May 15th, 2008: Lora Art Activities

The Salba Nos Lora art competition was a great success.  There were over 100 pieces of art in a variety of media including glass, wood, canvas, fabric as well as many on paper. The entries were divided into categories by age. There were three youth categories, the youngest being 10 years and under, the next 11 to 14 and the oldest 15 to 18 years. Adults and photography were the other categories. There were between two and four prize winners per category depending on the number of entries and those winners got to choose which of the many fantastic prizes they wanted. All but one prize was donated and Salba Nos Lora would like to thank

-their many sponsors.  

- : Bonaire Dive and Adventure, Kiteboarding Bonaire, Jibe City, Outdoor Bonaire, Land sailing Bonaire, Jerry Ligon Bird Tours, Bonaire Motorcycle Shop, The Bonaire Bikers, Chat ‘n’ Browse, Pasa Bon Pizza and Mangazina Di Rei.

This year Salba Nos Lora had a stall on Rincon day and the top art from the competition was displayed. There was also information on the stall about the wild loras, the care of pet loras and about the foundation itself. Many people stopped in to have a look at the artwork or to ask parrot questions with the Salba Nos Lora crew on hand. Later in the day having recovered somewhat from their morning run to Rincon, the parrot team donned the incredible Bonaire Warehouse costumes. Immediately things were different, so many more people noticed the stall, kids and adults alike wanted their picture taken with the animals and stickers were being given out to anyone that would take one. The parrot team know not of fatigue!

The artwork events were not over. The following Saturday Salba Nos Lora held a fundraising Art Auction at Captain Don’s Habitat. A few technical hitches early on gave the attendees more time to enjoy the free wine generously donated by the Antillean Wine Company. The parrot lovin’ movie “Amore!” was playing as people arrived but this was not nearly as “saucy” as had been promised. Not burdened by any knowledge of how to run an auction the Salba Nos Lora crew managed to pull it off and a fun and cash liberating evening was had by all. Nearly Nafl.1400 was raised and this will go a long way to protecting the parrots.  

There is one more stage in this amazing artwork adventure and that is to create a new campaign poster highlighting the lora’s protected status. A montage of the winning art will somehow be sculpted into a poster and this will be displayed around Bonaire. Look out for it in the coming months.
