Studio "C" Art Classes for Kids

Sponsored by Creativation Kids, "Studio "C" is place where children are encouraged to strengthen their imaginations and powers of observation. It's an open studio experience for children 7 to 12
designed for interaction with an artist.

What better way to learn than to be exposed to various art forms and styles and to have the opportunity of working with the artist whose work is being discussed! The young artist may learn a new art form, experience a different style, use various media and practice under the guidance of the artist

Willy Wonka Was Wonderful!

Did you get a chance to see the kids of Baysville put on the theatre performance of "Willy Wonka?"

If you were one of the many audience members who packed the house at the Rene Caisse Theatre in Bracebridge, you know it was a terrific performance and a wonderful night.

And it was a double treat because we were also entertained by the great performance of "Alice in Wonderland" by the kids of Dwight.

Thanks to Hub Productions for conducting the theatre workshops, Linda Lacroix and Peggy Hurley of the Baysville and Dwight libraries respectively for their vision in bringing this opportunity to Lake of Bays, and to the many sponsors who made this production possible.
