“The Art of Jazz: a unique event combining the work of local artists with the sounds of jazz students practising their skills at the South Delta Jazz Festival Workshop. The musicians will be inside the McKee Heritage House, which is now the Delta Community Music School, while the Artists will be set up in the surrounding lawns. The public will be invited to wander through the grounds and meet with the artists while listening to the joyful sounds of jazz bursting forth through the walls of the old house. What an event this promises to be!
This event will take place on Friday, July 8, 2011 from 1-4 pm at 4705 Arthur Drive in Ladner.
More information about artists will be available soon. Artists can apply to display works at this event by contacting the music school office at 604-946-1280
