B10 - Tha Terrace Standard, Wednesday, June 8, 1994 Hillside — to blossom on June 21 THE ARENA HILL will blossom on the longest day of the year, thanks ta a community art pro- ject. The idea is the brainchild of Jo- cal artist Joanne Thomson.’ - The plan is that local people will buy ‘‘flowers’? — mullti- coloured balls of tissue paper mounted on popsicle sticks. - The flowers will be pushed into the hillside in clusters to form im- ages and a kind of community hillside mural. People will be ablé to create. any images on the hillside — from animals or dandelions, to their company’s ‘logo or .clan’s crest. One group of youths plan to create a gigantic Kermode bear with a big blue bow tie. “The finished effect will be that of an enormous mural, visible from many parts of our city and from the air,” says Thomson. The idea is similar to a Boat in the Rose bowl parade, she says. “The only difference is that this is Terrace and our Arena Hill is much bigger than any Rose bowl float.” The display will be a ons-day event on June 21. “Tt goes up at dawn and comes down at dusk,”’ says Thomson. Everything will be pulied up at sundown on June 21. But it does go to a good cause, The money raised from the event will help the Kermodei Choristers youth choir travel to a choral festival next year in Camp- bell River. If it rains on the 21st, they'll delay the project one day. Rain would make the dye run and turn the tissue paper into a big soggy mass, It doesn’t bother Thomson that the giant community mural won’t be permanent. “The pracess of art making is the aim of it and experiencing that kind of community involve- ment,’” she said, ‘It’s an idea that seems {to be catching people’s imagination.”’ The lissue paper and popsicle sticks will be recycled into other art projects in the. future, Thom- son said, adding the flowers may make a reappearance al the River- boat Days parade in August. They're calling the project “Welcoming Summer.” They'll charge individuals $1 for six flowers. Families can get 30 flowers for $5. School classes can get 80 flowers for $12. And clubs and businesses can get 120 flowers for $20. Thomson says people can call to reserve certain colours ‘that they may need. To get involved or to find out more information, call or fax Joanne Thomson at 635-7445, kkkKKK THERE’S MORE community artistry underway in June. A multicoloured mural will be painted on the side of the new Terrace Travel/ All Seasons Sports store at the comer of Lakelse and Kalum. Four students will be working on the project along with local artist Joanne Thomson. The images have been sketched on, and the painting will be going on for the next couple of weeks. The mural will be a tropical scene featuring owners Bob Park and George Clark riding a tandem bicycle, ALL 45 of B.C.'S BEST cheOUe DEALERS HAE Oe FORCES To Choose From!
