| Nestled in the heart of Mountain View County in sunny Alberta lies the beautiful community of Didsbury. Didsburians were very proud to represent the province as the only Host Celebration Site between Airdrie and Red Deer during Alberta Arts Days 2011. Visitors were treated to an incredible showcase of the arts and culture that is found in Central Alberta ... specifically Didsbury and Mountain View County! And we're doing it again in 2012 -- bigger and better than ever! We'll be celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, one of the most beloved patrons of the arts in the world. This year we are excited to move our festival to the beautiful Rosebud River Valley in Didsbury. Our Artisan Village will be front and centre, featuring visual artwork from all across Central Alberta. Plus, we have a very special event for our artists - a 2-day plein air workshop, "Paint Outdoors with Rick Berg"! And of course, there will be music and dancing, a very special book launch at the Library, an Art Through Time art show for our young people at the Museum, and all sorts of special Jubilee surprises and artsy activities for you to join in. Watch for details closer to the festival, and mark September 15 & 16 on your calendar today!
