Children’s art exhibition at the “Spring Birds” fair

On May 11, there was a spring fair, which took place by the St. John Chrysostom church, Calgary. The fair was organized to help and support the church. Our parish has a great historic building, which nevertheless requires maintenance, this is why, from time to time, the parishioners organize these charity fairs. You can take a look at the history of our parish and the photo gallery, as well as the article about the spring fair at this website: http://calgary-orthodox.ca/events/ptichij-dvor-11-maya-2013g/

There was a concert and traditional Russian food. Aside from a plethora of other things, there was also an arts exhibition of kid’s works. Since the theme for the fair was “Spring Birds”, the children of course drew birds and their interpretations of spring. For some of the kids this was their first experience with art exhibitions, however all of the works presented there were all beautiful without exception. I would like to thank the church’s priest Father Stan as well as to the Sisterhood of St. Barbara for the opportunity to exhibit children’s works and for the organization of such a great event. I will put all of the kid’s artwork in my blog’s gallery.
