Letter: Thanks, Mark, for ‘grand’ event

The Editor, I take my hat off to Mark Glavina, the owner of Phoenix Art Workshop in Steveston. Once again, he was the drive and impetus behind organizing Steveston’s 4th annual Grand Prix of Art last month.

The Editor,

I take my hat off to Mark Glavina, the owner of Phoenix Art Workshop in Steveston. Once again, he was the drive and impetus behind organizing Steveston’s 4th annual Grand Prix of Art last month.

I doubt many of us realize what goes into making such an event a reality, but you can imagine the hours and commitment it must take with so many logistics to put in place.  Mark has galvanized our community and brought us together four times now to share the sheer joy of watching over a hundred of our local artists create captivating scenes of our beloved Steveston. 

The popularity of this event can be witnessed by the ever-growing numbers of people who flock to Steveston to watch and encourage our artists as they capture an endless array of images depicting historic Steveston.

Mark, you have made a truly remarkable contribution to your community!
