Taghum Hall’s very busy August
By Contributor
Taghum Hall is leaning into August with more ways to come together as a community to learn new things, appreciate creativity, and enjoy one another.
“We’re definitely busy!” admits events coordinator Heather Haake. “But then, great opportunities keep coming up, and how can we say no?”
Taghum Hall will be a stop on the Columbia Basin Culture Tour August 10 & 11 from 10am – 5pm. In addition to an art exhibition by members of the Creative Tuesday group, there are free workshops in alcohol ink painting, felt-making, watercolour, and a progressive art activity, plus supplies on hand for spontaneous art-making all weekend.
The full schedule is available at taghumhall.ca/newsletter.
There are a couple of spots left for KidsCan Camp, which happens August 12 – 16 from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Children 8 – 13 years can learn building with wood, sewing, knitting, and baking with community mentors, and create cool projects to take home. The $250 registration fee for the week includes lunch and snacks.
Brushes & Lunch in August is a plein air (outdoor!) watercolour painting class with Steve Quatrocci on Saturday, August 24 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Supplies are provided, or bring your own for a reduced fee. Steve is a gifted artist whose vision impairment makes him uniquely able to see the essence of his subject, and also to help others overcome challenges. Plus, there’s lunch!
On Sunday, August 25 at 3 p.m., violinist Natasha Hall offers a classical solo concert featuring Bach Partita No. 2, Ysaye Sonata No. 4, Kreisler Resitativo, and Scherzo-Caprice for a beautiful musical afternoon. Light refreshments will be served. Alongside her musical endeavours, Natasha is a certified Forest Therapy Guide and offers a guided Forest Bathing Walk on Sproule Creek Trail from 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. on August 25, by separate admission; registration is required.
Details, tickets, and registration information for all Taghum Hall offerings can be found at taghumhall.ca, where the Hall’s busy beavers are forever building cool community programs.
