Special Thanks
We would like to say a special thank you to soprano Nicole
Jordan, mixed media artist Tara Arnold, book publishers Flanker
Press and the National Film Board for donating holiday gifts to our Arts
East’s writers.
Since Arts East is currently volunteer-run, we wanted to find a way to reward the nine writers who this year contributed their time and talent to cover Atlantic Canadian art stories and events. Thanks for recognizing this group of fine contributors with your generosity and artistic/creative presents!
