Jazz fest '09

The art farm was out in full force on a sunny saturday in June for the annual Gibsons Jazz Festival.  With help from Pablo Velez, a new art farm member extraordinaire, and the donated tents from Paramount Productions, Creative Director Sandy Buck assembled an art farm tent replete with poetry installation, fabric and banner while Curator Diego Samper created a flying installation with bamboo, rocks, leather and a fabric bird dancing in the wind.  It was a magical day.  Sandy's new puppet Groove made a couple appearances and the music was spectacular - including local band"The Rakish Angles", whose stand-up bass player, Boyd Norman, day-lights as the art farm accountant.
