Ice Follies 2012

February 18th - March 10th, 2012

 

Theme: Anaamimikom: Under the Surface

Under the Surface was chosen because it represents the efforts behind the scenes to make Ice Follies 2012 more community-oriented and engaging. With artists travelling from across the country to work alongside of local artists, community members, and coordinators we hope to present a unique arts experience on Lake Nipissing that everyone can enjoy.
