Visual artist Wendy Walace says tbe «direction" of this year's Artfest is «community inveive- ment" -- sornething art institu- tiens in the region have been unsuccessful in developing. "nhe Durham Art Fest reaches the public like ne other exhibi- tien epportunity,» says Wallace, who notes tbat organizers want te create a festival similar te the Peterberough Art Festival, «representing aIl facets of the arts community.» Wallace suggested last October that DurhamShoestring Perfor- mer, of which she is a member, take art in the Artfest. They agreed and se did the artists. On Friday, Sept. 16, starting at 7:30 p.m., the Shoestringers wil present a series of «surprise" performances in wbich tbe acters and the art interact, creating 10-minute plays. Wallace, who is making sculp- tural p reps for the performances, says thbe performances wiii repre- sent an introduction' for actors and artists te initiate audience entbusiasm and participation." On Saturday, Sept. 24, start- ing at 8 p.m., the Shoestringers 1il present «To the Point," a series of 10-minute plays writen by local 1layrights and the Tarragon Theatre. There will be storyteiiing by George Blake and the Folklore Society on Thursday, Sept. 29. 7:30 p .m., and the PickeLring Higb Sbool Theatre will performn on Saturday, Oct. 1. Wallace says Artfest reflects changes in the arts, since it is an event that invites community in- volvement. «I don't make art so0 it can sit in a gallery that cannot generate a suf icient audience," says Wal- lace. «Exhibitions are tMhe only source for artists te display their work.» Admission is free te Artfest, that includes works b y such Whitby artists as Sean c Qay Ruth Read and Kim Stallworthy. 3 DAY RURAL 1 ,000's of movies wihin i our vast selection!

Seeing ber words in print was thefufIiment of a dreamno, says Jordan, but also a lot o hard work. .«It takes a lot of self-discipline te write a book, but I love it. It's my life...
