We have an active ‘fringe’ program including our popular Music at
Noon Series at Trinity Church, outdoor concerts in our new River Mill
Park bandshell, and an Urban Arts Day Festival titled ‘Back Street’. Nuit
Blanche North will be returning next year along with celebrations for
Canada’s 150 year anniversary.
We thank you once again for your continued support of the arts which allows us to present these concerts
as well as opportunities for youth scholarships in the arts and school programs. We couldn’t do it without
all of our sponsors, patrons and volunteers. I also want to thank our very active and dedicated Board of
Directors and General Manager who work hard behind the scenes. Their many talents, passion for the arts,
and creative ideas play a big role in determining what the Festival brings to the community.
We hope that you will all enjoy the upcoming season. Your continued support is an important part of
making us successful .
Karen Cassian, President
Huntsville Festival of the Arts
MAYOR’S MESSAGE
I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the Huntsville Festival of
the Arts for its’ continued contributions to our community. The Town of
Huntsville has the good fortune of having such a strong arts, culture and heritage focus that helps make this such a sought after program. I eagerly look
forward to the twenty-fourth season here in our great town.
Our community enjoys so many great artists throughout the season thanks
to the efforts of the Festival. Our Algonquin Theatre and other wonderful
venues host local talent, as well as the best of Canadian talent, to entertain
our residents and guests alike.
I would be remiss if I did not personally recognize the efforts of the volunteers and staff that make the Huntsville Festival of the Arts the wonderful success that it is. Without all of the
support the Festival would not be possible. So to all of you, a heartfelt thank you!
Please join me in supporting the Festival for another exciting season!

CHILDREN’S PERFORMANCES
2016 FESTIVAL ARTIST
CATHERINE LUCE
Exploring dreams, the fantastical and the slightly surreal are
elements that keep me engaged with painting and sculpture.
The Friends of the Library provide entertaining and educational performers in
partnership with the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 232 during summer months.
I enjoy creating visual stories with interesting characters both human and animal.
The wilderness and wildlife around Muskoka are inspirations for this work and my
landscape paintings. I enjoy playing piano and singing and often paint to classical
music. I aspire to capture the rhythms, emotions and movement found in music in
my artwork.
TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE IN ADVANCE AT THE LIBRARY OR AT THE DOOR ON PERFORMANCE DAY.
Cost: $3 per person
Location: The Huntsville Legion
SPEAKING OF WILDLIFE
SCIENSATIONAL SNAKES
Wednesday, July 6 @ 11:00 am
Have the opportunity to encounter some of Ontario’s
magnificent wild creatures and gain a better appreciation for the wildlife around us. Meet five different
animals and learn about adaptations, social structure,
habits and environmental threats affecting each of
the creatures.
The show features an informal lecture about
snakes, their ecology and conservation issues as
well as a session in which participants are able to
interact, touch and hold the animals.
Little Red Theatre presents Ivy Green:
GUARDIAN OF THE FOREST
The play Ivy Green teaches how to be stewards of the
forest. The Eco-play addresses the issues of forest
protection and introduces reduce, re-use and recycle in
a fun musical way. This show helps us to value Mother
Nature to give us a greater understanding of our roles
in the future.affecting each of the creatures.
THE INCREDIBRENT SHOW
A one man magic and comedy show that delivers
big laughs and incredible energy! A variety of
magic that often includes volunteers. Kids go
crazy for the physical comedy, while adults are
thrilled by the clever wit and magical skill.
To Be Determined Theatre presents
THE BALLOON TREE
Wednesday, August 3 @ 11:00 am
Leap from reality into a Renaissance inspired
fairytale as we follow Princess Leora on a magical
adventure through her village in search for the
one object that will save her - a balloon. Up
against her evil uncle, the Archduke, she sets off
on a whimsical journey filled with secret passage
ways, wizards, magic spells, and of course lots of
balloons!
Supported by the Friends of the Library and held at the Huntsville Legion at 21 Veterans Way.
For questions, please visit the Virtual Library huntsvillelibrary.ca or call 705-789-5232.
My creative endeavours have included working as a graphic designer and illustrator,
painting wildlife murals in a Nature Centre and teaching illustration and art workshops to children. I have had the challenge of creating commissions for Nuit Blanche
North for three years, including large papier maché sculptures and designing
puppets and performing a musical Marionette Show with my kids. I have illustrated
for Muskoka Rock Choir and was North Words Literary Festival Artist for 2013. I show
and sell my work at Mystical Woods Studio, my home studio in Huntsville, various
Huntsville Art Society shows, Cobblestone Gallery in Waterloo and online at
catherineluce.com.
ABOUT THE WORK
Being asked to create a painting for the HFA
was very exciting as I knew I could be imaginative and combine my love of music and the
outdoors. I wanted to convey the magic and
excitement of bringing world class musicians
to Huntsville. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if we
could gather them all up and bring them here
“Muskoka Style” in a red canoe? A flying canoe?
Why not? I then set out making interesting
characters from around the world in a dream
like setting. Hope you enjoy my image for this
year’s Festival.

Some songs grab you right away, while others sink in over

Beyond the immediate hooks – the vivid imagery, the

stories of loss and love from two distinct perspectives, and
