Susan M. Bulman (Shester) – Multimedia Artist

“When I moved to Kenora 8 years ago I was pleased to see there was an opportunity to get involved in a community organization that supported the arts. I was involved on the board and as a volunteer for most of this time. As well I participated in the festivals where I had an opportunity to show and sell my art as well as enjoying the talent of others. It is wonderful to see that LOWAC has a strong direction once again with dedicated new board members – and an important connection to the new Douglas Family Art Centre. I am happy to support the growth of the Art community in Kenora with a financial contribution to LOWAC. “

Susan Glass – Supporter

“I choose to support because the arts (visual and performing) can be the heart of any community. Just look at what the new Douglas Family Arts Centre has done for Kenora!”
