Summer is festival season in Quebec. There is not a better place on the planet for a summer vacation or alfresco afternoons on terraces.<\/p>\n

This summer, our cultural landscape will be enlivened by an extraordinary number of celebrations for Canada 150 and Montreal 375. ELAN will contribute to the festivities with Arts Alive! Qu\u00e9bec 2017. Thanks to support from the Canada 150 Fund, we\u2019ve increased the number of participating artists in 2017, including the number of ELAN members (if you responded to the call, see this link<\/span><\/a>).<\/p>\n

The fun kicked off in Quebec City (Morrin Centre) and Knowlton on July 1. Knowlton has a second day programmed on July 8, then next up is Hudson July 21-23, followed by Huntingdon August 18, Wakefield September 8-10, and the West Island September 23-24. I encourage you all to check out the Arts Alive! Qu\u00e9bec 2017 website<\/a> and plan a day trip to one of these splendid weekends.<\/p>\n

I look forward to running into some of you at Arts Alive! Qu\u00e9bec events this summer, and to seeing many ELAN members present and perform your work.<\/p>\n
