Over 30
artists are in Hampton this weekend creating tiny works of art — they're
taking part in Bloomin' Artists, a biennial fundraiser for the town's
John Peters Humphrey Foundation.
Participating artist Alison Murphy tells us there are six gardens open for the artists to take inspiration from.
They'll create their works of art in the garden, and the public is
welcome to watch them work. The art itself will be small enough to fit
inside a 12-inch pizza box.
The
viewing of the finished art takes place at the Lighthouse River Centre
at 1075 Main Street starting on both Saturday and Sunday at 11:30am with
auctions at 2pm and 4:30pm.
This year, the John Peters Humphrey Foundation contributed funds towards a Hemmings House film about Humphrey called The Boy Who Was Bullied, a documentary about the human rights advocate. The film premiered on CBC Atlantic earlier this month.
