2017 Bio – ManChoi Chow

Media: Photography
Website: www.manchoi-chow-photographer.com

He credits the talent of his Grandfather and passion of his father for photography, and remaining open minded, he has enjoyed his eclectic meanderings in the world of photography and printmaking: through landscapes, nature, portraiture, still life or life events. Many comment on his works’ “Zen” quality and appeal. He considers his emerging artistic avocation a progressive culmination of his profession as an educator, pastor, and spiritual healer. Discovering creative connections between art, photography, and healing is “re-creational” and great fun for ManChoi.

2017 Bio – Sarah Granskou

Media: Hand felting and upcycling
Website: www.sarahgranskou.com

Sarah Granskou discovered felting when exploring mediums for creating puppets for her performances. But it didn’t stop there; Sarah has been creating felted hats, clothing, accessories, slippers, play mats and cat caves. For the modest budget and imaginative puppeteer, she has lots of fun making trolls out of re-purposed mittens and household items.

Call for Artists: 2017 K-W Central Art Walk

CALLING ALL ARTISTS!
If you are an artist living in the areas bordered by Park, Victoria, Weber, and Union streets, and want to be part of the community, please join us this year. If you are from outside that area, but have a friend who lives in our location, consider asking them to host for you and other artists!
The K-W Central Art Walk is a team effort. Artists that are accepted will be expected to do their part in distributing posters and brochures in a timely manner. We expect artists to also be involved in decisions regarding details of the art walk. We also expect artists to attend at least 2 meetings, one of which will be the follow-up in November so we can de-brief. We are hoping to turn that meeting into a fun event.
Interested in becoming a 2017 participant? Please see our membership page for details.
