Editor’s Note<br />
There is something about this time of<br />
year that heightens the senses.<br />
Maybe it’s the intensity of the sun,<br />
the smell of grilled food, the laughter of<br />
company on the deck and the visual array of<br />
flora in its abundant glory. There are so<br />
many possible outcomes for fantastic<br />
weekends and extended weekday evenings,<br />
that sadly, in our climate we just have to do<br />
our best to squeeze it all in during this<br />
season.<br />
This issue of ARTnews is giving you<br />
a glimpse of some potential seasonal<br />
activities. If you like nature walks with a<br />
twist, art tours, artistic destinations for family<br />
experiences, and not-to-be-missed outdoor<br />
performances, then keep this magazine as<br />
your go-to summer read.<br />
Share the common thread of fibre art with<br />
over 26 artists involved with the second<br />
International Triennial of Textile <strong>Arts</strong> in the<br />
Outaouais on pages 6 to 7. Want to add<br />
more international flavour to your itinerary?<br />
Then see page 9 for performances in the<br />
Music & Beyond Festival and turn to page 11<br />
for the National Gallery of Canada’s Sakahàn:<br />
International Indigenous Art exhibit.<br />

Vision Weave, by textile artists Thoma Ewen<br />
and Gabby Ewen, is a visual expression of<br />
inter-cultural and inter-generational creative<br />
collaboration. Hidden within the woven wool<br />
banners suspended from the foyer ceiling<br />
of the Albion Heatherington Community<br />
Centre are over 100 ‘vision messages’ for<br />
the present and future written by members<br />
of that community.<br />
The artist team set up their portable loom<br />
outdoors at the Better Beginnings Better<br />
Futures <strong>June</strong> celebration, and in the centre<br />
throughout July 2010 to teach, animate,<br />
communicate and direct the weaving of<br />
the Vision Weave project with community<br />
members of all ages. On strips of ribbon<br />
and fabric entwined throughout the textiles<br />
contributors declared their shared hopes,<br />
dreams and visions for a vibrant, peaceful<br />
and creative community.<br />
