Yesterday
we had one of those moments that Sharon and I hoped for all those ago
when we began to imagine what the Market would be.
Along with creating a
unique, inspiring space for the world to connect with the art created
in sight of the Salish Sea, we wanted to create a community of artists
that wanted to become part of something larger than they were
individually.
Serendipitously, many artists came to see us at
the same time yesterday, and it was the COOLEST thing to see four or
five of them standing in a circle - exchanging with, and honouring each other.
At one point, one of our more experienced artists was
coaching and encouraging a younger artist to stretch herself and become
more of who she can be. Better still, the coaching and encouragement was
welcomed with open arms. No competition. No egos. Just generosity and
connection. At that moment, I had tears in my eyes - and I was grateful
to watch it unfold.
