Gibsons Public Art Gallery: Artist Talk with Carlyn Yandle and CBC’s Stephen Quinn

Join us for a free Artist Talk with exhibiting artist Carlyn Yandle and CBC’s Early Edition host Stephen Quinn. Yandle and Quinn will be discussing a variety of topics relating to Yandle’s exhibition Joyful Making in Perilous Times, including how making is connecting — a form of resistance to forces of individualism.

Carlyn Yandle is a Vancouver-based artist whose art practice interweaves a childhood steeped in West Coast counter-culture, a range of skills in traditional craft methods, and her previous profession as a city newspaper journalist. Her exhibition in the Main Gallery Joyful Making in Perilous Times features large scale fibre art pieces that connect domestic rote hand-making methods with abject materials, issues of personal wellness, and social engagement.

Stephen Quinn is the host of CBC Radio One’s popular morning show The Early Edition. Previously, he was the long-time host of afternoon radio show On The Coast, he spent eight-years as CBC’s civic affairs reporter, he guest-hosted several CBC shows, news specials and a series on the media for network radio, and he is also the creator and host of the very popular Quinn’s Quiz on CBC Radio One. A multiple RTNDA (The Radio Television Digital News Association) award winner, Quinn has covered a multitude of stories that affects British Columbians, in addition to interviewing prolific individuals.
