| This
annual multidisciplinary event is produced by the
Nature Consortium and is nestled in the forested arms of Camp
Long (5200 35th
Ave. SW at SW Dawson St.). The 2007 Festival took place on Sat. August 25h
(from 11am-9pm) and Sun. Aug. 26th (from 11am-6pm). A silent auction was held during the festival to raise funds for the Nature Consortium. Performances took place in 5 different venues throughout the park: the Lodge, the forested grove by the Pond, the climbing Glacier, the Meadow and the Fire Circle. There was a wide array of eclectic and traditional music offerings ranging from experimental & improvised to classical, jazz and folk. Dance troupes performed in various locations throughout the park, and wandering musicians playfully roamed the forested landscape between the cabins Camp Long’s rustic cabins housed the "museum of sound" where artists took up residency for the weekend creating multidisciplinary installations that blended sound, auditory arts, music and visual arts. Most of the cabins had an interactive, hands-on component, allowing attendees to enter and interact with the artists' work. This year’s Museum of Sound artists included Kristen Tollefson, Perri Lynch, Mark Griswold, Martyn Stewart, Dave Knott, John Browne, Jr. and Matthew Snyder. There were lots of interactive and hands-on activities such as EcoArt and EcoRhythm Instrument Building workshops in the Interactive Arts/Family-Kids area. In addition, there was healthy, delicious food & drink by Vashon-based Tahini Genie. With a serious commitment to conservation, all festival marketing materials were printed on tree-free paper made from the kenaf plant. Admission was by donation ~ $5.00 per person.
