The olympics these days are not just about watching sporting events, they have added in the element of the arts to the games. Now I think i'd you were sitting at home watching the olympics on tv you would think I was crazy, the arts at the olympics? But living in a town that us hosting the olympics I have noticed how the arts play a huge roal in the full Olympic experience.
In Vancouver they have a huge amount of arts happening around the games. They are having 65 days of the culturial Olympiad around Vancouver showcasing hundreds of artist from around Canada. Vancouver is an amazing place right now to find canada's best dancers, play writes, actors, painters, aborigional artests and Canadian music. In whistler we don't have as much but we are small and trying.
Tonight I got to experience the free music that is happening every night in whistler when they are giving out the gold medals each night. Each night they represent a different province with a musical guest, tonight it was Ontario night with Fiest playing in whistler and barenaked ladies in Vancouver. There is so much free music happening around town it's hard to keep it all stright.
So as I'm enjoying all the events and sport around town I also live the fact that we are getting to show the world are artsy side!
