Yellowknife Online

This past weekend (Nov. 21-22) was the 2nd annual Art Expo put on by the Aurora Arts Society. There were many local faces at the event presenting there master pieces. Everything from glass sculptures to painting and photographs to basket weaving. Something that always interests me is photography of Yellowknife, so when I saw some of Fran Hurcomb’s work I was in awe. Some of the other artists that were in attendance were: Ann Timmins, Jennifer Walden, Monique Roberts and Caitlin J. Lacey. There were also jewelry by Naimo Lewsaw, Glass work by the Yellowknife Glass Recyclers and sculptures by Monique Roberts.

To view all of my photos you can check out that Flickr Set. Be sure to also check out photos taken by a fellow local blogger on his blog Life in the Knife. Did you go? What did you think?

Like last Saturday, this one will be just as busy. So events happening Friday and Saturday (Nov 20,21) are as followed, The New Moon Movie. No we’re not all into Twilight? I guess not…. No in all seriousness there will be a lot of fun things happening this weekend.

Friday night is full of local entertainment.

• Starting off we have a band break up, oh sorry we have The Break Up opening for Mary Caroline‘s CD release at the Top Knight Pub. The music starts at 8pm and goes until 12am.
• If the bar music sense isn’t your style, the St Pat’s Drama Production is putting on A Christmas Carol on both Friday night and Saturday night. The show starts at 7:30pm both nights and is help a NACC in Sir John High School.

All day Saturday there is something to do.

• For starters the Aurora Art Societies Art Expo is happening all day Saturday and Sunday. The Expo will be happening in the DND Gym located inside the Multiplex to the right. It goes from 11am to 5pm both days.
• Later in the day the annual City Santa Clause Parade will be taken float (HA). This years theme is Christmas across Canada, the night will be filled with lights and cheer. The parade goes from City Hall, down main street and finishing at Sir John High School (Just in time for you to catch the last showing of A Christmas Carol).
• Then after all that, Havana Night is back at Fuegos. From 10pm to 12:30am the Latin dancing will hit the floor. Get all the information on Facebook.

The second annual Artists Exposition or Art Expo will be happening on November 21 and 22 from 11am to 5pm both days. The Expo will be taking place in the DND Gym in the Multiplex.
