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:Evening Bat Excursion
DESCRIPTION:From Superhero origins to bloodsucking shapeshifters and attic nuisances\, bats can be regarded in many different lights. In this workshop come learn why bats are truly spectacular and often misunderstood creatures. Bat researcher Brett Gandy will take us on an evening bat exploration to see and listen to the bats who make the forest their home.

His research has aimed to better understand how bats use and select their habitat\, and how this can relate to selecting sites for both further research and conservation of our bat species. Brett is currently working in the Wells-Barkerville Community Forest this summer on an acoustic monitoring project that aims to determine which species of bats call Wells home\, as well as gaining insight into how these bats are using the different habitats that the community forest has to offer.\n\nThis workshop is PWYC.

They have been making soap for the Quesnel Farmers Market and Edgewood Farms (their first wholesale outlet) and enjoying everything the Cariboo has to offer.\n\nSoapmaking is an art that has been bringing people together for centuries. Similar to quilting bees\, pioneers had soapmaking days where many people would get together to make soap for the community.

She also loves researching beneficial plants that can be used in soapmaking and is looking forward to learning more about the foraging opportunities in the Cariboo.\n\nThis workshop costs $30.00 which covers the materials used.\nReserve your spot here (you can only book one space at a time):\nhttps://islandmountainarts.as.me/soap-making-101

SUMMARY:Kids' Nature Camp: Finding Community
DESCRIPTION:This program is a recognition of the immense benefits of being outside\, playing\, creativity\, and a healthy dose of curiosity. We aim to help children explore in a supportive and safe environment to build confidence of their own capability. Throughout the summer we will focus on play and free exploration as a tool to learn\, grow curiousity\, and develop a sense of wonder for the amazing world that is around us. \nAges 6-13 with flexibility \nTimes: Tuesday 9:00-12:00 pm and Thursday 9:00-2:30 pm \nDates: July 6th-August 26th Tuesdays and Thursdays \nProgram Facilitators: Devon Macdonald and Annie Rutherford \nCost: No cost to participants * \n* This is the first year that we have offered a program like this and we are excited about the opportunities it presents for future programming. We are offering the nature camp at no cost for participants because we recognize the learning and growth that comes in the first year. To allow this program to continue into the future we do plan on having a cost associated in future years to keep it sustainable. Thank you for joining us on our foray into the woods we welcome any feedback or comments you may have to help us to continue to grow and learn. \nClick here if you are ready to register or call us at 250-994-3466. \nCOVID 19 POLICY\nThis program will run in accordance with the directives provided by the BC Provincial Health Office to ensure the safety of any children and staff involved and the broader community. Please read over our Health and Safety Site Plan before registering your child to ensure that you are comfortable with the measures we have in place and to give us time to respond to concerns. We will continue to review and update this document as the summer progresses and new information becomes available. \nIMA COVID Health & Safety Site Plan: Focus Youth Programs \nIf you have any questions or concerns please contact Elyssia Sasaki (elyssia@imarts.com). \nWEEKLY THEMES & GUEST ARTISTS\nEach week will introduce a new theme which will serve as a jumping off point for our explorations. While we intend to follow these themes we also recognize that there are unforseen circumstances and so all of these themes have a built in flexibility to allow for discovery wherever that takes us. The themes will help to guide our play for each week and in a gentle way allow us to think about new concepts while having fun. \nArtists will be announced soon! If you are interested in being one of our guest artists please contact Annie at annie@imarts.com. We would love to hear from you! \nJuly 6 & 8 – A Place To Call Home \nThis week we will explore habitats and what makes a place home. Our play for this week will focus on building a habitat for ourselves within the forest and finding out who our neighbours are. This weeks art will explore the concept of home and the many ways that a home and habitat are created. \nJuly 13 & 15 – Signs of Life \nWhat clues do different life forms leave behind? This theme examines the trails that are left behind and how we can learn to read these clues and trails like a book to learn who was there. This theme will challenge us to understand different lived experience while making us think about the imprints we leave behind. \nJuly 20 & 22 – Navigating the woods \nHow do we find our way when we are lost? To begin to answer this question we will build our awareness of the spaces around us. Through games and activities we will cultivate an understanding of the places around us build our capacity for understanding our landscape. \nJuly 27 & 29 – Leafy friends \nDid you know that you could make a shirt out of nettles? That willow can help you deal with pain and that you can eat dandelions whole? While we wont necessarily do all these things this week we will explore the amazing world of plants. \nAug 3 & 5 – Creating with the forest \nThis week’s theme is about discovering the exciting process of decay and renewal. What happens to the trees that fall on the ground? What happens to an apple if you bury it in the ground? We will try to answer some of these questions in this week but also look at how decay provides space for creativity and renewal in the forest. We will play games and test our creativity in finding ways to design and make with the forest. \nAug 10 & 12  Forest Languages \nWhen you walk through the forest can you hear the trees talking? The answer is likely no and that is because trees don’t communicate in the same way we do but that doesn’t mean that they don’t talk with one another. This theme will explore communication in the forest. We will try to decode bird language\, marvel at the wonderous world of mycelium and play with these concepts. \nAug 17 & 19 – The Five Senses \nThis week will focus on training our senses so we can be alert and more aware of what is happening. Our training will include sensory walks and games to get a better understanding of our own senses and the ones we may not use very often. To help us understand the senses and their importance in the forest we will look at how different animals use their senses and how it is important for survival but also to thrive within any environment. \nAug 24 & 26 – Finding Community \nAs our last week we will identify what it means to be part of a community and the importance of giving back. We will celebrate the community that we have created and think about ways that we can continue to make community in our lives. \nWHAT TO BRING\nWe will be outside rain or shine. The key to having a good time in any weather is preparation. We request that every child come prepared for the day ahead. This list is a guide to what one might bring depending on the conditions outside. If there is anything on here that you do not have please contact us and we will do our best to arrange something.
