Papergirl comes to Cool Arts

"Papergirl" Sarah Parsons shares her storybook illustrations with Cool Arts
Something very exciting is happening on October 15th at the Rotary Centre for the Arts. What do you get when you combine creativity with random acts of kindness??? You get "Papergirl" a global event that is seeing its second year in Kelowna. Papergirl spokeswoman Sarah Parsons has brought this event from to Kelowna from Germany where it all began. Creatively inspired individuals create works that will go on display at the Rotary Centre, and then are randomly delivered to individuals throughout the community. To learn more about how you can get involved go to Papergirl Kelowna via  http://papergirlkelowna.blogspot.com/
