Art Festivals and such

This semester's assignment is to plan an arts biennale, a trifle really.  It seems an undo-able task but fortunately we are working as a group and the load is shared.  I heard some friends talk about Winterlude, an annual festival in Ottawa, Ontario and Gatineau, Quebec.  Of course, Ottawa has the advantage of having a winter with very low temperatures and consequently snow and ice, i.e. the 7.8 km Rideau Canal Skateway.  We, on the other hand, at the southern edge of the Southern Hemisphere can boast of a milder winter and the unique DARK MOFO, an arts festival that celebrates the dark - and the light - at and around the winter solstice.

Perhaps we can bring the Winterlude to our city as a prelude to DARK MOFO?  Swedish-style Ice hotel?
