"At the heart of the exhibition is a 3-D collage of notable British Columbians. The Party displays 134 people, famous and infamous, that have contributed to the British Columbian identity. Over the course of the year, visitors have an opportunity to contribute to the collage by voting on who they think should be added to the Party in order to bring the number of guests to 150." (Susan Musgrave notes: Someone with a good sense of humour decided to include a 3-D version of yours truly (who is not exactly know in literary circles as a die-hard party-hardy animal) in The Party. ) For details go to: http://www.freespiritbc.ca/virtualexhibition/theparty.aspx
