The concept behind the three-day event is one to which Bryan Marrion has pledged full support; that “art can be fun.” To him, “the - biggest misconception in art, is that it is-to be appre- ciated.” He feels it is also to be enjoyed. Over 2,000 people took in the arts and crafts fair, the professiohal art exhibit, the delicious food, the book sale, the New Wave Fashion Event, the outdoor concerts, and evening performances by Vancauver's Pacific Salt Sex- tet and Anne ‘Wyman's 's + ‘Dance Theatre. Marrion feels one of the most exciting events was the Olympic Games of the Arts. | Local craftspeople competed ind variety of games such as ‘who could ‘make the largest pot in the fastest time, and how many mugs. could be - made in 10 minutes. Marrion sees a great deal of potential in that area for next year. Plans for the Second Annual Kootenay Lake Sum- “mer School of the Arts are already underway. The pro- ‘gram will be expanded to around 50 courses, and the intensity of the festival will increase as well. There will also be weekly “sharing sessions” where students and teachers will have an oppor- tunity to exchange ideas on, what they have done.
