The board of Arts on the Ave would like to send a resounding thank-you to volunteers, sponsors, artists and everyone who attended the recent Kaleido festival on 118 ave, Edmonton’s largest block party. The event was a raging success — even that wicked northerly wind couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm.
From the dancing to the music to Shakespeare being performed in the playground, Kaleido was a testament to community spirit, and to the power of art to inspire us, unite us and delight us.
Thanks, everybody. And see you next year.
The board of AOTA
