Ontario's Buckhorn Art Festival


I chanced upon this clip on You Tube today and thought I would share it with you. The video was produced by CHEX tv - the source of my local tv news.

The Buckhorn Art Festival is a premier art show in this part of Ontario. It is very well attended and it sprawls over an area which incorporates about 8 buildings. To show at Buckhorn is a real validation for an emerging artist, for it means that you have "made it" through a rigorous judging process.

Like many of these shows, it is always fun to chat with artists whose work impresses you.
