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
