Echo from the Ancestral Land – Past and Present (mixed media) Jessica Silvey and Miyuki Shinkai
Sep 26 @ 11:00 am – Oct 27 @ 4:00 pm

Since the last project in 2014 ‘Mind over Matter’ that Jessica Silvey and Miyuki Shinkai worked on together, they see themselves shifting from their art and craft making to mentoring and teaching community members about how we can engage inner selves and embrace spiritual growth through the creative learning process. Engaging with younger generations to pass their knowledge on has been a focus of their life work. Silvey and Shinkai are conscientiously walking on the path to truth and reconciliation to create unity in the community. Both feel that they are in a strong position to take a leadership role in passing their Indigenous/traditional cultural perspectives and wisdom from ancestral knowledge to the next generations. Echo from the Ancestral Land – past and present focuses on meaningful encounters and being part of a learning opportunity for viewers.

An exhibition by Jessica Silvey and Miyuki Shinkai in the Eve Smart Gallery.

Cold Wax & Oil with Sandy Kay @ gibsons public art gallery
Oct 1 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

 

Are you curious about how to use cold wax medium with oil paint? If you missed our last workshop with Sandy Kay, here’s another chance to experience this amazing way to paint with minimum commitment and maximum fun. There is a limit of 10 participants, so register now to save your seat!

In this one-day hands-on class artist Sandy Kay will demonstrate all the tools; how to blend, mix and layer the paints; how to mix paint and cold wax; and why it’s a most intriguing, joyful (and easy) way to paint! Sandy will demonstrate while you try the medium throughout the day in stages using the same materials and tools. You will leave with your very own painting and confidence in the techniques. This workshop will introduce physical texture and techniques.

Bring your own supplies (see the Supply List) or Sandy will provide everything you need for the day for a small fee ($30 for all supplies; or $15 for use of just her cold wax and tools). Tickets are $150 for GPAG members or $165 for non-members. Our last workshop with Sandy Kay sold out, so reserve your tickets soon on EventBrite!
