We just get so happy whenever we see the amazing Art Express bus zooming around the neighbourhood so we were thrilled to hear about their collaboration with the Cultch.

On Saturday May 1, The Art Express launched a terrific event to go along with The Family Time Series at The Cultch.  Participants in the program got involved in a puppet making workshop on board The Art Express, and then were led inside The Cultch for a presentation of “The Tooth Fairy”, a puppet play presented by The Old Trout Puppet Workshop from Alberta.

“This was a partnership that was just waiting to happen.  The idea of pulling up with our bus right in front of The Cultch, making puppets and then heading in for a puppet play, made for such a complete creative experience!  I really love the idea of supporting a great place like The Cultch – such a wonderful venue with so much cool stuff going on – we need to turn our attention to such cultural events, and enrich our lives by sharing in the talent that surrounds us” (Michael Bray, owner/operator of The Art Express).

The Family Time Series at The Cultch will continue next year, beginning in the Fall, and The Art Express will be offering up their art fun/theatre fun combo to families with children between 6 – 10 years of age.  The Cultch plans to hold four family time series over the 2010/2011 theatre season.  Contact The Art Express by e-mail info@theartexpress.com for more information and to be put on their contact list.
