We are very excited this year to have been invited by Annick Press to celebrate Paper Bag Princess Day! They have been partnering with schools, organizations, libraries & stores since 2023 to share the joy of Robert Munsch and his classic children's story, The Paper Bag Princess. Artshine loves celebrating Canadian artists and storytellers and we continue to be inspired by their incredible work.
Artshine wants to highlight this year's theme with loud enthusiasm as it is a message that's important to young artists everywhere: This year’s theme, DARE TO BE BRAVE, celebrates courage in the face of adversity, just like Elizabeth in The Paper Bag Princess. When her castle is destroyed and the prince is captured by a dragon, Elizabeth does not give up. She faces challenges head on, outsmarts the dragon, and stays true to herself. Her bravery shows that even when life throws obstacles our way, having the courage to act and stand up for ourselves can lead to triumph.
