Why not take yourself to the Fringe this weekend

What is the Victoria Fringe?

The Victoria Fringe Theatre Festival is one of the oldest Fringe Festivals in Canada! Intrepid Theatre hosts the festival, which features over 55 productions from all over the world in various venues in downtown Victoria. Tickets are cheep-cheep, and volunteering is a huge part of this fun, awesome community event.

The international theatre companies that participate in the Fringe are selected by lottery – that’s right, we draw them out of a hat! The deadline to apply to the Fringe lottery for 2013 will be mid-January. Those companies prepare and produce their shows, and bring them to the festival ready to be seen by an audience. Interested in applying next year?

The Fringe Festival movement is more than 30 years old in Canada, and there are dozens of Fringe Festivals across Canada and the US. Want to know more about the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals (CAFF) and where you can find more Fringe Festivals in North America? Click Here>>

The Victoria Fringe is a non-juried festival of alternative theatre from around the world. We do not produce, select, or judge the content of artistic merit of shows at the Fringe. That judgment is up to you. If you like a show, support the artists you’ve enjoyed by telling others – and they might return with another great show next year. Not every show gets reviewed in the paper, so ask around and take a chance on the unexpected. You might just see something that will change your life!

Happy BC Day!

Just a little reminder of the amazing place the people in this downtown Victoria hotel call home and our visitors have come to see.   We are here to help you put your BC adventure together so be sure to chat with any of us.  We are happy to help.   Happy BC day.

 


I heard someone say it is to hot out there today

We do have air conditioning at the Chateau Victoria but if you are without AC, perhaps this will cool you off.  Enjoy!

 

 

For the people who know our city, a snow day like the video is rare just like the heat you might feel on this BC day long weekend.


Keith Levang is our Artist in Residence

Posted in Art By mark

Please join us in welcoming Keith as he adds colour and warmth to our lobby for the month of August. You can see Keith and other Victoria Artists throughout downtown Victoria hotels in August as part of Artishow Victoria.  The Chateau Victoria is one of five hotels in Victoria participating.

Keith was born and raised in Vancouver, BC and now reside on Vancouver Island where he is  fully engaged in the visual arts and painting full time.   He exhibits his work mostly on Vancouver Island, Vancouver & Metro Vancouver.

“My representational style of painting allows me to present the subject faithfully while maintaining the feel and look of a painting, rather than a photograph.  My approach is to concentrate on the relationship between light & shadow within a strong composition.”

‘I try to capture a specific moment in time, one that recalls a familiar place, memory or feeling. I have spent my life on the Canadian West Coast.  The images of the sea, shoreline, mountains and  occasionally, boats & buildings, are the ones which inspire me to want to preserve that familiarity on canvas.’
