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:Ballet Kelowna The Cowboy Act Suite and Other Works
DESCRIPTION:The Cowboy Act Suite and Other Works – Capitol Season\nAdult $38\nSenior $34.50\nUnder 30 $20 \nBC Touring Council’s Artistic Company of the Year Award \nBallet Kelowna is honoured to have received the 2024 Artistic Company of the Year award from the British Columbia Touring Council.\nThe nominators wrote: 
”Over the past decade\, the ballet world has undergone rapid transformation led by a new generation of visionary Artistic Directors. Several regional ballet companies have evolved and earned their place among those actively commissioning some of the most innovative dance creations in Canada. Among these trailblazing companies is the winner of tonight’s award. \nCameron Fraser-Monroe’s The Cowboy Act Suite is a work that explores the dichotomy between “Cowboys and Indians.” While these caricatures have been portrayed on pages\, stages\, and in films\, they are often penned from a colonial perspective. Fraser-Monroe’s intuitive take on the swashbuckling strut of the Cowboy informs this intellectual unpacking of a one-sided lens and flips the script to ask\, what happens when an Indian directs the Cowboys through their history? The Cowboy Act Suite will be paired with two other signature works from Ballet Kelowna’s repertoire.
