Capital Arts Festival 2007
On behalf of Capital Arts Festival 2007, we cordially invite members of the public to join us in an October celebration of Canadian arts, culture and heritage throughout the Capital Regional District.
Presented by Heaven-on-Earth Marketing and Image Management Company and in conjunction with a broad range of support from the business community, Capital Arts Festival 2007 is a regional event - administered, privately funded and produced exclusively as a business organized initiative.
Exclusive to practicing professional artists who live and work in the Capital Regional District, CAF 2007 presents an October showcase of regional professional arts events - produced by our member participants - in dance, music, literary, performing and visual arts. Member participants are responsible for their own program development and venue procurement, and all members keep 100% of their ticket proceeds.
This year's festival comprises 17 member participants and represents more than 750 practicing professional regional artists. The festival features a diverse array of traditional and non-traditional venues, including: the
Canadian Pacific Ballet's production of Victor Hugo's
La Esmeralda ~
the Hunchback of Notre Dame, performed at the McPherson Playhouse; to small and intimate dining establishments, such as the Seahorses Café - in a relaxed atmosphere, enjoy fine regional dining and live acoustic guitar preformed by
Brad Prevedoros. CAF 2007 welcomes the
Eagle Feather - First Nations Artists' Gallery: featured is the artwork of local Coast Salish master carver Doug LaFortune.
