Guest at the 2008 Arts Expo.

Our aims in organizing the Arts Expo.

• To provide an opportunity for the Greater Ocean Shores Community Members to participate in a local cultural event and to identify themselves as part of the local community. To encourage an evolving sense of community in the Greater Ocean Shores.

• To provide an opportunity for Artists of all ages to participate in a local art show, and for historians to teach and learn of the local area.

• To highlight and celebrate the natural environment of the whole Brunswick Valley.

• To provide some important historical perspectives for the Greater Ocean Shores Community.

This year is the 7^th annual Art and History Expo in Ocean Shores. During the years we have seen the Expo grow from small beginnings and are delighted that a local grassroots initiative has been well received and supported by the community.

We feel our aims are being fulfilled every time the art entries pour in; when we see fear turn to joy when a novice tries a few dabs on the community painting, when a beginner receives an award, when old and young gather at the café to chat, when people celebrate their art, their history and connectedness.

Opening night on Friday will begin with a Welcome to Country by a local Aboriginal representative. Snacks, wine and live music performed by local musicians will provide a creative ambience for guests to view the artworks. The presentation of awards and the judges' commentaries are a highlight of the evening.

Over the weekend as well as the opportunity to view and buy quality local art, there will be art demonstrations, free music performances, co-operative art projects, and a Historical program by Frank Mills.

Coffee, tea and snacks are served all day at our Artists Cafe.
