SUMMARY:Opportunity: Call for Submissions for Coastal Voices from K to 12
DESCRIPTION:Coastal Voices is an anthology of writing by Sunshine Coast students which is published annually by Celebration of Authors\, Books and Community (CABC)\, a joint initiative of School District 46 – Sunshine Coast and the Festival of the Written Arts that was formed to promote literacy and to encourage youth to express themselves through both the written and spoken word. \nStudents in Kindergarten to grade 12 have until Friday\, March 13 to submit up to three poems\, stories\, personal narratives or short essays with a maximum length of 500 words. Volunteer adjudicators usually receive between 700-800 submissions each year\, which they then have to whittle down to 150-200 pieces for the anthology. \nThe anthology’s professional design is possible thanks to Edmund Arceo\, the publisher and founder of Zoom Magazine. Arceo has been involved with Coastal Voices since its beginning sixteen years ago\, and he volunteers his time and expertise each year to produce a beautiful volume that honours and celebrates its contributors. \nFor more information about submitting to Coastal Voices\, students can talk to their teachers\, or email project coordinator John Lussier at jlussier@sd46.bc.ca.

SUMMARY:PR - WORKSHOP: Introduction to Gel Printing
DESCRIPTION:With Jennifer Love\nPrinting with a gel plate often feels like it is in the realm of magic. It is a recent addition to the artist’s toolkit and is gaining traction as an essentially painterly method that allows for multiple yet unique prints from the same plate\, without a press.\nThis three hour workshop is suitable for those new to Gelprinting as well as those who wish to refresh their basic skills in an atmosphere of exploration and discovery. We will cover the fundamentals – colour blending and gradations\, creating textures\, using masks and stencils\, the use of different viscosity paints\, building a composition and registering multiple layers.
