SUMMARY:A Play on Birds Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Don Konrad considers himself a cartoonist at heart. He’s been sketching and painting since elementary school\, taking his inspiration from nature\, people and his life experiences. Birders and art-lovers alike will enjoy Konrad’s whimsical bird artwork now on display at the Nelson Public Library. \n  \nAfter many decades of creating art\, Don Konrad still has a sense of wonder about the power of imagination in creating images. “I’ve always been fascinated and amused by the thought that they come out of the end of a pencil\, pen or brush\, if you let it”\, says Don. “Creating the birds as caricatures was fun\, but the challenge was giving each one its own personality.” \n  \nThe illustrations are rendered in casein\, an opaque medium\, and traditional watercolours. They were originally created as part of a collaborative book project\, A Play on Birds\, between Don Konrad and his daughter Erica Konrad. After the illustrations were created\, Erica provided the corresponding text for the book\, like a field guide\, but for imaginary birds. “Whether it’s in the name of the bird itself or truths hidden in the description\, these birds harbour secrets on how they connect to other real-world birds- a treasure hunt of sorts” says Don. \n  \nDon has exhibited in many Canadian galleries and other public spaces and currently mentors and tutors in watercolour painting at The Narrows Art Retreat in Grohman Narrows. \n  \nThe show continues until the end of December and copies of the book A Play on Birds will be available to purchase at the Nelson Library.

SUMMARY:Building your digital toolbox for LGBTQ2S+ artists
DESCRIPTION:VIEW THE RECORDING.\n \n  \nThis fall\, the West Kootenay Regional Arts Council is hosting a series of workshops to help you effectively showcase your creative work and build a more sustainable practice. \n  \nJoin Heidi Nagtegaal and Jenny Lee Craig* for a conversation about the top online tools that can help your artistic business flourish. This workshop will cover setting up successful social media channels\, strategies for audience engagement and managing your digital to-do list. This is an all-abilities-friendly session that will leave you with greater confidence when selling your work online\, even if capitalism makes you cringe. \n  \nThis event is free and takes place virtually on Monday\, December 19 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Pacific / 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Mountain. \n  \n*Centre Center is an umbrella organization that is owned by no one\, but tended by Jenny Lee Craig and Heidi Nagtegaal\, focusing on third spaces\, underground spaces and the alternative arts spaces outside of the artist-run-centre model. \nWe’re not looking to create something new because other things are bad. We want to make kinder networks\, supportive networks and resources for sharing\, to activate our collective strength. We want to overlap with things that are already in action because we are stronger together. \nDrawing from nature\, Centre Center sees the arts as a form of an ecological intersection from all kinds of cultural spaces\, classes\, experiences\, lifestyles and ways of being. Oftentimes\, our artistic experience is separated by these differences\, and Centre Center aims to be a support network to bridge the gaps between organizations\, people and culture. \nYou can’t build culture past what you have\, and to work with different people and different ways of being is the way to move forward\, and to build more than what you could bring on your own. Diversity and inclusivity are the only generative way forward\, and that means opening up to ideas and ways of being that may seem foreign to you. \n  \nNote: Resources and materials from this session will be made available to the public on this website. To learn when these are available\, follow us on Facebook or Instagram or sign up for our newsletter. \n
