Lumière Festival Worksops and the Afterglow Vernissage
Summer may be winding down but as the evenings lengthen there is still one festival to mark on the calendar. Not to be forgotten is the Lumière Festival produced by the Crichton Cultural Community Centre, 200 Crichton Avenue 2nd floor, in Ottawa’s New Edinburgh neighbourhood.
Founded in 2004, Lumière Festival has developed into a three-part event with lantern making, and performance workshops held at the Crichton Cultural Community Centre from mid August. Workshops are ongoing, and spaces are still available in many of the workshops. This is an ideal end of summer activity!
The workshops are preparations for The Evening of Light Celebration September 4th from 5-10 pm in New Edinburgh’s Stanley Park 193 Stanley Avenue, Ottawa. From early evening into the moonlight, Visitors are invited to bring a lantern and stroll along the riverside and wooded paths. Lit only by beautiful lanterns, candlelight and lighted art; skilled performers, poets, magicians and musicians will delight Visitors as a joyous celebration of creativity, community, and art unfolds.
The Transformation Tent will allow the little ones to join in the excitement and opportunities to create a simple lantern will be available.
New this year is the AfterGlow photo marathon challenge. Over a 12-hour period, registered participants will capture the essence of
Lumière in just six shots! Open to the public, the Afterglow Vernissage will take place on Tuesday Sept. 7 in the Corridor Gallery at the Crichton Cultural Community Centre 200 Crichton Ave, 2nd floor where photographers will see their work hung on the gallery walls. The AfterGlow of Lumière- a photography exhibit, continues to September 9th 2010.
