Artist Talks Include:
Material: Britta Fluevog and James Kemp – Sunday, October 23 
Both artists balance experimental sculpture and installation works with the production of functional wares, each arising through the process of their material practices.

Both artists are engaged in individual and community-based works, each informed by strong narratives and realized in brilliant colour.
 
Abstraction: Rachael Ashe and Heather Braun-Dahl – Sunday, October 30 
Both artists work in different media, but are brought together through form and line, with abstraction as a common ground and understanding. 
 
Place: Marcus Bowcott and Connie Sabo – Saturday, November 5
Both artists have addressed place through environmental and social concerns, with intimacy and individuality that nonetheless speaks to the collective.
 
Studio 101: Seymour Elementary School
This one-day, invitational program brings school children into artist studios to create original artwork, including textiles, prints, hand-tinted photos, and leather and jewellery items. The students are also given funds to purchase a piece of art to hang in their school, as an addition to their school’s art collection.
