If you are in Castlegar you need to go down to Pioneer Arena and check out the amazing sand sculptures produced in this years Castlegar Sculpture Walk: Sandsations walk.
They are amazing! I look at them and envy the skill used to make such incredible mounds of art. I kept an eye on the process a couple of weekends ago when the artists were creating their works and the process is simply extraordinary.
Growing up on the East Coast (in Nova Scotia) I never was even able to work out the process to make the perfect sandcastle with a mold. I cannot imagine the time, effort and skill used to make these masterpieces.
I have never seen sand made into art in such an impressive fashion. I saw some incredible pieces of work while in Nelson in Canada Day too, does everyone in the Kootenays know the secret to sandsculpting?
John McKinnon, Peter Vogelaar, Denis Kleine and David Ducharme know the sand secret, that is for sure. They have mastered this year's theme 'Fairy Tales', each work is an adventure into another world where the mystical and magical can happen. You must make a trip down to Pioneer Arena and see these incredible pieces of art this summer!
