The Art Express
Climb aboard the Art Express mobile children’s art studio for some art fun on the run! This curious and creative studio is designed for young children, 3 - 10 years of age. Tap into Tibetan traditions on board The Art Express, as we delight in the creation of prayer flags. Children will learn about an ancient practice that began in India, and then spread throughout regions of the world. Participants will be provided with colourful cloth to create their own prayer flags. Writing their own mantras and creating traditional images that appear on the flags, we’ll display their work outside. The “wind horse” will carry the mantras of peace, compassion, strength and wisdom to all.

Mind of a Snail Puppet Co. - “Mouse’s Garden”
The stage is built in front of the audience while the famous puppeteer slooooowly arrives. A mouse plants a seed and waits for it to grow. The only problem is a hungry crow! This is a 25 minute hand puppet show with a deeelicious ending.
Mind of a Snail Puppet Co. are a “compost-modern” puppetry duo from the Sunshine Coast of B.C. Their performances combine originally crafted puppets, music and masked characters.
