This gala gives our community the opportunity to showcase the diverse talents of arts and culture groups in our region as well as show off the related facilities that we enjoy. Our 5-day festival will feature numerous displays and performances with the highlight being the Arts Awards Gala on Saturday, May 26, when three Alberta nominees will be recognized for excellence in their field. On behalf of the Organizing Committee and a host of volunteers, we welcome you to our celebration as we present the “Arts Without Borders Festival”, the first of which will become an annual event. Sincerely, Vic Juba, Chair The Arts Without Borders Festival stimulates an environment that promotes Arts for everyone, everyday, and everywhere! Our Festival articulates the individual and public value of the Arts, and engenders public ownership of this value, thus enhancing the quality of life in the Lloydminster region. Stories written and told with passion and wit entrance an audience. Wonderfully crafted and arresting images of beauty, courage and triumph make a lasting impression. Informal discussions about the ideas presented are as engaging as the works themselves. Arts Without Borders truly appreciates the financial support we receive from our sponsors, local businesses and community partners. Our 5-day Arts Festival would not be possible without their support. Our volunteers are our best asset and we thank them for their commitment to making the festival a success. Their willingness to give their time and energy at the festival is greatly appreicated. We cannot thank them enough! Celebrate the world of creativity by participating in the many inspiring events which are a part of this local festival!

May 23 7:00 p.m. Crown Ballroom – Best Western Wayside Inn Free Admission – Everyone Welcome Join Todd Babiak for a community wide book discussion!

Lloydminster Reads! will be facilitated by Dave Reynolds, Regional Consultant/SAP Inventory Specialist, Alberta Indigo. Dave is knowledgeable and enthusiastic to be in Lloydminster and to promote and celebrate regional authors. The Garneau Block, as reviewed by Anne McDermid and Associates, has been touted as “a subtly satirical look at modern life, the story follows a cast of colourful characters in a small neighbourhood in Edmonton - in oil rich Alberta. Three weeks after a violent death among them, the residents of the Garneau Block discover mysterious signs on all of their trees. It is a call to escape the shadow of the death and they will learn to save their homes from destruction. The Garneau Block is a warm and hilarious satire, a mystery and a romance. The residents of the block, a secretly pregnant travel agent with a master’s degree specializing in the haiku, her politically opposed parents, the best actor of his generation, a philosopher of death and his sweet, deluded wife endeavour to transform the Garneau Block, the city, and their lives.” “The Garneau Block not only is funny, it’s sophisticated and hokey at the same time - the very essence of Edmonton, fermented, bottled and best served with crackers and brie.” - The Gazette (Montreal) The Garenau Block is available at Cole’s in the LloydMall, the Lloydminster Public Library, and at this event. Todd Babiak is an author, journalist and screen- writer. His first novel, Choke Hold, won the Henry Kreisel Award for best first book and was a finalist for the Rogers Writers Trust Fiction Prize. He is a Praxis Fellow and not long ago, he was voted Lord Mayor of Old Strathcona. He is culture columnist for the Edmonton Journal and is currently writing in the editorial pages of the Journal. The Garneau Block was long listed for the Giller Prize and short listed for the Alberta Literary Award. His third novel, The Book of Stanley, will be released this year and has been serialized in the Journal. 6 LITERARY ARTS Writer’s Room It’s Your Turn!
