SPAC NEWS

Time to Join SPAC!

Membership registration for 2025 is now open. To join SPAC, click this link and complete the online registration form.

Deep Cove Folk is looking for someone to create an image that will front its new e-songbook: Saanich Songs: An Anthology of Songs About Life on the Saanich Peninsula and Environs.  This is a collection of “songs of place” about the Saanich Peninsula which you can see and hear songproject.deepcovefolk.ca/2024-song-book.  

This preliminary draft contains ten songs, but there are as many again “in the hopper” just waiting to be added, and more on the way.  The creator of the selected image will receive an honourarium of $500 as well as the opportunity to participate in other creative projects as Deep Cove Folk’s song project evolves.  For further details please go to songproject.deepcovefolk.ca/call-for-artwork.
