What an incredible 4 weeks with Chinook Blast. From media launches thru to the last week of the festival, the fair weather definitely helped. The crowds were very supportive of all the amazing installations, music, projections, performances, skating, and midwinter magic. From our stilting vantage point, we saw all kinds of positive community connections being made. Spectacle brings out the wonder in all of us. Let us all continue to hold tight to the transformative power of art and creativity. Thank you to the talented team who reprised both LED performance art projects: GLOWful Wanderings and Trails of Light.
