & Fire Carnival: World Snow Games, features the work of Saskatchewan artists in an exhibition of ephemeral sculpture and games all created of ice and snow, inviting discovery and participation with winter art, sport, stories, games, dance and more!
