Fashion and Art at AI Global Gallery

The Art Institute of Vancouver held its Fashion Design & Merchandising fashion show at Red Robinson Theatre yesterday. The show called “AI Global Gallery” celebrated AI graduates’ diversity and cultural influences. Beautiful illustrations provided the backdrop images to the theater setting.  I was happy to see that Arts Umbrella also participated in the show. For 30 years, Arts Umbrella provided visual and performing arts education for children and youth in Vancouver. The month of October is Arts Umbrella Month in the City of Vancouver. I recognized amongst the dancers a few familiar faces from On the Move conference in Vancouver earlier in January, where Arts Umbrella was one of the organizations involved in the DTRC conference. The boundaries of Fashion and Art are blurring and sharing a common ground.

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
