MAYOR’S MESSAGEI would like to take this opportunity to recognize the Huntsville Festival of the Arts for its’ continued contributions to our community. The Town of Huntsville has the good fortune of having such a strong arts, culture and her-itage focus that helps make this such a sought after program. I eagerly look forward to the twenty-fourth season here in our great town.
Our community enjoys so many great artists throughout the season thanks to the efforts of the Festival. Our Algonquin Theatre and other wonderful venues host local talent, as well as the best of Canadian talent, to entertain our residents and guests alike.
I would be remiss if I did not personally recognize the efforts of the volun-teers and staff that make the Huntsville Festival of the Arts the wonderful success that it is. Without all of the support the Festival would not be possible. So to all of you, a heartfelt thank you!
Please join me in supporting the Festival for another exciting season!
Scott Aitchison, MayorTown of Huntsville
This year’s summer line for the Huntsville Festival of the Arts promises to be better than ever! As we begin our 24th year we can look forward to a broad array of talented performers. From Bruce Cockburn to Sarah Harmer, and our own Hawksley Workman, there is something for every musical taste.
We have an active ‘fringe’ program including our popular Music at Noon Series at Trinity Church, outdoor concerts in our new River Mill Park bandshell, and an Urban Arts Day Festival titled ‘Back Street’. Nuit Blanche North will be returning next year along with celebrations for Canada’s 150 year anniversary.
We thank you once again for your continued support of the arts which allows us to present these concerts as well as opportunities for youth scholarships in the arts and school programs. We couldn’t do it without all of our sponsors, patrons and volunteers. I also want to thank our very active and dedicated Board of Directors and General Manager who work hard behind the scenes. Their many talents, passion for the arts, and creative ideas play a big role in determining what the Festival brings to the community.
We hope that you will all enjoy the upcoming season. Your continued support is an important part of making us successful .
Karen Cassian, PresidentHuntsville Festival of the Arts
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
HUNTSVILLEFESTIVAL.ON.CA BOX OFFICE: (705) 789-4975
2016 FESTIVAL ARTISTCATHERINE LUCE
I enjoy creating visual stories with interesting characters both human and animal. The wilderness and wildlife around Muskoka are inspirations for this work and my landscape paintings. I enjoy playing piano and singing and often paint to classical music. I aspire to capture the rhythms, emotions and movement found in music in my artwork.
My creative endeavours have included working as a graphic designer and illustrator, painting wildlife murals in a Nature Centre and teaching illustration and art work-shops to children. I have had the challenge of creating commissions for Nuit Blanche North for three years, including large papier maché sculptures and designing puppets and performing a musical Marionette Show with my kids. I have illustrated for Muskoka Rock Choir and was North Words Literary Festival Artist for 2013. I show and sell my work at Mystical Woods Studio, my home studio in Huntsville, various Huntsville Art Society shows, Cobblestone Gallery in Waterloo and online at catherineluce.com.
Exploring dreams, the fantastical and the slightly surreal are elements that keep me engaged with painting and sculpture.
ABOUT THE WORK
Being asked to create a painting for the HFA was very exciting as I knew I could be imagi-native and combine my love of music and the outdoors. I wanted to convey the magic and excitement of bringing world class musicians to Huntsville. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if we could gather them all up and bring them here “Muskoka Style” in a red canoe? A flying canoe? Why not? I then set out making interesting characters from around the world in a dream like setting. Hope you enjoy my image for this year’s Festival.

CONFESSIONS OF A FAIRY’S DAUGHTER
This is an extraordinarily moving story,well-crafted
and compassionately told. ~CBC
Based on her bestselling memoir, Alison Wearing tells the story of growing up with a gay father in the 1980s.
Woven through music and imagery, the comic monologue moves from Alison’s carefree childhood to the moment she learned, at age twelve, that her family was a
tad more complex than she had thought.
This show, which Wearing performs expertly, bursts with humour.
