About Us
WHO IS ARTS ON THE FLY,
ANYWAY?
Arts on the Fly began as a typical small town
'everyone knows
everyone else's
business'
scenario. A
couple of
friends would
run into each
other at a local
Horsefly hotspot
and share their
visions of an
event which
would both
promote tourism
in the area and
fulfill their
zeal for All
Things
Creative.
Through similar
conversations
with other
locals a common
thread was
woven, and a
meeting was
called.
List of original
Arts on the Fly
members:
Chanti Holtl,
Cindy Isaac,
Klara Henz, Dina
Stephenson, Dora
Gasser, Carmen
Mutschele, Taina
Sipponen,
Christina Mary,
Corinne
Stromsten.
They worked
diligently. How
did they manage,
with 19 young
children among
them? Kudos to
all of you!

some new ones joined.

'Our fearless carpenter
Charlie Bland (Director),
arrives for a meeting. Looks
as if he could make some
improvements on the old
woodshed behind him!'

Arts on the Fly went under the umbrella of the William's Lake
Arts Council in order to
connect with a
well-established non-profit
organization, for networking
purposes and to share their
non-profit status.
Fundraisers consisted
of coffeehouse events, phone
calls and handouts of the
'beggar letter'. Their
cause was advertised on CBC
radio as well as a
local station, in the
newspaper and on
television. With the
support of caring
volunteers, a large stage
was constructed. There
were many jobs for the few
Arts on the Fly members.
Countless tasks!
Thank you to everyone who
lent a helping hand or two!
By July 2006 the Horsefly
School grounds were
transformed into Festival
grounds. ARTS
ON THE FLY 2006,
was launched! It was a
success! What started out
as Horsefly chitchat among
locals, which grew in its
intensity of
passion, blossomed into
fruition. The vision had
become the reality.
