Arts Cochrane Questionnaire

The next stage in this process is getting the information from the community, and especially from the arts community as to what we want to become as an arts community, what kind of events and programs we want to develop, what kind of facility we want, etc.

So there is now an Arts Cochrane Questionnaire available on the website.

If you are an artist in Cochrane and the surrounding area, or are interested in the arts, we want to hear from you.

You can download the questionnaire from the website and then e-mail or fax it to Arts Cochrane, or drop it off at the Paintbox Artists Supplies store. They will also have copies of the Questionnaire if you would like to fill it in there.

Please get involved in this. It is so important that your voice be heard, so don't miss out on this opportunity.

I like to get things done, so I am hoping to start work on organizing the information we get by early October. So get your feedbck to us as soon as possible.

Thank you!

Parade and Arts BBQ

The past two weeks have been so busy getting ready for the parade and the Arts BBQ, that I didn't even think to do the blog.

Both events, I am happy to say, were a success. We had around 20 participants for the parade entry - between displays and folks who were part of it. We had good feedback about it, so will plan it earlier and better next year.

In spite of cold weather and rain for a good bit of the afternoon, we had about 40-45 people who showed up for the Alberta Arts Day BBQ. That to me says there is a strong interest and commitment to see something built with our arts community. So we will definitely continue the process of developing this.

Check the website for further details about the events.
