SUMMARY:The Witness Blanket
DESCRIPTION:Seemingly disconnected remnants of clothing\, crumbling buildings\, and fragmented cultures are woven together into a blanket\, designed to shine light on the Indian Residential School system that connects them\, and stand as a monument to the resiliency and strength of those who survived them.  \nThe Nelson Museum\, Archives & Gallery (NMAG) is honoured to exhibit a replicated portion of The Witness Blanket in the summer of 2024\, on tour from the Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg\, Manitoba. Inspired by a woven blanket\, Witness Blanket is a large-scale work of art created by master carver Carey Newman\, containing hundreds of items reclaimed from residential schools\, churches\, government buildings\, and traditional and cultural structures from across Canada.   \nThe Witness Blanket is on display from August 10 to September 20\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence for August
DESCRIPTION:Drop into The JB Fletcher Store Museum for our next exhibit with artist Elizabeth Augsten starting on August 23. Elizabeth will be on site Aug.31 and Sept. 1 demonstrating her process. \n“My work in acrylic is a melding of light and shadows from places either real or imagined\, presented in a loosely representational style. Featuring vibrant colors and often incorporating water\, my pieces are inspired by music and aim to capture the dynamic interplay between sound and visual experience. Through these abstracted landscapes\, I reflect the inherent beauty of the environment while evoking a sense of rhythm and emotion.”

SUMMARY:PETUNIA & THE VIPERS W/ UCRA Mountain String Band
DESCRIPTION:After touring for the past decade to the UK\, Canada and parts of the USA\, world acclaimed Petunia and the Vipers make another breakout tour\, with their last four album releases all going to #1 on the Canadian Folk/Blues/Americana charts. \nPetunia is no stranger to being a “road dog”. \nHe’s spent most of the last 23 years crisscrossing sections of Europe\, North and South America\, playing his old hobo haunts\, hitch hiking junctions\, street corners\, dive bars\, churches and run down theatres. He’s more than just an entertainer\, he’s a modern musical enigma. Imagine that David Lynch and Nick Cave had a hillbilly baby\, that yodeled… or Tom Waits meets Elvis at Woody Guthrie’s hobo junction. \nThis is just one way of describing the man known simply as Petunia. He’s an adventure seeker\, a poker player\, and a mysterious stranger. \nHe’s been referred to as “The Savior of Country Music”\, and a man who exists in a different era\, bringing the past forth as something new to be celebrated and not forgotten. \nA restless wanderer\, a musical historian\, and a quirky yet amazing talent\, Petunia joins the greats from north of the 49th for his classic style and raucous performances. He is simply a Canadian treasure.
