From now until September 8th, Sea to Sky visitors will be encouraged to participate in the first-ever Sea to Sky Arts Council online scavenger hunt to promote the new Sea to Sky Arts Council website, www.seatoskyarts.ca. This collaborative project is being headed up by members of five individual arts councils who represent five Sea to Sky communities: Lions Bay, Bowen Island, Squamish, Whistler, and Pemberton. By simply using each of the five Arts Council’s websites as resources to answer questions about arts and culture events in the corridor, participants will become eligible to win prizes from each of the five participating communities. The winner will be chosen by a random draw on September 9th, 2015.
The Bowen Island Arts Council is pleased to join its neighbours as a member of Sea-to-Sky Arts.
“We are excited about the prospect of promoting the corridor as an enticing destination for visitors to the West Coast,” commented BIAC president, Carol Cram. “This is a rich area, where the expression of arts abound in a diversity of forms and styles.”
As the only island community in the Sea-to-Sky Arts Council, Bowen offers visitors a unique opportunity to unwind and sail over to a haven featuring arts, culture and nature. In a national study, Bowen was found to be one of the most artistic municipalities in Canada. The island offers an enticing range of festivals and special events to engage in, attractions, galleries and studios to visit, gorgeous accommodations in which to stay and scrumptious eateries in which to dine. All of this is situated in the serenity and beauty of our island paradise. It’s a place to nurture both the soul and body. We look forward to welcoming visitors to our home in the Salish Sea.
Participants in the Scavenger Hunt will have to correctly answer two questions from each of the five Arts Council’s websites in order to be eligible for the prizes. One prize will be awarded from each of the five participating Arts Councils.
The scavenger hunt is live now and will run through to September 3rd. More information can be found online at www.seatoskyarts.ca, and at each of the participating Arts Council’s websites.
