Artist Chris Bennett is working on a fun, collaborative version of  #myhappyplaceproject and
 she needs our help. Where's your happy place? It can be anywhere or 
anything? Quiet nights at the cottage, walks on your favourite beach, 
listening to your favourite music - we'd love to know!  
 Here's the BIG IDEA:Chris will be here this Thursday as part of our ART
 IS EVERYTHING series,to talk about her happy place project this 
Thursday, Aug. 10, from 12-2:30 pm. 
Chris will write everyone's submission 
in the artful handmade book she has created.She will then place the book
 in the box and leave it in a public place on Thursday afternoon for 
someone to find. Fun, right? The world needs to know now, more than 
ever, where all the best happy places are. (see the photo above for what
 the actual piece will look like)
