The Oakville Painting Studio participated last Sunday in the 6th For the Love of arts Festival in the Town of Oakville.

It was a full day of exciting shows from dance, music, crafts and arts from almost all the non-for-profit organizations in Town.

I would also like to acknowledge Paula, who not only has demonstrated to be one of the most prolific painting students, but also an excellent dancer. She participated in the folkloric dances from Mexico and colombia with the group Jomab. The day was really exciting and a great opportunity to share the cultural experience with all the other Groups in Town. You can see her dancing in this link,
