ON THE COVER
The front cover of this year’s Holiday EXPLORER features
the picturesque winter view of Granville Ferry shot from Annapolis
Royal. This stunning photo perfectly captures this year’s creative
“Artfelt Christmas” theme.
It was taken by Ryan Scranton, Executive Director of the
Annapolis Heritage Society. Former curator at the Canadian Ski
Museum and a graduate of the Applied Museum Studies
Program at Algonquin College of Applied Arts and Technology,
Ryan has been instrumental in presenting the heritage and beauty
of the Annapolis Royal Area through his stunning photography,
polished writing style and the many activities he coordinates for
the Annapolis Heritage Society.
You can enjoy more of Ryan’s beautiful photography on his
rgsheritage photostream at www.Flickr.com, and don’t miss his
entertaining Annapolis Royal Heritage Blog available online at
http://www.annapolisroyalheritage.blogspot.ca. The image of
our Explorer was provided by Parks Canada.
The back cover showcases the popular Victorian Christmas at
the O’Dell House Museum which Ryan coordinates for the
Annapolis Heritage Society. It is one of Annapolis Royal’s longest
running and most beloved holiday traditions. Dates for 2012 include
Ryan Scranton - Executive Director Nov. 30, Dec. 1, Dec. 7 & 8 from 7-9 pm and Dec. 2 & Dec. 9, 2-4 pm.

ARTFELT GREETINGS
“An Artfelt Christmas” is the
perfect theme as the region has
been steeped in rich artistic
tradition dating back over 10,000
years to the Mi’kmaq First Nations
people. The European influence
began over four centuries ago as the
Area became the seat of Canada’s
first enduring European settlement.
Today the Annapolis Royal
Area is home to numerous artists
involved in all of the arts
disciplines including visual arts,
crafts, performing arts and literary
arts. The region continues to evolve
and flourish attracting many
creative artists and art aficionados
of all ages.
ARCAC,the Annapolis
Region Community Arts Council,
is one of the Cultural Centres in the
province designated by Nova
Scotia Department of Tourism &
Culture. It helps coordinate arts
resources and operates ARTsPLACE,
an artist-run gallery, open year
‘round. 532-7069 or www.arcac.ca.
Seasons Greetings,
I hope you will have an opportunity to come visit Annapolis Royal
over the holidays. From our family to yours, we wish you a very
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
