The main street of Sutton will be well-lit this holiday season.<\/p>\n
Patsy Van Roost, artist in residence at D\u2019Arts de R\u00eaves, is displaying her latest project \u2014 \"A Tale in the Window\" \u2014 through light boxes in the windows of local businesses.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a tale that was written by two writers here in Sutton, with the help of the kids at the Sutton school, as well as some seniors from town,\u201d said Natasha Evoy, communications and assistant coordinator at D\u2019Arts de R\u00eaves.<\/p>\n
The tale is based on the history of Sutton and the reality of living there today. Van Roost collaborated with Grade 5 and 6 students at both the French and English schools, local seniors and the LaRoche family, who are known locally for their singing.<\/p>\n
The tale is told through an advent calendar. Behind each door of the advent calendar is an address and that address leads to the business where a window will light up that night.<\/p>\n
\u201cEach day a sentence of the tale will light up in a light box,\u201d said Evoy.<\/p>\n
The first window lit up on Dec. 1 and the last one will light Dec. 24. The story is slowly piecing together and will remain lit in Sutton windows, in its entirety, until Jan. 3.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe artist Patsy had actually done a similar project in Montreal back in 2014 I believe it was in a way she was kind of on her own on Christmas and she was trying to find a way to bring people together and outside of their homes to celebrate as a community rather than each person in their own homes,\u201d said Evoy.<\/p>\n
This project was designed so everyone can view it from outside, at their own convenience, at safe distance during the pandemic.<\/p>\n
\u201cA Tale in the Window\u201d is striving to \u201cbreak the isolation and bring people together,\u201d Evoy said.<\/p>\n
