This 2010 tour was a success. Five great artists, that all got along without incident, taught over 375 workshops in 15 towns over the course of 26 days. With 6000 kilometers travelled in our SCES Tour Van, and well over 5000 students and faculty affected, the most important aspect of the Cultural Exchange was met.
I had the pleasure of getting to know the four terrific artists on this tour - Melissa Nygren, Carol Morin, Kelly- Anne Riess and Evans Bamwesigye- and was thrilled to see how each of them grew as artists. I feel very fortunate to have spent the six weeks with them, and now consider them my friends.
I think it's safe to say that every one of us will walk away with our own special memories - weather bombs and Kandahar included. We each had a favourite school, class, community or incident, and will take these memories with us into the future.
Below is one of MY favourite memories:
So long everybody, until next year.
