The Gardening Festival 2004
The Kingston Arts Council's involvement for the second
year with the Gardening Festival, presented by the Lung
Association, was a unique partnership between the two
organizations. It ran successfully from February 26
to February 29, 2004. Gardening for pleasure and painting
what is pleasurable has always gone hand in hand for
artists.<photos>

Kingston InSightS
The KISS project was designed to develop community
awareness through art and increase the awareness of
art throughout the community.
Ten professional artists were chosen from the Kingston
region by KISS facilitators Ian Hodkinson and Julie
Fiala. From May to November 2003 the artists collaborated
with various community groups to produce ten unique
works using different media. Each one spoke loudly and
clearly to the diversity of communities that exist in
Kingston, to their need for a voice in the community,
and to their inter-relationships within the fabric of
the city.

New Media Arts Centre
Do you work with video? Are you a digital artist or
digital music producer? Do you need a place to show
your work, meet other creators, learn about some new
software, or rent that odd piece of equipment? Do you
always think of the media co-ops in Toronto or Ottawa
with envy and wonder why we can't have something like
it here in Kingston? <MORE>
