THE 2019 FERNWOOD ART STROLL
The 12th annual Fernwood Art Stroll will take place on Saturday June 8th and Sunday June 9th from 11 am to 4 pm.
Fernwood makers and artists will be opening their studios to exhibit and sell their art. Visitors will enjoy this opportunity to see artwork in artists’ gardens, studios and workshops, making the event an enjoyable multi-faceted experience.
This year’s stroll will feature painters, sculptors, photographers, calligraphers, illustrators, carvers of wood and stone and makers of furniture and baskets. The Pandora Arts Collective, at 1923 Fernwood, will host an interactive site for children and families. There will be something unique and handmade for everyone.
This event is an opportunity to meet and support local artists. Please invite your friends, family and colleagues to join in. While touring the neighbourhood you can also enjoy the hospitality of the local businesses in the Fernwood square and Haultain corners: cafes, pubs and bistros, and the many unique shops.
The event carries on rain or shine. This is a chance for Victorians to meet local artists and designers. It is also an opportunity to walk or cycle around one of Victoria’s wonderful heritage neighborhoods when the gardens and streets are at their best.
For more information about this year’s featured artists and the map to find out where to find them go to: fernwoodartstroll.ca.
Mark your calendars…we hope to see you there!

Eine Kleine Summer Music Festival
Chamber Music’s Biggest Winners to Perform at 2019 Eine Kleine Summer Music (EKSM) Festival
Chamber music is generally not known as a competitive sport and competitions are not known for their large prize money. That all changed when the M-Prize was established in 2016. Of the 170 groups from 34 countries who applied and final 29 who performed, the Calidore String Quartet was declared the overall winner in a PBS televised event and awarded a $100,000 prize – the largest ever in chamber music!
“The Calidore String Quartet just keeps winning…and winning: an Avery Fisher Career Grant, the inaugural $100,000 M-Prize competition, a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship, the Lincoln Center Emerging Artist Award, a residency with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s CMS Two program, the honor of being named a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist. And that’s not to mention triumphs at so many competitions, including the Fischoff.” – Strings Magazine
