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:Unlocking Stories: An Evening of Music w/ Zach Kleisinger
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 7:30 PM.\nUnlock you Family Story (www.imarts.com/upcoming-workshops/2023/unlockyourfamilystory) is capped off with an evening of music\, story and wit from Vancouver’s Zach Kleisinger. \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nZach writes lyrically-driven songs in the contemporary\, darkened-folk\, singer-songwriter style. His words often feel like a bathroom mirror\, while his compositions tend to conjure an emotion akin to the heartbreakers on Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks. The strength of Kleisinger’s songwriting has a simple yet poetic intimacy that illustrates profound messages by magnifying the little things.\nSince releasing his EP\, I Hope It’s Calm\, Then\, in 2018\, Kleisinger has established himself within the alt-folk music community\, performing hundreds of concerts across Canada\, the UK\, Europe\, and the US. His live performances have gathered him a loyal audience\, where the comfort of his warm baritone voice and magnetic songs are often juxtaposed\, oddly and satisfyingly\, by dry\, unrehearsed humour.\nKleisinger’s latest record\, Their Symposium\, was released in August 2021 via DevilDuck Records to widespread acclaim. Since its release\, Their Symposium has charted on college radio across the US and Canada\, received generous airplay on Canada’s nationally syndicated radio network CBC\, and earned numerous publications in magazines such as Canadian Musician\, Americana UK\, Atwood\, and American Pancake. In the deep sea of indie-folk songwriters\, Zach Kleisinger is a narrator of raw emotions and real tales that will draw you into an intimate\, familiar world.\nwww.zachkleisinger.com\n⁠\nLOCATION:⁠\nThe Sunset Theatre\, Wells BC⁠\n⁠\nTICKETS⁠\n$25.00 General Admission\n$20.00 Member\n$15 Youth under 18\nFree Youth under 10\nFree for Unlock Your Family Story Students\nThis event falls at the tail end of Unlock your Family Story\, a family history writing workshop. \nYou can get your tickets here: https://island-mountain-arts.square.site⁠ \n*A note for ticket buyers* – Square online requires a street address to process payments – if you encounter any issues\, call our office (250)-994-3466 between 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM from Monday – Friday. \nLive Music Presentation is made possible for Island Mountain Arts through the Government of Canada Department of Canadian Heritage\, the Province of British Columbia and Creative BC. We are grateful to our hosts at the Sunset Theatre\, and the many board members and volunteers that make our work possible.

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.

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: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.
