*Spring has sprung! It’s time to get creative.  The Arts Council of the
Central Okanagan Presents Two New Workshops*

The Arts Council of the Central Okanagan (ARTSCO) is pleased to be
presenting two new workshops coming up the last week of April: one on
painting and one for musicians.

The first is is a lecture and demo from Golden Artist Colour Paints.
Presented by Golden artist Shari Pratt, a resident of BC, the lecture will
cover technical and practical information on all of Golden Artist Colours
products from acrylic paint to gels, pastes and grounds, as well as
introduce Golden’s newest products, QoR Watercolors, High Flow Acrylics and
the Open Acrylics.

Shari will also demonstrate various acrylic materials and techniques to
enrich your understanding of the medium, including basic tips for exciting
textures using gels and pastes, as well as how to extend paint to save
money.

Each attendee will receive a bag of FREE PAINT SAMPLES to take home!

Attendees have a choice of two sessions on Sunday, April 24th 10 - 12pm or
1 - 3pm. $10 per person. To register visit artsco.ca

The second workshop is presented in partnership with Music BC. Music BC is
a non-profit society serving the British Columbia music industry through
providing essential information, education, funding, advocacy, showcasing,
and networking opportunities. The topic for the Kelowna workshop on
Saturday, April 30th will be Modern Media.

With online media pumping out information at a rapid rate, it’s hard to cut
through the noise and get your music into the ears of future fans. The
focus of this panel will be analyzing what current forms of media are most
effective for marketing acts. Looking at various demographics and how they
interact with different mediums, we’ll explore how you can maximize your
marketing dollars and think outside the box to make the biggest impact.

“We’re excited to be partnering with Music BC to present this workshop in
Kelowna”, says ARTSCO’s Executive Director Katie Brennan. “Music BC brings
a wealth of knowledge in the music industry that our local musicians can
really benefit from”.

Local music man Vincent Jones will serve as the moderator for the panel,
which includes Rey Roldan of Rey Bee Inc. (NYC), Andrew Huculiak of
Amazing Factory & We Are The City and Chantel Chapman of Holler for your
Dollar.

The event runs Saturday,  April 30th 11am – 2pm at Inhabit (Habitat), 248
Leon Ave, Kelowna. Entry is $25 or FREE for Music BC Members. Please RSVP
