SUMMARY:Artist in Residence for August
DESCRIPTION:Drop into The JB Fletcher Store Museum for our next exhibit with artist Elizabeth Augsten starting on August 23. Elizabeth will be on site Aug.31 and Sept. 1 demonstrating her process. \n“My work in acrylic is a melding of light and shadows from places either real or imagined\, presented in a loosely representational style. Featuring vibrant colors and often incorporating water\, my pieces are inspired by music and aim to capture the dynamic interplay between sound and visual experience. Through these abstracted landscapes\, I reflect the inherent beauty of the environment while evoking a sense of rhythm and emotion.”

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:STOODIS Indigenous Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:In 2023\, the STOODIS Indigenous Film Festival debuted\, exploring the film industry’s “Colonial Gaze” and immersing audiences in authentic Indigenous narratives. Thomas King’s words\, “The truth about stories\, is that’s all we are\,” underscored the festival’s emphasis on the profound impact of storytelling\, particularly on youth. \nThe festival’s design draws inspiration from the Medicine Wheel\, a symbol of cultural significance\, representing life’s various facets for Indigenous communities. STOODIS aims to promote the normalization and celebration of Indigenous presence and perspectives. In the predominantly rural\, settler community in which we live\, the festival seeks to cultivate knowledge\, support\, and humanization of Indigenous people\, fostering a shared understanding of past\, present\, and future. \nIn  2024\, STOODIS will offer a celebration of diverse and compelling storytelling through film\, live performances\, and community engagement and conversations. The festival aims to showcase the work of emerging and established Indigenous artists while fostering a sense of community and cultural exchange. This year\, STOODIS will spotlight global Indigenous resistance\, excellence\, and resurgence.

SUMMARY:Author Reading: Frank and the Elephants: A Romance of the Rockies
DESCRIPTION:Richard Rowberry will be doing a presentation (reading and a talk) of Frank and the Elephants: A Romance of the Rockies at the Kaslo Library and the Nelson Museum\, 6:30 pm Sunday Sept. 29 and 7:00 pm Wednesday Oct 2.\n\nIt’s a free event! Richard will be selling copies (autographed!) if you’d care to take one home so you can find out what happened in the end.\n\n\nFrank and the Elephants: A Romance of the Rockies was a finalist for the Sunshine Coast Writers and Editors Book Awards. \n” A vivid writer conveying a strong sense of place and time. I really did feel myself in 1920s Cranbrook.  And the story\, of course\, is fascinating. Beautifully captured\, and a charming love story.” Iona Whishaw – author of the Lane Winslow Mysteries \n“Using his considerable gifts as a storyteller\, Rowberry spins a tale with equal measures of humour and humanity. So engaging are the exploits of Frank—in love and in elephants—that a reader might not even notice the meticulous research that has served to place us so authentically in 1920s small-town B.C. ” Anne DeGrace – Award-winning Kootenay Author \n“This is a hilarious tongue in cheek tale of an absurd situation in small town BC. I laughed throughout and followed along through the geography of the region I know so well. A true Canadian classic.” Bob McDonald host of CBC’s Quirks and Quarks

SUMMARY:Look Now What Ive Become
DESCRIPTION:Andrea shares her personal story of healing and transformation through creativity.

SUMMARY:Author Reading at Huckleberry Books in Cranbrook\, B.C.
DESCRIPTION:Cranbrook – Thursday\, Oct 17th – 7:00pm! Join Kootenay author and musician Shelby Knudsen as she speaks about her latest novel\, One Night Only. Knudsen has been a member of the band Wild Honey for over a decade. Her debut novel\, Mountain Girl\, was a heart-pounding thriller about forbidden love and captivity. In her second novel\, Knudsen dives into the dark side of the music industry. Kirkus Reviews selected One Night Only as the indie pick for August\, and declared “Knudsen’s novel is tense and unrelenting; the author masterfully creates an immersive\, claustrophobic atmosphere as Sky’s health\, relationships\, and sense of self become increasingly strained.” And with a Five Star review\, Reader Views said\, “One Night Only by Shelby Knudsen is a deeply affecting novel about addiction\, love\, and the magic of music. The author has intricately created a world of contrast\, one where Sky is forced to place her life (and dreams) on a hiatus and take care of herself\, and the other where she signs her future over to someone else for the promise of an enviable music career. Raw\, poignant\, and achingly beautiful—this book needs to be at the top of your reading pile for 2024!”\nShelby will be interviewed by her Wild Honey bandmate Jessica Niedermayer\, followed by a few songs by the acoustic trio. Don’t miss this special night\, celebrating local talent and music.
