ARTS AND CULTURE AWARD 2016

Monday, May 30th I was very proud and honoured to receive the
Arts & Cultural Award from the Town of Aurora.
The award was presented by Councillor Jeff Thom.
Inspired by the Johnson’s family, this award is presented to an individual or group that has made significant contribution to the enhancement of the community through support or promotion of culture, music, visual, performing or literary arts.
(From the Town of Aurora program)
Christine Valentini has been a resident of Aurora since 1987 .
She has been an asset to both our town and the Aurora arts community. Christine has painted numerous architectural landmarks within our town.
Participating actively in both cultural and artistic life within our community, Christine is a proud participant at many public and juried art exhibitions where she has won numerous awards. She helped to create and remains a volunteer and Director off the all Aurora Artist Studio Tour.
Each year, Christine opens her studio to the public, so they can learn more about her art, ask questions and learn new techniques Christine gives her time to other artists in our town and is an mentor to many.
