Good morning fairy tale enthusiasts,

It’s Fairy Tale Ring time again!

Our Fairy Tale Rings have been buzzing away with inspiring discussions around the country. Our local branch discussion groups have brought fairy tale lovers together for some wonderful exchanges of ideas.

Our chosen fairy tale for April is “Cinderella.” Even if you can’t manage to get to a Fairy Tale Ring, you are always welcome to send in stories or artwork inspired by the tale.

The wonderful Jo Henwood has compiled a reading list for the tale to get you thinking. View the reading list here: Cinderella Reading List

Not to mention our chosen tale coincides with the release of Disney’s new motion picture version of “Cinderella.” Looking forward to seeing that one!

If you’re not part of a local Fairy Tale Ring, but would like to be, Contact us for more information.

The exhibition includes paintings, water-colours, photographs, collage and a display of travel journals (sketches, water colours, ephemera, notes) completed during the travels.

Plus, The Artist Talk at 10:00 am is a 20-minute performance-presentation to highlight works of art in this exhibition.
