SUMMARY:artist talk | tea and talk with Rachel Rozanski (ARCHIVAL EARTH)
DESCRIPTION:About 50 percent of Canada is permafrost\, and it’s thawing almost a century earlier than predicted. It is the foundation for Arctic ecosystems and in the last ten years\, thawing and “permafrost slumps” have started to dramatically change the landscape. \nThis multimedia exhibit explores the concept of time on a geological scale through land change in Northern Canada\, with a specific focus on the ways permafrost and water are being altered in the Anthropocene. Investigating permafrost thaw from the direct effects of small-scale mining to the results of large-scale global climate change\, this project developed through creative practice and collaboration with scientists and Indigenous land-based researchers in the Yukon and Northwest Territories on Inuvialuit\, Gwich’in\, Dene\, and Trondek Hwetch’in traditional territories\, partially through summer and winter residencies at the Klondike Institute of Art and Culture. \nAbout the Artist: Rachel Rozanski is an interdisciplinary artist and PhD student whose creative research explores concepts of restoration and repair in environmental studies and disability studies. Through residency projects in the Yukon\, Northwest Territories\, Nunavut and Iceland\, she has collaborated with researchers and been inspired by scientific and land-based studies of permafrost degradation\, pollution and adaptations for the Anthropocene. Using drawing\, photography and video\, Rachel portrays the creative survival of people\, plants and animals in sick bodies and sick Lands\, creating documentary art that is accessible and experiential. Her work has been exhibited in galleries internationally and across Canada including PAVED arts\, Prefix Circuit Gallery\, Two Rivers Gallery\, the Canada Council for the Arts Ajagemo gallery\, and Artspace Gallery for CONTACT Photography Festival. \nRegistration is not necessary\, but we hope you will join us!

In this workshop\, we will observe but also explore all our senses of cognition to connect in kinship with our surroundings. Through a series of meditative drawing exercises\, participants will experience a deeper and fuller relationality of becoming-with the environment. Participants will also be introduced to the practice of nature journaling as a way to record their experiences. Ages 8+ with parent supervision. \nAbout the Artist \nTaline creating art plein air by the riverside \nTaline Kavoukian is a T’Karonto/Toronto-based multimedia artist who uses an ecofeminist lens in her portraiture\, figurative work and landscape painting. Her formal education includes an MA in Creativity and Intrinsic Motivation from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education\, and she recently graduated with a BFA from York University. Taline is an enthusiastic reader\, walker\, traveller\, and curious learner who believes that life is an adventure to be lived with love\, joy and in community.

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: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.

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:filling in the cracks: a somatic creation workshop with amanda preston
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop you will move through a method of creating art in a consciously somatic way.\nA space to place some of your thoughts.\nA drop off for the itchy bits left in the back of your mind\, waiting to come out.\nThis art practice is rooted in connecting the loose thoughts floating around in your mind’s view while taking pressure away from creating with a destination in mind.\nThis workshop is pay-what-you-can and all ages are welcome. We will have paper and writing implements\, but if you have a sketchbook you like to use\, it would be most welcome!

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.

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.
