Call: Saskatoon Pride Festival seeks performers!

Subject: Entertainer? Artist? Saskatoon Pride Festival Wants YOU to
Spice up the Fair!

We here at Saskatoon Diversity Network are busy as bees organizing the
2007 Pride Festival!

Do you have the entertaining spirit? Are you an artist? A clown? An
acrobat? We want you to show it off! We want buskers, artists plying
their trade and doing on the spots sketches (like caricature but what
ever you want), or doing body painting or walking around juggling or
whatever you desire!

The Pride Festival Fair is on Saturday, June 16th and most of the
events will take place after the Parade, which starts at noon. The
fair is an outdoor evet, featuring a main entertainment stage, vendor,
information and food booths including beer gardens. Of course we want
YOU in the parade too! I want as much activity going on at the fair as
possible and I think you can help!

Please, ask me any questions, email me! info@saskatoonpride.ca

Cheers,
Chris

Call: Ottawa Family Services seeking artists to work with children from LGBTA families

February 15, 2007

Family Services à la famille Ottawa is a non-profit agency that
provides counseling, education, and support to individuals, couples,
families, and the community.

Currently, we are working together with the gay, lesbian, bi, trans,
two spirit, and questioning (glbttq) community to support the inclusion
of children from glbttq families in childcare services, early childhood
centres, and elementary schools. The project is called Around the
Rainbow and is funded by Human Resources and Development Canada.

Community artists will play an invaluable role in this project. There
are many opportunities for artists to facilitate the creation of art,
in all forms, to express the beauty of diverse family. Artists are
invited to share their vision(s) of diverse family by facilitating a
community art activity. Though the focus throughout the project is on
gay, lesbian, bi, trans, two-spirit, and queer families with children
ages 0-6, the project also celebrates all families in our community.
We are open to any and all creative, innovative ideas you have for one
to three hour workshops, and hope that you will submit a proposal to us
outlining your background, areas of expertise, ideas, and a proposed
budget. We’ll use the proposals to match artists with different
community sites, as needs arise.

Your participation and input will ensure the success of Around the
Rainbow. If we work together, we will ensure that all our children
live in an inclusive, safe and welcoming community.

Please contact Marika directly to indicate your interest in this
project. You will receive a follow up call promptly. Thank you!

In Community,
