5th Annual Festival of Art

The Hants County Arts Council is currently planning it's 5th Annual Festival of Art in Windsor, and here at Flying Cloud we are thrilled to be one of the event sponsors.


This year's festival will occur between September 30th - October 2nd as a part of Culture Days and is open to all Nova Scotian artists. 




This year sees the event moving to the Vaughn Shand center (former Hawboldt's building), a gorgeous open space that allows for even more artists to be represented.

Grand Opening and First Summer Party!

On July 23^rd we had our Grand Opening and our first of hopefully many summer parties here at Flying Cloud Boutique!

Artists Jaki Durocher of Inspire Arts School, along with other Hants County Arts Council members Carlos Da Rosa and Dora Davis, worked some magic with their paint brushes creating a beautiful mural of the Blomidon cliffs on our garage doors (on what turned out to be the hottest day yet this season - bless their hearts for sticking it out) 

Local artist (and I mean local – she lives just down the road!) Patricia Dillon was set-up in the shade with an assortment of supplies teaching our visitors how to create their own beaded mosaics. As a surprise she presented me with a beaded portrait of Sylvia! Just amazing – I love it!

No good party is without music, and Christina Martin with her usual charm and wit delighted us with some new stories and tunes, creating an entertaining atmosphere for all in attendance.

One of Flying Cloud's own, photographer John McCarthy, got a few great shots of Christina serenading us - one of which you can see on his website

We had many local visitors and Nova Scotian artists stop by throughout the day helping us to celebrate the coming together of so many talented people.  It was a festive event overall and I look forward to planning an even bigger and better anniversary party next summer!
