SUMMARY:Artist Bookmaking with Cat Sivertsen
DESCRIPTION:September 2nd\, 2023 \n10 a.m – 2 p.m \nAges 13+ \nRegister by August 19th. \nPay what you can + Mandatory $15.00 Materials Fee (suggested $35.00 total) \nAn artist’s book is a book created by an artist and not a biography of an artist. It is experimental in media and could tell a story or maybe not\, it is always beautiful\, unique\, and relevant to the maker and\, of course\, the reader. \nworkshop in connection to IMA’s exhibition of Cat’s work ‘Sensibilities of Place’. This workshop is about how to create an artist’s book using a variety of materials and framed within the notion of ‘sensibilities of place’ – your place. \nThe workshop begins at the hardest part and that is… getting started! The focus of this workshop is to learn how to dispel that creative tension by tapping into some of Cat’s ‘tricks of the trade’ based on accessible materials being used in magical ways: drawing\, printmaking\, collage\, and simple writing processes. The goal is to get marks onto the paper thus helping you realize your story. Yes\, you will take home an artist’s book that expresses your sense of place\, and you will also take away a bevy of tricks to fuel your creative endeavours at home. \nJoin Cat for an enjoyable morning of material exploration\, a bit of storytelling\, and lots of laughter through creativity. All materials are included and pre-registration is required as seats are limited. No experience necessary – bring a picnic lunch and an open heart to play.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: Sensibilities of Place
DESCRIPTION:Sensibilities of Place is a conversation between self and place. An exploration of relationships between the environment\, systems\, people\, and those houses within. Conversations that connect the material with the abstract\, and the observed and the direct. The work manifest through bearing witness and being witnessed. These notions culminate physically in text and textiles.  The installation is an invitation to meander. \nThe artist will be in Wells creating site specific components prior to the opening on August 31st.

SUMMARY:Ghostly Hounds and the Dang Package

Doors open at 7:30 pm and the show starts at 8:00 pm.\nGet your tickets in advance here:\nhttps://support-imarts.com/tickets-registration/houndsandpackage?fbclid=IwAR29o-1qwO0PKf-OpmTP6jVyHB9cAO8y5p2ko1C4YlcTj1EF2YkiOorTVmU \nThank you to the Province of BC\, Creative BC\, and Canada Council for supporting our live event programming. \nThe Dang Package is credited as your cool Aunt’s favourite band 🙂\nDuring the great isolation\, through chemical and electronic alchemy\, The Dang Package discovered a mutual affection for the unknown\, the spectacle of space travel\, the anomaly between sound and contentment; and all which eternally bind them. \nGhostly Hounds is the folk project of Francesca Mirai\, singer-songwriter and banjo player based out of S\,DÁYES/ Pender Island\, BC. With a background in classical\, jazz and punk\, Francesca has become known for their unique vocals. They captivate their audience with a clear\, soaring range\, powerful projection and just the right amount of grit\, coalescing elegantly with traditional and modern banjo instrumentals. Formed in Tiohtià:ke/ Montréal and often on the road\, Ghostly Hounds has toured this project all over the country delivering hundreds of performances from coast-to-coast.\nFrancesca’s deeply personal song writing\, with focus on themes of love and grief\, has evoked adoration from listeners across Canada and the United States. Their skill as a songwriter\, the intimacy and vulnerability of their songs\, and their original and soulful arrangements have earned Ghostly Hounds enduring and enthusiastic support from their fans. Ghostly Hounds’ sophomore album\, In The Rubble\, released September 10th 2022.

SUMMARY:Luminosity Gallery Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the IMA Public Gallery between 11 AM and 6 PM from July 8th – 15th (Closed Monday and Tuesday) to participate in this unique multimedia exhibition\, and again at 5:30 PM on July 15th for the culminating showcase. \nIn Luminosity\, the artworks of visual artist Linda Dayan Frimer and video artist Isaac Forsland are showcased together\, exploring the interaction between painted pieces and projections. Together\, the works unveil the artists’ vivid hues and abstract elements\, highlighting the role creativity has in the relationship between humanity and nature.\nDuring the run of the exhibition\, the public is invited to participate in the creative process of ‘Direct Animation’\, contributing their own drawings\, impressions\, and linework onto a clear strip of film as they explore the gallery. \nOver the course of the exhibition\, this community-made artwork will evolve\, culminating in a late afternoon tea + talk that will feature a book reading of Luminous with Frimer\, followed by a film screening to conclude the exhibition. \nLINDA DAYAN FRIMER:\nBorn and raised in the forests of the Wells-Barkerville area\, Frimer finds inspiration in local surroundings\, particularly trees\, transcending the confines of the natural world and giving rise to dynamic\, lively forests. Her newest book\, Luminous: An Artist’s Story as a Guide to Radical Creativity\, posits that as the artists of our own stories\, we actively cultivate our imagination and our experiences of colour and form. Through knowledge of past artists\, who were able to see more in the darkness of their times while visualizing the future\, Frimer encourages us to be inspired to bring something new\, creative and unifying into existence. \nISAAC FORSLAND:\nForsland explores the creative process itself\, with a strong emphasis on the time and effort invested behind the scenes of film production. While recognizing the importance of the final result\, the focus in this show primarily rests on understanding the intricate journey of bringing a piece of film to life. \nIMA acknowledges the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and the Province of British Columbia\, as well as the Wells-Barkerville Community Forest\, for keeping our gallery free to attend.\nIMA acknowledges the ancestral territories of the Secwépemc and Dakelh Nations\, on which Luminosity will be presented\, recognizing their historical and ongoing connection to the land.

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.

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
