Art Odyssey 2009 Port Vila, Vanuatu

One full moon, 38 artists, 14 performers and 200+ art pieces...Art Odyssey 2009 in Port Vila (the capital of Vanuatu) was a magical evening.Morgan (Vanuatu native) and Jani (Peace Corps Volunteer) put in a tremendous amount of energy and time organizing and planning the event...inviting local artists (which includes jewelry and other mixed media) to participate. Our youngest artist being 5 year old Freiya.
I arrived the week of the event to help out and it was hectic but of course I relished in all the planning...I was in heaven. I am missing so many pictures but we had some amazing performers from singing, monologues, poetry reading, karate, juggling and drum circle...it was otherworldly. Ben's freestyle rap with drum circle accompaniment was unbelievable.

Done. And Art Odyssey 2010 to be announced.
