They say they're aiming for a "fiesta" that celebrates both arts and agriculture. Set for Sunday (August 12) at Country Heritage Park, the so-called Arts & Agri-Culture Fiesta will run from 10 a.m. to 5 pm. ° and features the work of 21 curated Ontario artists, live music, wagon rides, ag- ricultural education and a barn bar. There will also be art- ists actively creating work throughout the park. Ad- mission is $5. . Artist Susan Powell, whois co-ordinating volun- teers for the day, says there is more crossover between the arts and agriculture than one might realize. "There's so much unit- ing arts and agriculture in SO many ways," said Pow- ell, who is working on a cor- nucopia of oversized pa- pier-mache vegetables for the big day. "We often see a lot of artists in (Country Heritage Park) painting away. "People who are grow- ing food are creative beings (and) artists are your visu- al scribers of what's going on around us socially. They're capturing the land- scape." Among the Halton art- ists showing their work at the event are Sean Benton of Oakville, Georgetown's Monica Burnside, Pam Ross from Moffat, Camp- bellville's Tania Orton, and Milton artists Chaz- zly Johanna and Quinn Cruise. Art on display will in- clude oil paintings, mixed media, glass, jewelry, ce- ramics, pottery, photogra- phy, sculpture, ink, pencil and watercolours. The work will be for sale. Musical entertainment starts at 1 p.m. with Toron- to indie band Naked Wild, followed by roots rock reg- gae artists Ras Ali and Friends at 2 p.m. Country Heritage Park features 80 hectares of property used for commu- nity gardens, events and programming meant to- connect the community with its agricultural roots. It also features a "closed- loop, self-watering" green- house made of recycled wa- ter bottles, with a second one under construction. The park is located at 8560 Tremaine Rd. in Mil- ton.
