Our final message…
Nothing lasts forever and having the pandemic arrive 2 days before and cancel our 4th festival was the end of the road for us. Sorting everything out in the aftermath has taken some time due to the pandemic and now we are finally able to publicly say goodbye.
We had a fantastic 3 festivals hosting incredible artists from Spain on the Winspear Centre stage. We enjoyed so many bright moments of workshops, community outreach, fundraiser performances and flashmobs. We overcame some incredible obstacles and celebrated some stunning moments with the help of our amazing coordinators, volunteers, donors, sponsors, partners, funders and Board members.
We had the privilege of working with some wonderful photographers; videographers; graphic designers; PR teams; artist managers; theatre technicians; floor builders; dance studios; local schools; travel agents; the incredible staff at the Winspear; dancers, singers, musicians, and teachers from our local and national community … the list goes on and on. It has been an amazing ride.
We are so grateful to everyone that supported us from the moment we began planning in 2015 to just this past week as we finished editing the video from our 2019 festival. Our website and social media remain as an archive of everything we accomplished.
Thank you and goodbye…
