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:Discovering the Intimate Details in Nature
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever paused to observe the intricate details in nature? Art Gallery Kimberley is proud to present Intimate Details in Nature\, a compelling photography exhibit by photographer Tracey Halladay\, in the gallery from September 9 through 29\, 2024. \nTracey Halladay invites viewers to step into a world often overlooked\, where the beauty of the Southeast Rockies is revealed in its most subtle forms. Through her lens\, Tracey captures the delicate patterns on leaves\, the soft textures of fur and feathers\, and the remarkable complexity of insect wings. Each photograph in this collection tells a story of mindfulness\, encouraging viewers to slow down and truly see the world around them. \n“I take the time to slow down and appreciate the little things around me. I clear my mind and become fully aware of my surroundings\,” says Tracey. “By looking at the big scene and gradually discerning the finer details\, I capture the essence and subtle beauty of the world.”\nWhile creating this body of work\, Tracey has noticed an increased awareness of her senses and the ability to see the elements in a smaller scene. This has also allowed her to use this technique in other areas of her photography. \nIntimate Details in Nature is more than a photography exhibit; it is an invitation to reconnect with the natural world. Tracey’s work reminds us of the treasures hidden in plain sight and the peace that comes from immersing ourselves in the natural environment. Tracey explains\, “By sharing the natural beauty and mystery of the wild places and faces surrounding me\, I encourage people to be mindful\, curious\, and compassionate towards themselves\, others\, this Earth\, and its creatures.” \nTracey\, a photographer based in the Southeast Rockies of British Columbia\, has long been inspired by the wild places and faces that surround her. Her photography is a conduit for emotion\, connection\, and passion—an expression of her belief that life is a gift to be cherished. \nJoin us at Art Gallery Kimberley for the “Intimate Details in Nature” from September 9 through 29\, and experience the beauty that lies in the small\, often unnoticed details of the world around us. The exhibit welcomes visitors on Monday and Tuesday from 10 am to 2 pm\, on Wednesday through Sunday from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm\, and starting on September 16 on Monday through Wednesday by appointment\, and from Thursday through Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm. \nFor more information\, please contact Art Gallery Kimberley at info@artgallerykimberley.com or visit artgallerykimberley.com.

SUMMARY:Beginner Hand Building Pottery Workshop

It is a way to combine my interest in printing\, painting\, drawing\, and stained glass work in a new and tactile medium.\n\nWorkshop Fees:\n$220 for VISAC members (or $250 for non-members) \nSupply Fees:\n$18 for clay\, to be paid by cash or e-transfer on the first day of class\n\nWorkshop Dates:\nMonday mornings\nSeptember 9 – October 7\, 2024 (No class on September 30th)\n11:00am-1:30pm\n\nMinimum 4 students\, with a maximum of 8.\nYouth ages 16-18 are welcome to participate\, with parental consent. \n\nWhere: \nVISAC Gallery – Under the red gallery awning\n1501 Cedar Ave\, Trail\nLower Level of Selkirk Building\n\nIf you have any questions\, reach out to info@visacgallery.com
