SUMMARY:Speaker Series with Melanie Mercier
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre at 6 pm on Wednesday\, April 24th for a conversation with landscape horticulturist Melanie Mercier about how we can rethink traditional ornamental gardens.  \nMelanie will discuss efforts to counter the alarming trend of beneficial pollinator populations and native plant decline. We’ll learn some easy steps to consciously optimize our gardening habits into ecologically-minded practices that serve to attract and support pollinators\, conserve water\, and reduce maintenance. We’ll explore the pollinator species native to the Rossland area and learn how to attract them with beautiful plants that can bridge the gap between the wild and urban landscapes. Melanie aims to plant seeds of change to cultivate a future where humans thrive in harmony with nature. One home garden at a time\, we can grow together towards a more sustainable today.

SUMMARY:"Rewired" by Sab Curtis
DESCRIPTION:The Art of Transforming Trauma into Inspiration\n“Rewired” \nArt became an unexpected silver lining for West Kootenay-based artist Sab Curtis during her transformative journey through recovery from a traumatic brain injury. Beginning to put brush to canvas as a therapeutic outlet in 2020\, Sab hasn’t stopped painting since. Sab is excited to announce her upcoming solo art exhibit entitled “Rewired\,” featuring a collection of acrylic landscape paintings inspired by her deep connection to nature and newfound passion for art. The exhibit is open to inspire visitors at Art Gallery Kimberley in BC’s Best Small Town from May 2 – 12\, 2024. \nSab Curtis\, a self-taught artist and adventure enthusiast\, discovered the healing quality of art while recovering from her injury. Drawing on her lifelong hobby of photographing natural landscapes\, Sab’s artworks reflect her personal metamorphosis and the role nature played in her recovery process—a journey she describes as confusing and chaotic. Through “Rewired\,” Sab invites visitors to experience the varied moods and emotions that have shaped her transformation\, from calm reflections to complex expressions of resilience. \nAn engineer by profession\, Sab has translated her problem-solving skills to her creative practice through cognitive “rewiring.” She explains\, “My neural pathways have transformed from analysing data to construing the mixing of hues and tapestry of brushstrokes.” \nMother Nature is Sab’s greatest muse\, continually inspiring her work through adventures by foot\, bike\, or skis\, providing inspiration for her next body of work. Sab says\, “My adventures mould me\, and each canvas becomes my journal to translate what I discover through my wanders. My art practice began as a way to feel nurtured by nature’s magnificence when I was experiencing physical and cognitive limits due to injury\, and my evolving creative practice has helped me comprehend the unplanned pivot in my life.” \nTo celebrate the opening of the exhibit\, Sab invites everyone to a lively reception on Friday\, May 3\, from 7 – 9 pm. The event will feature live painting\, audience participation in a community painting\, live music by Ivan Palomares\, and light refreshments. Additionally\, on Sunday\, May 12\, at 3 pm\, Sab will host a special artist talk during the closing reception\, with a nice treat for all mothers and mother figures in attendance. \nSab’s unique perspective and artistic talent highlight the resilience and adaptability that lies within us all. We invite art enthusiasts and nature lovers alike to experience this powerful exhibition at Art Gallery Kimberley between May 2 – 12\, 2024. Sab’s exhibit welcomes visitors from Thursday through Sunday\, 9:30 am to 4:30 pm\, and from Monday to Wednesday by appointment. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness the beauty and strength in Sab’s “Rewired” collection.

SUMMARY:"Tides" by Neal Panton
DESCRIPTION:The Art of Capturing Moments of Change\n“Tides” \nCranbrook-based photographer Neal Panton reveals his latest solo exhibit\, “Tides\,” at Art Gallery Kimberley in BC’s Best Small Town from May 16th to May 26th\, 2024. The exhibit invites viewers to explore the fleeting moments of change captured along the Pacific North Coast\, including Haida Gwaii\, the North Coast Trail on Vancouver Island\, and the Oregon Coast. \nBorn and raised in Hamilton\, Ontario\, Neal Panton developed a passion for photography from an early age. As a self-taught photographer\, a former university professor of Photography and Visual Language\, as well as a photojournalist for Reuters news agency\, Neal brings a wealth of experience and expertise to his work. His passion for storytelling through images is apparent in every piece featured in “Tides\,” creating an immersive experience for all who visit the exhibit.\nInspired by the beauty and complexity of the moments in between\, “Tides” showcases Neal’s distinctive photographic style\, reminiscent of the darkroom photography process executed through the use of modern photo editing software. Through a combination of intuition and skill\, Neal’s photographs reflect a sense of contemplation and introspection\, inviting viewers to find their own unique connection to the images. \nAccording to Neal\, photography as an art form has unique characteristics. He explains\, “In most traditional art forms\, like painting\, sculpture\, drawing\, and even etching\, you can visibly see the artist’s handiwork—the brushstrokes\, the lines\, the shaping of the material. However\, photography is different. Often\, it appears captured rather than crafted. Its construction is less clear. As an art form\, photography is also more accessible. Almost anyone can engage in photography\, regardless of their background or expertise.” \nUnlike social media snapshots\, the photographs showcased in galleries invite us to pause and ponder\, revealing deeper meaning within each frame. Neal aims to connect with viewers on a deeper level\, seeking friends who share an appreciation for the beauty and wonder of nature. \n“Tides” explores the moments in between——pauses\, transitions\, and liminal spaces where change is imminent.

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:Tammy Marcer Gallery Show
DESCRIPTION:Artist Statement \nEmbarking on a journey through the vibrant landscapes of the Kootenays and beyond\, I was awash with\na spectrum of colour and feeling that beckoned me to capture its essence. The picturesque scenery\,\nfrom verdant valleys to crystal-clear lakes\, offered a canvas unlike any other. This adventure was not just\nabout travel; it was a pilgrimage in search of inspiration for what would become my first art gallery\nexhibit: Kootenays in Colours.\nMy initial enchantment with the Kootenays was ignited by a single\, captivating photograph that\nshowcased the areas awe-inspiring beauty under the glow of an afternoon sun. This image\, alive with\nvibrant hues and a tranquil yet wild essence\, planted a seed within me. It was not long before this\nblossomed into a fervent yearning to immerse myself in these landscapes\, to see\, feel\, and ultimately\npaint them through my own lens. This anticipation of discovery\, of unearthing new vistas and hues\, was\nthe wellspring of my inspiration. The natural splendor\, and shifting seasons\, unveiled fresh palettes and\nmoods\, feeding my artistic vision and setting the stage for my journey into art.\nChoosing the right venue was critical—a place that not only highlighted the art but also echoed the spirit\nof the Kootenays. As I was born in Fernie\, so shall be my art. The Arts Station was my only choice for my\nfirst gallery show. It was an environment that promised engagement and appreciation from a diverse\naudience. The vibrant colours and landscapes that I had so meticulously translated onto canvas will be\nthe subjects of admiration and critique. This vibrant interaction will be the ultimate affirmation of my\njourney\, a sign that my canvas has become a bridge. This bridge will be the link between my inner world\nwith the outer world of others\, fostering a shared experience of wonder and reflection. I step into the\nfuture\, ready to embrace the myriad of colours and feelings that await me. \nArtist Bio \nTammy is a digital artist\, whose self-taught journey has culminated in a body of works as vibrant and\ndiverse as the experiences that have shaped her.

SUMMARY:2024 Sinixt Canoe Journey Nelson Stop
DESCRIPTION:The Nelson stop of the Canoe Journey offers community members the chance to paddle alongside the traditional dugout canoes\, discover the secrets of nature in our medicinal plant workshop\, and enjoy live performances by Sinixt Members. \nThe Canoe Journey is a powerful assertion of the belief that Indigenous peoples of the region are stewards of the river and the salmon—one of their first foods. This journey highlights the vital connection between their language\, culture\, and the natural environment. \nThis event offers a transformative opportunity for the (Sinixt) Snayckstx/Arrow Lakes and Colville people (Snʕayckstx and Sxʷyʔiłp) to reconnect with their language\, traditional territories\, and waterways. The Salmon Ceremony\, a traditional and spiritual practice\, addresses the needs of both the people and the environment. This may be one of the most significant moments in history to amplify the Indigenous community’s voice regarding our shared responsibility to the land\, waters\, and natural environment. \nLast year’s journey spanned 272 miles\, from the Head Waters of the Columbia River at Revelstoke and Two Rivers\, Washington\, on the Spokane Indian Reservation\, culminating at the Kettle Falls Fishery and traditional Salmon Ceremony site. \nThis year’s sponsors are: \nColumbia Power Corporation\, West Kootenay Regional Arts Council\, Nelson Museum\, Archives and Gallery\, The Capitol Theatre\, Real Estate Foundation of BC\, The Nelson Chamber of Commerce\, Lalin Vocal Ensemble\, Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism\, VIDEA\, BC Arts Council\, The City of Nelson\, Canadian Heritage\, The Hume Hotel. \nBelow is a full list of free community opportunities.
