Persephone Beer Farm: Fibre Farm Launch!

Please join the Sunshine Coast Arts Council to celebrate the launch of the Sunshine Coast’s newest fibre arts and culture hub: Fibre Farm an Indigenous-led, disability justice centered, growing and gathering space! Art and fibre demos, storytelling, music, and a chance to participate in invasive species removal as you check-out the new accessible pathways, garden bed, fire pit, art studio, and deck.

It has taken a village to get this project off the ground, with funding from the Island Coastal Economic Trust, the BC Arts Council, alongside work from the incredible team at the SCAC and Persephone, and the generosity of local businesses like Salish Soils and Gibsons Building Supply, and the supportive community buzzing around this project- we couldn’t have done it without you! Please come out and celebrate the work that has been done, and the work that has just begun!

Fibre Farm: Ground Breaking Ceremony

This project is motivated by closer relationship to the land. Building an accessible gathering space for community to participate in remediating a wetland ecosystem, dynamic workshops and teachings, processing natural plant material, the Fibre Farm will be a space to create community around culture and fibre artistry. You are invited to witness and participate in this ceremony which will involve inoculating the wetland and pond with native rhysomes and seeds.

Hackett Park Artisan Fair

The Hackett Park Artisan Fair is an annual gathering of local and regional vendors. The Fair has been an annual tradition on the Coast for 34 years, and attracts close to 5000 visitors seeking to discover the creations of artisans who are jury selected based on talent, originality, and the unique items they have to offer for sale. In keeping with our ongoing tradition, the fair will coincide with the popular Festival of the Written Arts (August 11th-14th, 2022, celebrating 40 years!)
This year’s Fair will take place in the lower field of Hackett Park and at the Arts Centre.
We will have live musicians in Hackett Park’s new amphitheatre and fun activities at the Arts Centre. There will be a large variety of artisans, artists, entertainers, and food vendors!
Entrance by donation!
