SUMMARY:Leaf No Trace: Overnight Kids Nature Camp
DESCRIPTION:The plants that surround us are full of possibilities; they can be food\, building materials\, habitats\, dyes\, decorations\, and more.

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: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.

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.
