The Sam Steele Society and
the Cranbrook and District Arts Council are sponsoring the first Historic
Figure Portrait Contest for Sam Steele Days 2015. We would like you to use
your talents to produce an original portrait of one of the local historic
figures from the nineteenth century. It could be Sam Steele or Kootenay Brown
or Chief Isadore or any of the other famous people who helped to develop our area.
Pick your favourite character from the rich history of the Kootenays and illustrate him or her in the visual medium of your choice.
There will be prizes offered
for the best portraits in four categories:
Junior, Secondary, College and
Adult.
Entry forms will be
available at the CDAC office located at: 135 - 10th Avenue
South. Entries close and should be brought in to the Arts Council on
Friday June 12th at 5pm. There
will be a display of entries in the CDAC gallery during the week of Sam Steele
Days (June 16th – 19th) and then in Rotary Park on
Saturday, June 20th.
Elementary school pupils can
be involved, too. There will be T-shirt painting on a Sam Steele theme in
Rotary Park on Saturday June 20th starting at noon. Kids can apply
at the CDAC booth for a free T-shirt and spend part of their morning doing
their best illustration of Sam Steele on their own shirt. There will be a limit
on entries depending on the time and number of shirts available. So sign up
early!
