SUMMARY:February Speaker Series with Bill Hanlon: The Ice Man from British Columbia
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Rossland Museum at 6 pm on Thursday\, February 22nd to hear the story of this discovery of North America’s oldest preserved human remains from Bill Hanlon\, one of the hunters who found them. Entry by donation. \nOne day in August 1999\, three men were hunting sheep in Northern BC when they came across something unexpected: human remains and sundry artifacts – a hat\, a knife\, a bag – emerging from a melting glacier. Archeologists and Indigenous representatives were called in and determined that the remains were of an Indigenous boy in his late teens who had died at least 150 years earlier. Members of the local Champagne and Aishihik First Nations named the unknown man Kwäday Dän Ts’inchi: Long Ago Person Found. \nMore info/RSVP at rosslandmuseum.ca/news/2024/bill-hanlon

SUMMARY:Jolene Miner Gallery Show
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception of “APPLE SKINS” by Jolene Miner @joleneminerart⁠Enjoy brand new paintings in person\, complimentary snacks\, good company & the Arts Station bar ⁠⁠ARTIST STATEMENT:⁠I was a hesitant painter. I wanted so deeply to create something authentic and real that I often⁠got in my own way. I wanted it to be raw and true and full of richness\, and those wants kept me⁠stuck in the thinking phase. I needed a way to dissolve my creative barriers\, and I embarked on⁠a journey to find it.⁠I resolved to connect deeply to the intuitive part of myself and create a process that supported⁠an unselfconscious spontaneity. This meant embracing my vulnerabilities and what I felt⁠compelled to create without questioning it. I found myself wanting to explore a shape that⁠presented as something aware and vaguely human but with all the layers stripped away;⁠something that could express the feeling I wanted to explore but without the distractions of a⁠traditional subject. The simplicity left me free to act without hesitation. Layering and the⁠subtleties of glazing became key elements as I discovered I was drawn to translucency and an⁠element of emergence that played against bold lines. I immersed myself in the layering of rich⁠areas of color\, thick strokes of white under glazes\, repeating shapes from hand carved stamps⁠and linework created by activating watercolor pencil with medium. As I worked\, I found that a⁠story naturally started to emerge.⁠Apple Skins is me removing my layers\, peeling them away in a long\, bouncy curl and⁠embracing what I find. Candid. Sweet. A little bit weird. It’s the fruits of a spontaneous creative⁠process. By embracing the exploration of my unselfconscious creative impulse\, I use color\,⁠line\, pattern and texture through acrylics\, inks\, wax\, watercolor pencils and mark making tools.⁠I layer and build. I remove and expose. I create a space to be vulnerable\, to feel without⁠judgement and create without barriers.⁠I invite you to see it and feel it for yourself.⁠
