Across the centuries, stories have been told in a myriad of ways.
The Shuswap Arts council explores The Art of Storytelling in the 21st Century in a special two-month exhibition, which opens with a reception at 7 p.m. Friday, May 2 at the art gallery.
The exhibition features original works by local authors inspired by the magic of storytelling, daily readings from local authors and daily visits from members of this community’s own living library.
It also features interactive and collaborative displays. Put yourself in the story with a giant book, climb through a book tunnel or pen your 140-character contribution to the live@storysaga twitter story which will be published as an e-book when the exhibition closes.
SAGA extends beyond the walls of the arts centre with sculptural reading chairs at select public locations for your reading pleasure, complete with built-in books.
Just like any good story, be sure to expect a few surprises along the way.
As the show runs for the last two months of school, year-end class visits are encouraged.
For more information or to book a class visit, call 250-832-1170 or visit www.salmonarmartscentre.ca.
Gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is by donation.
