It was a fantastic day full of energy, passion, and a belief in community that exuded from the artists, entertainers, organizers and visitors alike during Elevate the Arts this past Saturday.
The alleys, squares, cafés, galleries and performance venues downtown were filled with smiling faces, the young and not-so-young, all day long and into the evening.
The Downtown Courtenay Business Improvement Association (DCBIA) was proud to sponsor the work of the Comox Valley Community Arts Council (CVCAC) and the Elevate the Arts committee that put so much work into making this event possible.
“Congratulations to the entire group of volunteers and producers who brought this vibrant cultural celebration to life,” said DCBIA director Sue Smith as she presented a cheque to Jamie Bowman of the CVCAC. “We are very pleased to support this creative initiative as a major sponsor.”
The CVCAC and Elevate the Arts team hope to expand the event to three days next year, and the DCBIA looks forward to continuing their sponsorship and support of this celebration of the arts.
