Monique Art: July 2013

"Just Be", has now come to life on Ave E and F and 20th street.

It was a sunny day, the students arrived and the street was buzzing with activity for many hours. With 97 students, 40 parent volunteers and 30 community participants we created around 300 bees between Ave E and F on 20th Street. The students were from Georges Vanier Catholic Fine Arts School, Pope John Paul II, St. John and St. Marguerite. Thank you to all the volunteers.

Thank you to Day's Paint for helping out with some of the materials.

I feel like I have run a marathon and I sort of did. It was great fun to see the bees come to life. Here are the photos.

People from the community enjoying the bees.

Here was our youngest participant last night.

And here are some more random photos

Culture Days Event - September 29 Thank you to the students and parents that came out to participate.

September 21 - This afternoon amid road construction crews I painted some bees on the sidewalk so that they woudl be ready for Culture Days. THe painting by the studens on September 25 has been cancelled because the street repairs are not done and the area is still covered in construction fencing. It was a windy afternoon but the bees are there and they look great, they will look even better when the fencing comes down on the 27th (well that is the goal date).
