SUMMARY:Happy Trails│Biking kids Camp W/ Jasper Wrinch and Amanda Preston
DESCRIPTION:Kids Nature Camps are supported by the Wells-Barkerville Community Forest and the Province of British Columbia. \nWith a world-class network of trails just steps away\, it’s time to take in and take on the trails like you never have before! Throughout this course\, participants will not only advance their knowledge of bike riding and safety\, they will get a chance to explore how the many trails surrounding Wells can be rediscovered through the lens of cycling and active travel. This program will dive into bike handling skills\, basic bike maintenance\, and mechanics\, trail riding and mapping\, and help develop a deeper relationship with the community trails with the confidence to ride them. \nAges 6-14\nMeeting at Wells-Barkerville school field at 9:00 am each day. \nPlease bring your own bike and helmet. \nREGISTER AT: https://support-imarts.com/tickets-registration/happytrails \nGOALS AND OUTCOMES:\n● Demonstrate the ability to ride a bicycle safely and in a variety of terrains\n● Responsibly and safely interact with the trail system\, trail users\, and surrounding ecosystems\n● Develop an understanding of the many ways in which we can interact with and use the Wells Trail system \nWHO ARE THE INSTRUCTORS? \nJASPER WRINCH:\nJasper Wrinch is a musician and writer living and working out of Nex̱wlélex̱m\, in the Squamish\, Musqueam and Tseil-Waututh territories. Having visited Wells a number of times through music and film over the last six years\, Jasper has taken on the role of Island Mountain Arts’ Coordinator for Youth Recreational and Leisure Activities for the summer of 2023. In addition to the Youth Film Scoring Workshop he ran with filmmaker Sarah Genge in winter 2021 through IMA\, Jasper has worked with youth in various organizations and roles all over the province\, including instructing at Gavin Lake Forest Education Society\, HUB Cycling’s Bike Education programs\, presenting for BC Schizophrenia Society’s ReachOut Psychosis program\, and privately tutoring school-aged youth in a number of subjects. Jasper is looking forward to getting to know the Wells youth and to work with artists and community members for an exciting summer at IMA. \nAMANDA PRESTON:\nAmanda Lynne is not a musical instrument or a sharp kitchen implement contrary to what her name would lead you to believe. She’s an artist/creator who primarily works with oil paints and\nsurrealism-based art concepts\, but really enjoys anything that has a foundation in the arts. In Wells\, she’s found the inspiration to create in ways she wouldn’t have otherwise considered\, due to the environment and way of life the town provides.

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.

SUMMARY:Community Meeting on the Future of the ArtsWells Festival
DESCRIPTION:We know that many of you are waiting to hear whether or not Island Mountain Arts (IMA) will bring ArtsWells back in the summer of 2023.Based on the results of the 2022 Community Feedback Survey and the IMA Board’s goals and vision\, we are planning a smaller version of the Festival\, to be presented in 2023 or 2024. We will announce the next Festival dates soon.\n\n\nOur goals are to present a Festival that includes the best parts of ArtsWells and eliminates\, to the best of our ability\, the elements that strained our community.\n\n\n· We hope you will read the Community Feedback Survey Results Summary: https://drive.google.com/…/1hRvjxi6YBnnd1lH1WVDTG…/view\n· IMA Board and Committees will continue to develop the Festival and other plans\, seek funding\, and collaborate with our partners for the future.\n· We encourage our neighbours to join us for a Community Meeting on February 8th at 7:00 PM in the Island Mountain Arts Public Gallery (2323 Pooley St.) where we will present our roadmap for the 2023 season and beyond. We look forward to hosting this conversation. (we unfortunately do not have the infrastructure to host this meeting in-person and online at this time.)\n\n\nIf you’re interested in volunteering with us to bring a future Festival or other programming to life\, please consider joining us on February 8th or contact volunteer@imarts.com for more details.\n\n\nBackground:\n\n\nFor many years\, Island Mountain Arts ran a summer festival in Wells called ArtsWells Festival Of All Things Art. Artists\, musicians\, and attendees came from near and far to celebrate what Wells had to offer.\n\n\nThe festival has not happened in person since the beginning of the covid pandemic. In its final years\, it had successfully grown so large that it began to put serious strain on the broader community and its infrastructure.

SUMMARY:“My Art is Activism” - In conversation with Sid Chow Tan
DESCRIPTION:Island Mountain Arts is honoured to be hosting video documentarian\, community organizer\, and media producer Sid Chow Tan – along with a team of researchers/artists – in a residency through the beginning of August. Join us for a conversation on August 7th in the Island Mountain Arts Gallery as we delve into Sid’s prolific career\, inspired activism\, and community-centric approach to organizing and effecting change.\n\nSID CHOW TAN 周明輝 is perhaps best known for his anti-racism work\, community organizing\, and community-based media productions.
