SUMMARY:Maddisun (Full Band) Live @ Summer Sounds 2025
DESCRIPTION:Live music concert series\, free for everyone\, in Rotary Park – the heart of downtown Cranbrook. This annual program organized and run by the volunteers of the Fisher Peak Performing Artists Society (FPPAS) will showcase local musical acts at each evening event every Thursday beginning July 3! \nAugust 21 @ 5:30pm: Maddisun \nMaddisun is a Canadian indie artist whose music reflects the big star dreams she’s carried since childhood in the mountains of British Columbia. Her sound blends soulful songwriter-folk\, rootsy rock\, and vintage textures\, and her electrifying\, heart-led performances consistently capture hearts and command attention. Performing and writing since the age of 10\, Maddisun’s relentless passion for music reflects the one thing that’s always stayed true—her deep love for the craft. \nHer new album\, The Pages\, takes a bold and unconventional route: only Chapter One is available on streaming platforms. The full album is available exclusively on vinyl\, CD\, cassette\, or radio—a nostalgic return to intentional listening for old souls and true music lovers. www.maddisunmusic.com \n“The music is powerful: themes of saying yes to yourself\, empowering yourself\, and refusing to say no. I think Maddisun takes her own advice. Her performance is driven with rhythm and energy.” – Roots Music Canada

SUMMARY:"Natural Geometry" Solo Art Exhibit by Michael Hepher
DESCRIPTION:Kimberley\, BC — September 4–28\, 2025 — Art Gallery Kimberley is proud to present “Natural Geometry\,” a solo exhibition of hand-printed artworks by Fernie-based interdisciplinary artist Michael Hepher. Known for his vibrant sense of colour\, thoughtful interpretation of the everyday\, and abilities across mediums\, Michael’s series pushes the boundaries of abstraction while using the historic art of letterpress printmaking. \nFor more than a decade\, Michael has explored the intersection of the natural and the abstract. “Natural Geometry” translates organic shapes and landscapes into layered compositions of bold colours\, overlapping forms\, and rhythmic patterns. Each work invites viewers to see the world around them in a new way—where the familiar vanishes into geometry\, and where the mechanics of nature are revealed in uplifting\, unexpected ways. \n“Letterpress printing is both ancient and tactile\,” says Michael. “It offers a human touch to abstraction—each impression carrying the honesty of an analog process while reimagining the natural spaces we move through every day.” \nWorking from his Clawhammer Press studio in Fernie\, BC\, Michael combines traditional wood and linoleum block techniques with modern design sensibilities. His limited-edition prints touch the intersection of history\, craft\, and contemporary vision. \nMichael’s career spans printmaking\, oil painting\, and illustration\, with a portfolio of acclaimed public art projects\, private commissions\, and exhibitions including All Kinds of Beauty\, a 16 x 96’ mural celebrating Fernie (2019)\, Backroads BC (Fernie Museum Gallery\, 2018; Smithers Art Gallery\, 2019)\, and In This Together\, a touring exhibition shown across the Kootenays (2021–2022). \nPlease join us in celebrating this bold and intimate exploration of how we see\, feel\, and interpret the natural world at the closing reception on Friday\, September 26\, 2025 between 6 and 8 pm with an artist talk and interactive demonstration at 7 pm.
