We are proud to announce that CK On the Edge happily named Photography by Phil Beard their official event photographer at their Members & Media event at the William street cafe last night. CK On the Edge was created in 2009 by 2 local arts administrators who aim to provide an opportunity for local and regional artists to perform, present or exhibit.

The 2010 festival will be the first major event for CK on the Edge. The stimulus behind this event was the community’s completion of a Cultural Master Plan in 2008 which has grown into a major movement to re-brand our community as a cultural hub in Southwestern Ontario.

CK On the Edge aim to engage, enrich and build community pride through the presentation of an arts festival that is accessible to all, Photography by Phil Beard is extremely exited be a part of this initiative. Photography by Phil Beard will provide the means for all Chatham-Kent locals and visitors to purchase professional prints from all CK on the Edge festivals and events.
