DUE TO CENTENNIAL FATIGUE!! Join us in a one day celebration of the arts that we discovered while traveling throughout Alberta. WHY: To celebrate Alberta turning 100 a one hour documentary has been created to honour the arts and cultures around the province, this program and the events that are evolving around it, will choose one day in the autumn to share these findings with Albertans through song, film, dance and art. From Waterton to Medicine Hat to Cold Lake to Grande Prairie...the province is alive and rich in arts and cultures. WHERE: Edmonton's Heritage Hotel Selkirk at Fort Edmonton Park WHAT: Music, visual art, performing art, literary art and of course the directors cut of the Documentary Dreamers and Doers. WHO: Opening birthday wish from Alberta's first Minister of Culture Horst Schmid. Laughs and theatre with Geo Takach. Watch the website as the event details grow!! The day is open to the public. The evening is dinner and entertainment, $100 per person. The night is dinner and entertainment and bed and breakfast, $350 per couple.
Spend the night in this vintage Hotel!!

Did you know that many of the churches in the
North of the province were painted with fish oil and
pigment?
Did you know that Medicine Hat's Historical Medalta Pottery made most of the dishes for Canadians in the 1930s? Did you know that the Glenbow Museum is the result of one mans dream? Did you know there were two groups of artists called the Group of Seven? Who said "all hell for a basement"? Why? Our documentary crew traveled 30,000km in 10 months and discovered that they only scratched the surface when it comes to the wealth of arts and cultures this province has to offer. Help us in providing an all inclusive look at Alberta's arts and cultural history! We could not possibly have been everywhere in 2004 and there are many artists, musicians, institutions and art history stories that we undoubtedly have missed. Send them to us and we will include them here. dreamers@dreamersanddoers.ca
