As everyone knows, The Cornwall Seeker strongly supports our Art Community whether it is Visual Art, Performing Art or Literary Art. (As we do with our Annual Seeker Awards Gala – which we hope to be able to have again very soon!) We were the first to donate $2,500 to our new Art Centre (something that we are very proud of) and recently with Yafa arts and crafts, we published a book “Letters from my window” which is illustrated by 5 local artists, Jane Macmillan, Linda Geisel, Yafa Goawily, Mandy Prevost and Tracy Lynn Davies. The book is a short story about a little girl called Sunshine and what she experienced through the pandemic. It is a book made to spread community love and the monies ($10) a book will go directly to the 5 artists as we all know that artists have had a tough time during the past year and a half due to Covid. Books can be purchased from each of the artists and are also available at both Seeker offices. (327 Second Street East and at 319 Fourth Street West).

On the subject of supporting artists, on Saturday, July 31st, the Cornwall Art Walk ART-A-THON will be taking place from 8am to 8pm in downtown Cornwall.

We all know artists, musicians and performers have been hit hard during the pandemic and the Cornwall Art Walk ART-A-THON (happening on Saturday, July 31st) and Art Walk (happening on Friday, August 27th) with your help will support local.
