SUMMARY:Summer s'Wells || Looning into the Long Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Our Summer s’Wells series is back with our latest event: Looning into the Long Weekend! Why not start your long weekend early by joining us in the Garden at the Nest to take in the late summer sounds of Prince George’s Britt A.M. and Vancouver Island’s Ora Cogan.\n\nABOUT THE ARTISTS:\nBritt A.M. marries a punk rock sense of urgency to melodic protest songs. Backed up by a band of Northern B.C.’s finest\, Britt A.M.’s set takes the crowd from toe-tapping to tear-stifling and back around to cutting a rug\, all whilst pondering the state of the world today. After releasing the pop-driven EP “GOLD” in late 2021 (to a well-received #10 ranking on the Earshot National Top 50 charts)\, Britt felt the urge to start shrieking again and so gathered Nathan Kelly\, Brin Porter\, and Justin Gendreau to help her cut an EP (for release later this year). Britt A.M. is excited to bring her band to Wells to share new songs alongside old favorites for the last show of the Summer s’Wells series.\n\nOra Cogan is a multi-disciplinary artist and singer-songwriter based on the West Coast of Canada. She is known for her singular voice and cinematic compositions. Cogan has released seven albums to date while collaborating with a multitude of artists and touring extensively throughout Europe and North America. She has performed at Le Guess Who Festival in the Netherlands\, Pickathon Festival in Portland\, Oregon and has shared the stage with the likes of Grouper\, Mazzy Star and Lido Pimienta. Her new album Bells in the Ruins was released July 13\, 2020 on Prism Tongue Records.\n\nThis event will take place on September 1st at 6:00 PM.\n\nThis is a dry event – leave the alcohol at home please!\n\nLocation: The Garden next to “The Nest”\n\nTickets are pay-what-you can\, but we suggest $15.00.\n\nRegister in advance at: island-mountain-arts.square.site

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening Reception: Fire Season
DESCRIPTION:Island Mountain Arts is thrilled to unveil our final exhibition of our Summer Public Gallery series\, FIRE SEASON.\n\n\nCurated by Vancouver based artists Amory Abbott and Liz Toohey-Wiese\, this exhibition features the work of: Amory Abbott\, Ana Diab\, Kerri Flannigan\, Eli Hirtle\, Kay Penney\, Andreas Rutkauskas\, Liz Toohey-Wiese\, and Emily Wilson.\n\n\n“In cities\, wildfires are often a remote concept marked by smoky skies and heat warnings. Among small communities in the interior of BC\, wildfire is an annual threat that pervades the lives\, livelihood\, and economy of those communities. Where in urban centers\, an exhibition like this might be encouraging further empathy and understanding for the other regions of our province\, hosting this exhibition in Wells allows us to share the work of our contributors with a community that has experienced wildfire in manifest forms\, in a region deeply connected to forests and their management.” – Amory Abbott\, co-curator\, Fire Season\n\n\nAmory Abbott and Liz Toohey-Wiese are visual artists who have explored the topic of wildfires in their art practice. In 2019\, they began discussing the idea of creating an artist book that would center around the topic of wildfires\, and invite contributing artists\, writers\, researchers\, and community members who had been impacted by wildfire to contribute their insights on how to make sense of the increased prevalence and severity of wildfire on the BC landscape. The first issue of Fire Season was published in Fall 2020\, and the second issue will be released in August at the inaugural “Fire Season” art exhibition at Island Mountain Arts.\n\n\nFire Season’s opening reception will take place on August 25th at 6:00 PM.\n\n\nDates open: Thursday\, August 25th\, 2022 – Sunday. October 23rd\, 2022\nGallery Hours: Wednesday – Sunday\, 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM\n\n\nThanks to generous support from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Province of British Columbia Community Gaming Grant\, the Public Gallery is free to visit\, with donations graciously accepted.

SUMMARY:Island Mountain Harp and Cello School: Friday Night Concert with Dave and Shoshanna
DESCRIPTION:Cap off our week-long historic Harp + Cello School (36 years!) with this early evening concert featuring Prince George’s Shoshanna Godber! Shoshanna’s concert will include sorrowful Scottish airs\, cheerful Irish jigs\, originals and even a pop song for good measure! Shoshanna will be joined by partner in music and life\, Dave Godber on guitar and Irish whistle.\n\nABOUT SHOSHANNA:\nShoshanna Godber is a Canadian harpist\, singer\, pianist and banjo player. She began her musical education with classical violin\, piano and voice but was always drawn to her mother’s Celtic music records. She started playing the harp while completing her Bachelor of Music at the University of British Columbia\, and it very quickly eclipsed all of her other musical interests. Her repertoire has expanded from Celtic to traditional folk from all over the world\, classical and contemporary compositions. She is a diverse performer and enjoys giving concerts of traditional and contemporary music with her guitarist (and husband) Dave Godber. She also performs regularly with Alban Classical and with her colleagues for the Prince George Conservatory of Music’s chamber concert series. Shoshanna has recorded three albums of children’s folk music and has contributed to other artist’s projects as a session musician. Her catalogue of sheet music on Harp Column and her website is steadily increasing with her arrangements for harp and voice\, harp ensemble and solo harp. Since 2012 Shoshanna has taught harp and directed a harp ensemble at the Conservatory and loves empowering her students to achieve their harp dreams. Shoshanna loved being the Novice Harp instructor at the IMA Harp School last year and is looking forward to connecting with harpists in person this summer.\nhttps://www.shoshannagodber.com\nhttps://www.youtube.com/c/ShoshannaGodber\n\nLOCATION\nThe Sunset Theatre\, Wells\, BC AND Online\n\nTICKETS\nThis event is a part of the Island Mountain Arts Harp + Cello School and is pay what you can.

SUMMARY:Medicinal Plant Walk
DESCRIPTION:ave you ever wondered what that little flower is on the forest floor or which plants are safe to eat and which are not? Join Birch Kuch on Saturday August 6th from 1-3 pm for an afternoon walk through the Wells marsh and Community Forest to identify many of the useful plants that grow all around us.  We will focus on abundant species that are resistant to over harvesting while discussing wildcrafting ethics\, processing techniques\, and common ailments suitable to herbal treatment. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBirch’s passion for wild medicinal and edible plants started as a child picking berries.  As he grew up he found out that many of his favourite smelly plants\, from yarrow and wild mint to willow and aspen\, are actually useful to us as medicine. \nHerbal medicine is not a replacement for mainstream medicine\, but the two complement each other very nicely. A basic understanding of safe local herbs can help prevent and ameliorate some of the ailments that modern medicine struggles with. \n\nThis workshop is Pay What You Can \nReserve your spot here (you can only book one space at a time): https://islandmountainarts.as.me/plant-walk

She created SharGloMa Soapworks when she realized her “hobby” had turned into an obsession and she had more soap than she could use in a lifetime.\nSharGloMa is originally from Victoria\, BC – but Gloria and her husband Randy realized that the Cariboo was the best place in Canada and they relocated to south Quesnel in September 2021. 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. Gloria believes that there is nothing better than using handmade soap and loves teaching those who are interested in how to make their own. 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

DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours Wed – Sunday 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM \nBoreal Relief is a collection of linocut prints based on images drawn from the forest that surrounds my home and studio in the Yukon. \nWhat started as prints on paper have evolved into three-dimensional paper sculptures and wearable prints on clothing. The sculptures and clothing items echo the images of boreal flora and fauna found in the wall art\, creating a sense of being present in the natural environment. \nThe work in this collection is both a celebration of the beauty and tranquility of the boreal forest as well as an expression of a desire to blend into nature. \nIn our world\, there has been an increasing disconnection from the natural environment\, but recently there is a growing desire to reconnect with nature for reflection\, relaxation and healing. The past two years have heightened this longing for a peaceful escape. Spending time in the Boreal forest is a gift that can provide this relief. \nMartha Ritchie \nMartha Jane Ritchie is an Artist and Printmaker who lives in Haines Junction\, Yukon Territory\, Canada with her husband and two sons. \nWhile attending Emily Carr College of Art\, Martha majored in printmaking and discovered Linocuts. She graduated with honours and continued working in the medium for the next 30 years. \nHer current work is drawn from the natural environment that surrounds her home in Haines Junction\, Yukon. \nwww.martharitchie.com

SUMMARY:Forest Relief Fabric Printing and Painting Workshop w/ Martha Jane Ritchie
DESCRIPTION:Join Martha Jane Ritchie for this two-day workshop June 25th and June 26th 2022. In this workshop\, we will draw our inspiration from the forest as we design and carve a unique printing block for textiles. Participants will apply their relief printing block to fabric and enhance the image with hand painting.\nThis is a fun way to repurpose tired clothes or find a new purpose for old textiles. Although\, synthetic fibres work with this process\, natural plant based fabrics such as linen and cotton give the best results. The fabric must be able to handle direct heat by an iron.\n\nParticipants should bring at least one item to work on\, such as a shirt\, skirt\, tablecloth\, napkins or piece of fabric. It is a good idea to bring an extra piece for back up. Also\, an in-phone camera is helpful and a favourite sketch book and pencil if you have one\, although options will be provided.\n\nThe workshop runs from 11:00am – 3:00pm both days\, with a breaks as determined by the Artist\, and includes access to the studio between instructional times!\n\nEarly Bird Fees to June 10th\, 2022! $90 (Supplies Inc.) + GST\n($22.50 – Early Bird Deposit)\n\nRegular Fees:$120 (Supplies Inc.) + GST\n\nPlease note that the class will run with minimum of 3 participants.\n\nOvernight accommodation options are available for added fees. Message residence@imarts.com for more details.\n\nYou can call our office from 11 – 6 Wed – Sun (250 994 3466) if you encounter any issues through the registration process
