THE 2008 LUMIÈRE FESTIVAL – Saturday August 9th
Lumière 2008 poster
Lumière has engaged Vicki Wong & Michael Murphy of
MEOMI (http://www.meomi.com) to design the Lumière 2008
poster.
MEOMI is dedicated to the creation of compelling visual experiences
and narratives. They create work for numerous mediums and strongly
believe in design that delights, entices, and inspires.
MEOMI is Vicki Wong (Vancouver) and Michael Murphy (LA). MEOMI’s
artwork has been featured in numerous illustration and design
books, while their characters have appeared on clothing, toys,
merchandise, and magazines worldwide. MEOMI has created art for
such clients as Google, Electronic Arts, Girls Inc., Time Out
Magazine, Cyworld, Nick Jr., Bang-on Clothing, and CBC4Kids.
Besides client work, MEOMI also moonlights as the authors and
illustrators behind the Octonauts children book series.
MEOMI’s most exciting project has been to create Miga, Quatchi
& Sumi - the new mascots they designed for the Vancouver 2010
Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games!
Allumez Vanier/Light Up Vanier
For the fifth anniversary of the Lumière Festival, the
CCCC has applied for project funding for a project that will strengthen
ties with the French speaking community in Vanier through workshops
and French promotional materials.
The CCCC will initiate collaborative partnerships with Vanier
community organizations to plan and produce lantern workshops
and other community building activities. The product of these
activities will enrich the Lumière Festival and strengthen
the CCCC relationship with community partners.
JARS
Please save your glass jars for us. We will take any size of jars
that have been cleaned and that have the labels removed. Baby
food jars are especially useful!
BATTERIES
As the festival grows and the lanterns get larger we made a decision
last year to stop using candlelight in large lanterns to ensure
our event remains safe. Most of the installations are now lit
with battery operated LED flashlights. We are eager to collect
RECHARCHABLE batteries and battery rechargers. Donations of these
items will considerably cut festival production expenses and allow
us to strive towards a green event. To donate these items please
call Joanne at 613-745-2742
