The Calgary art-rockers dart between prog and new-wave rock rhythms and synth-led dance pop\, tethered by commanding melodies and current concepts\nMeg Benedict’s vocal\, sax and synth stylings are underpinned by guitarist Alex Klipper’s thoughtful and driving riffs; Matthew Lowe’s infectiously melodic bass lines; and Peter Cormier’s diamond-cut drumming and backup vocals. With them\, there’s always something vivacious\, heady\, danceable and thought-provoking to chew on.\n\nSteven Gevenich\, better known as Honeydripper\, is an old hand at new tricks. As a music producer\, multi-instrumentalist\, and DJ\, he has been blazing the frontier of Canada’s burgeoning deep house scene. Profoundly influenced by Chicago house music\, Honeydripper draws elements of jazz\, funk\, and soul into a mature catalogue\, that focuses more on subtly and feeling than reaction.

I actually went to school for dental assisting and I’m a self taught photographer. I had my first little and knew I didn’t want to go back to work. During my maternity leave\, I started a Social media marketing business where I purchased my first camera (Canon Rebel t5i) so that I could take better photos for the businesses that I was running social media for. I ended up loving the photo taking part so much more than the social media part so quickly switched over to only photography. \nIf you have any questions\, reach out to info@visacgallery.com \nRegister here: https://revenue-can.keela.co/youth-photography-workshop URL:https://www.wkartscouncil.com/event/spring-break-photography-camp-with-charlotte-truant-ages-9-13/ LOCATION:VISAC Gallery\, 1501 Cedar Avenue\, Trail\, V1R 2J5 CATEGORIES:Calendar,Kid Friendly,Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://genexsites.s3.ca-west-1.amazonaws.com/05/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2025/02/20175557/Photo-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="VISAC Gallery":MAILTO:Info@visacgallery.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250320T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250320T200000 DTSTAMP:20260531T065950 CREATED:20250303T193104Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250321T003207Z UID:12652-1742486400-1742500800@www.wkartscouncil.com SUMMARY:Spring Fling FREE Thursdays DESCRIPTION:Come on down to the Nelson Museum on Thursday evenings\, where you can visit the galleries\, museum\, and shop for FREE. 4-8pm every Thursday.
