SUMMARY:Spring Break Photography Camp with Charlotte Truant (Ages 9-13)
DESCRIPTION:Join instructor Charlotte Truant for a week of photography exploration. Participants will be provided with DSLR cameras\, learning to take photos both indoors and outdoors. Each day will begin and end at the VISAC Gallery. Depending on weather\, they may take excursions around Trail to capture photos outdoors\, or in other buildings.

I actually went to school for dental assisting and I’m a self taught photographer. I had my first little and knew I didn’t want to go back to work. During my maternity leave\, I started a Social media marketing business where I purchased my first camera (Canon Rebel t5i) so that I could take better photos for the businesses that I was running social media for. I ended up loving the photo taking part so much more than the social media part so quickly switched over to only photography. \nIf you have any questions\, reach out to info@visacgallery.com \nRegister here: https://revenue-can.keela.co/youth-photography-workshop

SUMMARY:“Uno” by Raul Pous Facha
DESCRIPTION:Meet Raul: Architect\, Artist\, and Digital Fabrication Visionary\n\n\n\n“I’m Raul\, an architect and artist of Mexican origin\, now based in Canada since 2022. My lifelong fascination with materials and manufacturing techniques has deeply influenced my approach to design. While I’ve always appreciated the artistry and individuality of handmade products\, I’ve also recognized the challenges they face in achieving precision and consistent quality.\n\n\n\nThis curiosity led me to digital fabrication\, where I discovered the power to translate complex designs into reality with precision and control. Through the fusion of technology and craftsmanship\, I am able to create pieces that retain the unique essence of handmade work while elevating their quality and accuracy.”\n\n\n\nExhibition Dates: March 10 – 20\, 2025\n\n\n\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, March 13 from 4:00pm-5:30pm\n\n\n\nGallery Hours: Monday-Friday\, 12pm-4pm\n\n\nTo learn more\, visit us at: https://visacgallery.com/exhibitions/#unoraulpousfacha

SUMMARY:KHC presents Lucy MacNeil
DESCRIPTION:Although best known as the lead vocalist (and a multi-instrumentalist) with Canada’s legendary Barra MacNeils\, Lucy MacNeil has a separate musical life from her siblings and is currently touring with her own trio. She’ll be performing a mix of traditional Cape Breton-flavoured Gaelic music and contemporary singer-songwriter material\, including highlights from her brand new solo CD\, Angels Whisper. Lucy grew up in a very musical home and was further blessed with a gorgeous\, crystalline voice. She began performing professionally with three of her older brothers when she was just 10\, nearly 40 years ago. The Barra MacNeils released their first album in 1986 and were winning awards shortly thereafter\, grabbing their first East Coast Music Award in 1991 and their first Juno the year following. These deeply traditional exponents of Cape Breton music and dance have toured regularly across North America and Europe\, true musical ambassadors for Canada. Although it’s fair to say that Lucy is the heart of the Barra MacNeils – aside from her signature vocals in English and Gaelic\, she also dances and plays a lovely fiddle – she has branched out over the years\, performing with such notable artists as the Chieftains and legendary Newfoundland singer-songwriter Ron Hynes. Her CD Angels was a pandemic project\, and the hit single that emerged\, David Mallett’s “Hope for One and All\,” delighted old fans and earned Lucy many new ones. (Roots Music Canada\, after calling her a “vibrant songstress\,” went on to say\, “The alluring Maritime beacon of Lucy MacNeil’s voice puts a simple and sincere glow of certainty on Mallett’s song.”) If you love beautiful vocals entwined with evocative instrumentation\, don’t miss this rare tour!
