SUMMARY:Sechelt Arts Festival: Exhibition Opening + Festival Reception: Bracken Hanuse Corlett\, Jessica Silvey + Robert Joe\, Laiwan and others
DESCRIPTION:Up and down the pacific northwest coast there are stories shared of the great flood. They speak about the rising waters\, the urgency to escape to higher ground and coming down to start over again after the water recedes. In my home community\, Wuikinuxv\, it is said the People who survived the flood climbed the mountain known as Kvauma (seat of the eagle) to escape the push of the ocean water. In making a lot of the work for this show I was thinking about the art we make and the work we do after loss…after a series of losses. What happens when catastrophe and heartbreak are normalized in our bones? Where do we place focus? Do we look at what has been taken\, or to what remains and can be reclaimed?

SUMMARY:GPAG: Opening Reception | Kay & McKnight\, Nadina Tandy

All are welcome! \nIn the Main and Eve Smart Galleries\, Woodland Rhythms features oil and cold wax paintings that create a sensory echo of the woodlands where perception blurs and transforms. Kay and McKnight’s complementary approaches unite in a celebration of the coastal woodland\, blending their unique personal visions with a shared artistic language. \nIn Joe’s Lounge\, Nadina Tandy’s Monopoly invites us to travel into new worlds.
