A Child's Vision of the Olympic Torch Relay
(Steveston, BC Canada)
The Community Arts Council of Richmond is looking for 100 grade 4 and 5 students to participate in a special project for the Olympic Torch Relay. This project is open to elementary school children in grades four and five who are either attending a Richmond elementary school, or Richmond residents attending school outside the district and is limited to 100 students.
We will be asking these participants to paint THEIR vision and design of the Olympic Torch Relay on a t-shirt. Once the designs have been painted and cured, they will be professionally displayed in our Artisans' Galleria in a special exhibition which will run January 23 – February 23 2010, and will be open for viewing, at no charge, to the participants, their family, friends and the general public.
The t-shirts will be theirs to keep following the exhibition. Participants must be available to paint the shirts during a 1.5-hour period on Sunday, January 10, 2010 and must comply with the rules and regulations set out by Heritage Canada and Vanoc. These will be revealed once the applicant has been accepted.
The entry form is available for pick up at Artisans' Galleria, 3651 Moncton Street in the village of Steveston, BC or on our website to locate the OTR SP Registration Form and further information.
Once completed, mail the entry from to CACR, #130 - 3651 Moncton Street, Richmond, BC V7E 3A5. This project is the result of a grant received from Heritage Canada under the Olympic Torch Relay Initiative for the 2010 Winter Games – Special Projects component and as such is subject to guidelines set out by Heritage Canada and Vanoc.
