Frequently we receive requests from organizations asking for donations from our members. It is not PRAC's policy to send requests to members, but as some members may choose to support them, we are starting this list for you to check out. When you request artwork, please include where the donation will be published/promoted, if there is a tax receipt, if it is a 50/50 sharing of funds raised.

Mask Magic at Artfest
Each year PineRidge Arts Council offers a new arts experience to visitors at Artfest. This year, thanks to the generosity of Enbridge Pipelines Inc., kids of all ages will be able to paint and decorate free wooden masks to take home. The annual popular outdoor event, Artfest on the Esplanade, brings families together at the arts and crafts tables. Parents, grandparents and kids will receive guidance and suggestions from a PRAC teaching artist (if they wish) and create their unique mask to show off and treasure. New this year is Camp Creativity.
Artfest will be on Saturday, May 25, between 11 am and 5 pm in Esplanade Park, (between the Civic Complex and Recreation Centre). Free parking and free admission.
Check our our new webpage. Our members offer wonderful workshops and lessons that may be difficult to find on our calendar pages, so now there is a page devoted to them. If you are a PRAC member and have an upcoming workshop or series of lessons you would like listed, let us know.

Labels Anyone? Michael Jack has a labelling machine – free to a good home! The machine is called the Merlin is made by Gestetener and new, was worth about $4,000. If you think of one of those little Dymno labelers, this is the same high tech version, like an electric typewriter which has different fonts and spits out peel and stick labels you can put on everything in sight. Librarians loved it. This machine looks in size and weighs much like the old electric typewriters of the 70s and 80s. There are around 20 discs that go with the machine with a variety of fonts. Michael has the supplies that go with it – “a great amount”, he says, “ and you would probably not have to buy anything for at least five years – and it’s free!”.
If inerested, please contact Michaeal Jack at 905-668-2990 or michael.jack@ rogers.com
The Nautical Village is one of Pickering's hidden gems check it out!
Students at Dunbarton High School work with Dorsey James, Sculptor, and Amy Cashmir, teacher, to carve out family values. Students were asked to identify those family values which they consider important. The students then created visual symbols representative of each value which students are currently in the process of power carving into cedar planks. The power tools used in the project are provided by Bosch Canada and Dremel USA.
PRAC thanks its supporters
