2010 Programme - Throughout Festival
Hornby Festival Jul. 29 to Aug. 7

This is also the opening of the Hornby Open Art Show. "Imagining the Outer Layer" is an open Hornby artist art show curated by local artist, Veronica Graham. The show features the art of the exoskeleton, the clothing of the form, from bird, to beast, to human - from pelt, to scale, to cloth. It is an exploration of the outer layer, an imaginary clothing show for the wall, wearable or not.

Back again is the Hornby Festival highlight, Art in Unusual Places. You could find a classical trio in the woods, sweet folk harmonies on the beach or foot tapping fiddle music in the Ringside Market. These 15 minute spot appearances are free to the public (donations accepted) and we hope they will inspire you to come and take in the evening performances of these fabulous artists.

To learn more about the artists see the programme.

2009 birdhouse by Julian Laffin

A favorite Festival fundraiser!

Bid on bird houses decorated by Hornby Island artists as part of a silent auction that runs for the whole festival. These bird houses are displayed at all of the main performances at both the Hall and Olsen's Farm. The bird houses are on display at the box office in the weeks leading up to the start of the festival so come on by and see which house catches your eye. Check out examples of whimsical and delightful birdhouses from 2009 and 2008.
