Hornby Island Children’s Art Show

In Honour of our Members and Donors
Thursday, Aug 2nd, 7pm – 9pm
Hornby Community Hall - Free Event!

This year’s art show will be presented by the Hornby Island Elementary School. These talented children have explored the process of creativity with musical elements woven in and will transform the Community Hall into a magical art gallery. Hornby’s exceptional Brett Martens Trio will perform gypsy swing music and original compositions from Marten’s debut CD. Be sure to be here for a sneak preview from our first act at the farm by Los Pinguos. Just a little teaser to get you in the mood!
