In addition to hosting these events, having a float in the Didsbury Elks & Royal Purple Parade in August, and a booth at Showcase Didsbury in September, we will continue our promotion of other art events, doing everything we can to let people know about arts & cultural events in Didsbury and Mountain View County, (and our nearby neighbours in surrounding communities). This will help get the word out for local area painters, high school drama productions, band concerts, art galleries, museum exhibits, library programs ... everybody who's doing anything that has to do with the arts!
