SUMMARY:no art to see here: Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 20th\, 2023 – Sunday May 21st\, 2023\nExhibition Opening: April 20th at 7:00 PM \nGallery Hours: 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM\nThursday – Sunday\, or by appointment \n“Art fills the cracks of meaning that tangible things leave behind.”\nAs a child\, Amanda Preston’s sketchbook went everywhere with her. Where words weren’t appropriate\, art was. Conversations between the adults around her became colours\, and her means of connection were often her drawings: her way of quietly saying “I see you.”\nWhere colour palate bonds her work together\, the pieces explore disconnect to others and to self\, as well as the expectations of being: Being alive\, being oneself\, being surrounded by one another\, being alone in a world that is both kind and unkind. \nThough words convey a lot of meaning\, language is limited and meaning is steadily diminished through ambitionless buzz-words that can’t always articulate one’s feelings. As one might reach for metaphors and similes to be the grout that secures honest feeling\, Preston reaches for art to fill to secure those same misplaced pieces\, providing a connection to those leftover bits of emotion that too often go unspoken. \nThe title of the show\, “no art to see here” can be read as a nod to Lady Macbeth’s “there’s no art to find the mind’s construction in the face.” In other words\, no one can determine what another is thinking by looking at their appearance or the expression on such a person’s face.\nIn a very similar way\, you can be told to receive or not to receive art in a specific\, curated process but true connection or understanding will filter through our own individual perception. No one person can predetermine another’s connection or lack thereof.

SUMMARY:Unlock Your Family Story
DESCRIPTION:Is your family story locked in your accumulated documents and trees? Does your family ask for the stories? Then it’s time to pull it all together and publish that story! Participants engage in 14 hours of workshops and discussion facilitated by Brenda L Smith and Andrea Lister. \nTopics include: identifying the audience; choosing the right format; reviewing research\, putting words on the page; editing; legal necessities\, and assignments to get started. Working with their own materials\, and supporting each other\, participants discover how to move from gathering information to creating a publishable product. Participants will set goals for their research\, organize and evaluate their data\, and unlock their family story. \nIMA’s operational work is made possible through support from the Province of British Columbia\, The BC Arts Council\, and the Canada Council for the Arts.
