SUMMARY:Reflection - Inspirito Vocal Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:This eclectic program of music explores the essence of humanity and reflects on the human condition as it appears in our internal self-awareness\, our relationships with others\, and our interaction with the natural world. Humanity is a complex blend of profound empathy\, creative intelligence\, and destructive potential\, often defined by its search for meaning\, connection to nature\, and capacity for both love and cruelty. We are all social creatures navigating mortality\, shaped by our interactions\, and driven by a need for compassion and a responsibility to protect our shared existence. \nThe program will include songs in different styles and genres and will highlight text and music by great Canadian artists: Dennis Lee\, author and co-founder of the House of Anansi Press\, Joni Mitchell\, Connie Kaldor and The Rankin Family. \nUnder direction of Artistic Director Sarona Mynhardt\, we will be joined by Toby Aldren on piano\, and Bernard Blary & Yewon Shin on flute.

SUMMARY:GPAG: Opening Reception | Bob Evermon\, Yuan Wen\, Maureen Sugrue\, Rose Stardust
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Opening Reception of our four newest exhibitions on Saturday\, May 2nd\, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome! \nIn the Main Gallery\, Bob Evermon’s We Are the Eyes of the Stars features prints\, paintings\, and sculptures that speak to what can be sensed beneath the layers of visual art\, as well as to the little moments in life that catch one’s attention. Yuan Wen’s Unbounding combines printmaking methods with painting\, utilizing lithography and hand-drawn elements to create networks of organic forms\, suspended fragments\, and flowing gestures. \nIn the Eve Smart Gallery\, Maureen Sugrue’s Pathways features mixed media textile banners that represent ideas that came from conversations about aging\, paths taken or not taken\, and the journey to “now” in our lives. In Joe’s Lounge\, Rose Stardust’s Art\, Wit\, and Other Coping Mechanisms explores how creativity and wit help us make sense of things and keep going. It follows an arc from hope to doubt\, from dawn to dusk\, and back again.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibition: SC Arts Centre: Carolina Franzen & Helena Wadsley
DESCRIPTION:Helena Wadsley and Carolina Franzen\, both Sunshine Coast residents\, have adopted a diverse tradition of Walking Art into their practices. Engaged with the challenges posed by land use\, and in order to find alternative relations to the land\, their inspiration for drawings\, sculptures\, and video comes through periods of intense physical contact to the environment; be it that objects found in the landscape may be contextually sculpted so that their meaning and history remains connected with the land\, be it that a slow pace allows them to witness and to create through acts of acknowledgment and connectivity. Both artists’ drawings tread the lines of the land between natural and human-made\, and yet\, their sculptures\, found objects\, and video works have a second threshold in common: to record the walking experience while enabling the visitor to traverse with them.

DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brings together two distinct approaches to interpreting the natural world—Heidi’s detailed bird studies and Bronwyn’s abstract watercolours—through a shared exploration of process\, material\, and scale.\n\n\nExpanding on a previous miniature show\, these works revisit the same themes at a larger scale\, where gesture\, movement\, and detail are given more space to evolve.

SUMMARY:GPAG: BOB EVERMON | We Are the Eyes of the Stars
DESCRIPTION:Bob Evermon’s exhibition in the Main Gallery\, We Are the Eyes of the Stars\, speaks to what can be sensed beneath the layers of visual art; as well as to the little moments in life that catch one’s attention. Evermon’s work is anchored in natural forms\, line\, colour\, structure\, and beauty. He explores the depth and poetry of visual language\, translating stories that we draw from nature into his works. We Are the Eyes of the Stars also explores the consciousness of the universe and our role as its timekeepers\, as well as our attempts to make logical sense of our lives and our attempts to map or record them for posterity. \nJoin us for the Opening Reception on Saturday\, May 2nd\, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!

SUMMARY:GPAG: YUAN WEN | Unbounding
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the intersections of material agency\, natural cycles\, and spatial fluidity\, Yuan Wen’s exhibition Unbounding in the Main Gallery features organic forms reflecting the artist’s scientific interests and addressing environmental concerns. It challenges the boundaries between solidity and transience and examines the interactions and degradation of natural and synthetic materials within this evolving context. Wen combines printmaking methods with painting\, utilizing lithography and hand-drawn elements to create networks of organic forms\, suspended fragments\, and flowing gestures; emphasizing the patterns that emerge in nature\, from cellular formations to vast environmental landscapes. Inspired by 17th-century scientific illustrations\, these pieces investigate the intersection of observation\, documentation\, and the evolving human relationship with the natural world. Ultimately\, Unbounding encourages viewers to rethink their connection with materiality and the environment\, prompting reflection on the unseen forces that influence personal and collective experiences. \nJoin us for the Opening Reception on Saturday\, May 2nd\, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!

SUMMARY:GPAG: MAUREEN SUGRUE | Pathways
DESCRIPTION:Maureen Sugrue’s exhibition in the Eve Smart Gallery Pathways represents ideas that came from conversations about aging\, paths taken or not taken\, and the journey to “now” in our lives. These conversations led to seeing or imagining paths; not necessarily literal versions\, but instead interpretative impressions of the mental pathways that intertwine throughout our lives. Each work begins with white cloth developed in stages through dyeing\, stitching\, painting\, and printmaking techniques\, with constant experimentation during the process; resulting in vibrant cloth banners that represent a diverse array of mediums and techniques. Sugrue’s creative process involves the full development of an idea to a resolution\, a deeply satisfying process that is also inspired by both the nature and culture surrounding her. \nJoin us at the Opening Reception on Saturday\, May 2nd\, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!

SUMMARY:GPAG: ROSE STARDUST | Art\, Wit\, and Other Coping Mechanisms
DESCRIPTION:When the world starts to feel absurd\, we have art to hold us. This exhibition by Rose Stardust in Joe’s Lounge moves through a familiar rhythm\, from a symbolic morning of hope\, to a night marked by doubt\, and everything in between. It follows the ways we cope\, make sense of things\, and keep going\, even when nothing quite adds up. Creativity runs through the work as both a lifeline and inquiry. Engaging with art – getting our hands dirty\, our minds solving problems – is not just a way to get through. It’s a way of working with what’s unresolved\, and looking a little closer\, with intention. It’s therapy and escape\, all at once. Stardust’s paintings carry a dream-like\, contemporary relic quality. Strong shapes sit alongside distressed\, shifting atmospheres\, built layer upon layer\, holding both clarity and erosion at once. \nJoin us at the Opening Reception on Saturday\, May 2nd\, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!
