SUMMARY:Lands Far Away – Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us @ The Langham in Kaslo\, on Friday May 10 from 7-9 pm for the opening of ‘Lands Far Away’ by Nelson based artist Abby Wilson. Come and meet the artist and enjoy an evening of art with us! This event is free and open to everyone.\n“Lands Far Away ” pushes the boundaries between imagination and reality\, stretching familiar Kootenay landscapes into deeper fantasy worlds. Nelson artist Abby Wilson gathers reference material while hiking in the mountains\, focusing on capturing local landscapes that remind her of JRR Tolkein’s poetic descriptions of Middle Earth. Wilson’s photos and Tolkein’s phrases are used to prompt Midjourney Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, creating unique landscapes fed by multiple imaginations. Wilson revises the generated landscapes\, and then paints them in her own style.

SUMMARY:Saturday Storytime & Author Reading
DESCRIPTION:Join local author Kathryn Hartley read from her new novel Castle Mountain at The Nelson Public Library \nAuthor Reading at 10:30am \nFollowed by crafting from 11am to noon \nBook will be available for  purchase \nSynopsis: \nMOUNTAINS CAN BE MAGICAL PLACES.\nBUT DANGER IS NEVER FAR AWAY. \nThere were two things Joanie knew for certain when she woke up that morning:\n1. There was no way Mom was going to let any of them\nget out of marching up a mountain today.\n2. She didn’t want to be a part of this family any more. \nEvery May long weekend Joanie’s mom made the family do their traditional spring hike. At nine\, Joanie thought she was old enough to go stay at a friend’s instead of trudging up a mountain. But Chloe\, her annoying older sister\, and Matt\, her self-centered brother\, had both tried that before and it had never worked for them. So she knew she was doomed to do it again today. They all were. When Mom said jump\, they all jumped. Even Dad. And Dad was sick. No one talked about it but you’d have to be stupid not to notice. \nThen there was Chloe and Matt. Both teenagers. Both with attitude. The thought of spending a whole day with them\, with no escape\, made her want to turn into a little black beetle and crawl under the bed. \nThe magic and mystery of Castle Mountain will hold all their lives in its stony grip. Joanie and her family will be challenged beyond anything they have ever faced before. Will they be able to overcome what the mountain has in store?

SUMMARY:SMALL TOWN ARTILLERY
DESCRIPTION:Small Town Artillery is a rock and roll band helmed by brothers Tom and Derek van Deursen. Originally from Kaslo\, British Columbia\, Tom and Derek have been playing together for over 20 years\, with Small Town Artillery as their flagship project for the past 10. \nThey are a band that is hard to define\, but aim to accomplish many things. Hard hitting riffs of guitar and brass\, funky grooves\, soaring choruses and melodies\, and poetic lyrics are some of things that they are most known for. \nAfter a rising 6 years in Vancouver\, including headlining festivals\, multiple tours\, signing to JumpAttack! Records and releasing a full length album and 2 EPs\, the band was halted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Small Town Artillery pivoted\, and by following restriction guidelines\, booked the “Fewer Faces\, Open Spaces” tour\, one of the only live music tours during the summer of 2020 and 2021 in Canada. \nMost recently\, during some time taken off of performing the band lost a core member\, Carson Webber. He had been their dedicated Bass player for almost 10 years and his death sparked a change in how it felt to play music and what it meant to be a band. \nRallying together as a community\, and reaching out to construct a new sound and experience\, Small Town Artillery now feels itself a collective\, with members both new and old forming the current roster. \nThe Band’s successes & growth are due to their high-energy live show\, quality of original music and video\, and strong work ethic to see a childhood dream realized\, 20 years in the making.
