SUMMARY:Gallery Opening: Face-To-Face
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Opening tomorrow May 26th @ 7:00 pm- 9:00 pm \nTwo deeply distinct series of portraits that demand a double-take. Troy Lindstrom and Samantha Wigglesworth’s joint exhibition opens at 7:00 PM – have some snacks and beverages with us\, and hear a bit from the two artists. ⁠ \nIn Face-to-face\, the work of Northern BC Artists Troy Lindstrom and Samantha Wigglesworth are exhibited together\, exploring the fine lines of first impressions and preconceived notions. \nAnyone can walk through this show and assume each person’s gender and sexuality based on the representation of the portraits. The question is\, would you be right in your assumptions and the labels you assign to them? How would you know? \nID: From left to right:\nTroy Lindstrom\, #NotSoulless\, Digital illustration\, 2021\nSamantha Wigglesworth\, AMBIGUOUS\, Acrylic on canvas with 3D elements\, 24 x 36 in\, 2021\nFace-To-Face\nTroy Lindstrom\nSamantha Wigglesworth

SUMMARY:Sawney's Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Sawney’s Legacy tells the story of James Anderson\, the first published poet of note in British Columbia. \nThis play is written and performed by Brendan Bailey with Direction by Dirk Van Stralen. It was developed in part through The Sunset Theatre’s annual Exploration Series\, and will be presented once a month this summer on June 30th\, July 14th and August 25th. \nAbout the Poet: James Anderson was the first published poet of note in British Columbia. His Sawney’s Letters and Cariboo Rhymes has been of tremendous historical relevance and is quoted regularly in publications regarding the Cariboo Gold Rush. Born in 1835\, raised and educated in Scotland at the prestigious Dollar Academy\, and one of fifteen children\, he became lord for the Anderson family estate. While resident along Williams Creek during the Cariboo Gold Rush\, he was involved as an owner\, investor\, and labourer in a number of mining pursuits\, but was also heavily involved in many community and social endeavours and was notably respected and well-liked\, particularly for his legal aptitude\, commentative verse\, and singing voice. \nCONTENT WARNING: Sawney’s Legacy is a period piece and explores privileged views of the nineteenth century Caucasian society\, as well as addressing adult themes around family trauma and bias. \nSawney’s Legacy runs approximately 60 minutes in length. \nPlaywright/Researcher/Performer: Brendan Bailey \nProduction Manager/Stage Manager/Lighting Design: Emily Lindstrom \nDirector and Poster Design: Dirk Van Stralen \nResearch and Historical Consultant: Richard Thomas Wright \nIndigenous Consultants: Cheryl Chapman and Mike Retasket \nChinese Consultant: Dr. Ying-Ying Chen \nTheology Consultants: David and Michelle Lieffertz \nCariboo Lodge #4 Consultant: Neil Vant \nNoble Players Logo (design\, image\, and intellectual property): Caitlin Bailey \nCover and Poster Image: Emily Lindstrom \nCostume Advisors and Wardrobe Support: Michelle Lieffertz and Patti Bailey \nHISTORICAL NOTES: The historic dates and events are (or are as close of an educated assumption to) documented\, sourced\, and cited fact. In writing this play\, the playwright has worked within the given historical circumstances and drawn from historic publications to breathe life to fact. \nNoble Players Theatrics is a Canadian production company focused on sharing stories connected to our historic gold rushes. Noble refers to the properties of gold which we feel serve as an effective metaphor for artistic integrity and entertainment value. \nContact: nobleplayerstheatrics@gmail.com

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.
