As the light fades\, the air becomes crisp and the sky transforms from golden hues to soft ethereal glows from the moonlight. The creatures of the forest begin to stir; Owls\, with their piercing gazes\, are echoing through the trees. Foxes\, emerge from their dens in search for a snack. Moose and elk\, with their majestic antlers and gentle eyes\, step into the clearing and roam out from the shadows of the forest. \nThe Exhibition will be highlighting the beauty of the Elk Valley area from dusk to dawn inspired by her experiences around Elk Valley\, BC. Her paintings will be highlighting the serene quiet and mystical forests to the wildlife roaming the area such as elk\, moose\, foxes and rams in oils on canvas. \nArtist Bio \nShea Caughlin\, born in 1992\, is a self-taught wildlife artist who draws deeply from her personal experiences in nature. Born in Nova Scotia\, grew up in Ontario and Alberta\, now resides in beautiful British Columbia. \nSince moving to Elk Valley over a year ago\, Shea has been so incredibly inspired by her surroundings that she picked up her paint brush after 15 years and hasn’t put it down since. Working from her home studio\, she draws inspiration by day; walking the trails of ancient forests\, discovering hidden lakes\, and observing wildlife around her home\, to capture every detail by night at her easel. These peaceful surroundings around Elk Valley has helped solidify her love for nature and wildlife and is shaping her future as an artist. Shea’s current medium is oil on canvas. \nInsta: @artistsheacaughlin URL:https://www.wkartscouncil.com/event/when-the-sun-goes-down-a-gallery-show-by-shea-caughlin/ LOCATION:601 1st Ave\, Fernie BC CATEGORIES:Calendar,Exhibition/Speakers ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://genexsites.s3.ca-west-1.amazonaws.com/05/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2025/04/20175347/NEWSLETTER-IMAGE-2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250424T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250424T200000 DTSTAMP:20260403T144703 CREATED:20250423T200929Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250424T221607Z UID:14225-1745517600-1745524800@www.wkartscouncil.com SUMMARY:Jon Burden LIVE @ Backroads Brewing DESCRIPTION:This talented Guitarist and Singer/Songwriter Brings his unique North Americana Sound to the Brewery.

The exhibition takes inspiration from the scenery of the West Kootenays. \nExhibition Dates:\nMarch 27 – April 24\, 2025 \nOpening Event:\nMarch 27\, 2025 \nEvening Hours:\nApril 15\, 2025 \nGallery Hours:\nTuesday-Thursday\n12pm-4pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtist Statement:\nIf I am asked how long it took to paint a picture\, I would reply\, “Thirty-five years to learn how\, and a few hours to put paint on paper”. It is a long process to master the media of watercolour and even after all this time\, something can still go wrong. I’m still learning and developing my style. \nAbout Dan Ashman:\nDan Ashman was born in British Columbia in 1956 and started his foray into art in High School by painting in oils. He moved to Trail to work as a Metallurgical Engineer at Teck and took up watercolours in 1987 during a night school course led by fellow engineer and local watercolour artist\, Brian O’Hara. Subsequently\, he attended workshops with Les Weisbrich\, a watercolour artist from the Slocan valley\, and Kiff Holland\, a watercolour artist from the lower mainland. Otherwise\, he is self taught. \nDan joined the Trail Art Club in 1988 and helped to establish the VISAC gallery. He was a member of the “Thursday Night Painters” when it was led by Bob Ross. His work has been shown in Art Club exhibitions\, the VISAC invitational show\, showings of the Thursday Night Painters both in Trail and Spokane as well as juried art shows. He has sold a number of paintings including one to St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver. \nAs an avid outdoorsman\, Dan was inspired by the captivating scenery of the West Kootenays and began to capture local scenes in watercolour either painting “en plein air” or in his studio. He is also an amateur photographer and uses photos from his travels as subject matter. Now retired\, his recent works include landscapes from the West Kootenays\, the Canadian Rockies\, Hawaii\, and Atlantic Canada.

This dance event takes its name from the neon-soaked urban sprawl featured in William Gibson’s seminal novel Neuromancer. Night City is a chaotic\, hyper-commercialized metropolis where shadowy corporations dominate\, technology permeates every aspect of life\, and the streets pulse with danger and opportunity. This event aims to capture the essence of that world—a fusion of cutting-edge technology\, rebellion\, and underground culture. The soundtrack will feature vintage and contemporary releases from the genres of acid\, darkwave\, ebm\, electro\, industrial\, and techno\, all with a distinctly dark retro futuristic sound.\nNIGHT CITY pays homage to the cultural and social influence of cyberpunk\, a subgenre of science fiction literature. Cyberpunk reflects many of our anxieties about late-stage capitalism\, depicting dystopian worlds where powerful corporations and wealthy elites exploit technology to control society and accumulate profits. However\, it also showcases hope where underground resistance utilizes that same technology to fight back. This duality of technology as both oppressor and liberator is one of cyberpunk’s core messages. Similarly\, electronic music genres like darkwave\, ebm\, industrial\, and techno emerged as forms of cultural resistance. These underground styles reject commercialism\, celebrating non-conformity\, and rebellion. Both cyberpunk and these musical movements create spaces for freedom and liberation in a profit-driven world. \nLocation: Oxygen Art Centre \nAddress: 320 Vernon St Unit-3 (alley entrance)\, Sinixt təmxʷúlaʔx (Nelson\, BC) \nDate: Saturday April 19\, 2025 \nTime: Doors at 9:30pm\, Show at 10pm \nTickets: $20 advance (link in bio)\, $25 door \nDJs: \nDOSE. @dose.productions \nEMERENCZ @emerencz \nJAKOB @jakobsounds \n-No forms of bigotry\, harassment\, or hate will be tolerated\n-Consent is mandatory\n-Celebrate responsibly\n-Please contact us if you have any accessibility requirements\n-Capacity is limited\, secure your spot in advance\n-No one turned away for lack of funds (pwyc) \n#cyberpunk #film #acid #darkwave #ebm #electro #industrial #techno URL:https://www.wkartscouncil.com/event/night-city-w-dose-emerencz-jakob/ LOCATION:Oxygen Art Centre\, 320 Vernon St Unit-3\, Nelson\, British Columbia\, V1L 4E4\, Canada CATEGORIES:Art,Calendar,Community Events,LGBTQIA2S+,Live Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://genexsites.s3.ca-west-1.amazonaws.com/05/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2025/03/20175445/Night-City-April-19-KOOT-CALENDAR-01-scaled-gpygjC.tmp_.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="JAKOB":MAILTO:jakob-sounds@protonmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250419T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250419T233000 DTSTAMP:20260403T144703 CREATED:20250401T175538Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250413T055712Z UID:13629-1745092800-1745105400@www.wkartscouncil.com SUMMARY:SWIPE RIGHT >>> A DRAG SHOW DATING GAME DESCRIPTION:LIVE> LAUGH> LOVE> IMPROV \n\nFeaturing! \nSHIRAZ DIVILLE & LBEE \nELLA LAMOUREUX \nSLEEZY DAN \nMISTER.

Musically precocious\, Wesli was still in his teens when he began to establish an international reputation as a performer and arranger. At age 21 he won a scholarship to study music in Montreal\, and that has been his base ever since. After impressive collaborations with celebrated diasporic musicians such as Senaya and Sara Rénélik\, Wesli began recording his own CDs\, with Rapadou Kreyol winning a 2019 Juno for World Music Album of the Year (one of many awards he’s received). Delving ever more deeply into Caribbean and African groove-based musical forms such as reggae\, Haitian voodoo\, rara\, Afro beat\, and hip-hop\, Wesli creates music that is highly danceable\, but also has political and cultural insights embedded in messages of hope\, truth\, and peace. “You want to say something useful to society\, not just entertain people\,” he explains. Latterly\, this gifted vocalist and multi-instrumentalist has taken a deep dive into the Creole culture of Haiti\, resulting in the well-reviewed CD Tradisyon\, which focuses on Haiti’s acoustic and traditional roots music. This charismatic\, effortlessly uplifting performer will be in full flight in Golden as he takes to the stage with his electrifying – and very international – seven-piece group. According to New York-based arts-and-culture daily Nippertown\, “This crackling band had the crowd jumping out of their seats. Complex but never busy\, they came across as an extremely seasoned unit dedicated to escaping gravity and inviting us along for the ride.” URL:https://www.wkartscouncil.com/event/khc-presents-wesli/ LOCATION:Golden Civic Centre\, 806 10th Avenue S\, Golden\, BC CATEGORIES:Calendar,Live Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://genexsites.s3.ca-west-1.amazonaws.com/05/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2025/04/20175410/Wesli_Band2-1-1024x587-1.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250419T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250419T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T144703 CREATED:20250416T172054Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250416T172054Z UID:13996-1745078400-1745085600@www.wkartscouncil.com SUMMARY:Lil’ Mikey Presents: Cry Bébé’s Dub in the Pub @ Backroads Brewing DESCRIPTION: An unhappy hour dub set with the Number one Saddest Sound in Town.
