SUMMARY:Reception and Artist Talk: Liquid Light
DESCRIPTION:Reception + Artist Talk: May 16\, 6PM! \nThe show will run from May 16th to June 15th so be sure to stop by and have a look at the art! \nIMA’s Gallery shows are supported by the Province of BC. Liquid light is additionally supported by the Wells-Barkerville Community Forest \nLight is fluid. It travels in a straight line at twice the speed of sound. It can reflect off objects and refract through others. It interferes\, disperses\, diffracts\, polarizes\, and creates shadow. These changeable qualities are what makes light fluid. Light also forms the biological basis of visual perception. The human visual system is geared toward understanding\, creating meaning and assigning value. My practice explores interactions between elements of the natural world and human values. \nMy work seeks to unearth subtleties beyond what the eye can see and focuses on the relationship between the abundance of living organisms and my own place within these ever evolving ecosystems. \nAs I created these prints\, I chose to highlight asymmetry and imperfections to draw a parallel to my human experiences. I also thought about the fragile nature and delicate balances of life cycles and how these same characteristics also speak to resiliency. Life continually captivates me with its duality and balanced interactions of competing and complementary forces. \nThe artworks in this series reflect my engagement with the forest and fauna of Vancouver Island\, coupled with a sense of reverence I feel when I notice the intelligence of the natural world.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Lino Cut Reduction with Mary Anne Molcan
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is a beginner to intermediate level course for those who want to expand their one colour linocut experience to two or more colours. No prior printmaking experience is required. \nLearn about the reductive format of printmaking\, where participants work with one lino block to create a multi-coloured layered print edition. Prints are generally created with a colour pallet that ranges in value from light to darker hues. After each coloured layer is printed\, the block is carved to eliminate the latest colour from being reprinted. This process continues until the last colour remains and the block is destroyed. \nDue to the deterioration of the block through this method every carving decision is final and participants learn to work with unintended mark making. This process is fun and ensures that each print edition is truly one of a kind and impossible to replicate!\nParticipants are encouraged to come with source material or a drawing suitable for a 5 x 7 inch \nWhen?\nSaturday May 17th and Sunday May 18th\nIMA has inexpensive accommodation options for program participants through our artist-in-residence building check it out here -> www.imarts.com/island-mountain-air \nWhere?\nWells-Barkerville School (4386 Mildred Ave) Second Floor Studios\n4 hours/day \nCost?\n$185+GST for 2025 IMArts Members – Get Your Membership and support IMA Here!\n$200+GST for Non-Members \nRegistration?\n25% of the workshop fee will be due within 5 business days of registration and is non-refundable. IMA will draft and send an invoice to you via Square. We can take down-payment in the gallery in cash\, via e-transfer to finance@imarts.com or using a credit card online. The balance is due upon arrival at the workshop. \nThis workshop is supported by the BC Arts Council and the Province of British Columbia

SUMMARY:Danny Bell and His Disappointments
DESCRIPTION:Danny Bell and His Disappointments play western-folk-psych-punk. They live on unceded Lhedli T’enneh Territory in Northern British Columbia. Exclaim! Magazine called their last full-length album an “anti capitalist\, anti-elitist\, anti-asshole folk record for small moments in small places.” Danny’s music is regional. It’s steeped in his affection for his home in the hinterland\, a blue collar town\, the stink of the pulp mill\, and everyday life in Northern BC. \n\nDinner service 5pm – 8 pm\nMusic starts at 8pm\nCover by donation\nFirst come\, first served\, no reservations\nNo minors after the end of the meal service
