SUMMARY:Drawing in the Gallery
DESCRIPTION:DRAWING IN THE GALLERY\n \nYou are invited to draw in the gallery during this monthly Sunday session. This is an open drawing activity meant to encourage looking\, slowing down and spending time in the gallery space. Prompts may be offered\, but you are welcome to draw in any way that feels comfortable to you. There is no expectation to create a finished artwork. All drawings are welcome! No experience is necessary and supplies are provided.   \nBy donation. Pre-registration encouraged\, drop-ins welcome.\nRecommended for ages 16+. \n  \nABOUT THE EXHIBITIONS  \nLure  | June 6th – August 23rd  \nFrom subsistence to livelihood\, from sport to ritual\, fishing links people from coast to coast to coast. This thematic group exhibition includes work by Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists across Canada with ties to the Pacific\, Arctic and Atlantic Oceans\, and the freshwater bodies that flow between. Together the artists explore the complex social and cultural significance of the ancient yet everyday activity of fishing. \n  \nLandon Mackenzie: Weather Patterns | September 5th – November 21st \nStarting in the shallow tidewaters of Cardigan Bay\, Prince Edward Island\, Landon Mackenzie’s Weather Pattern series (2020–) balances chance and control to envelop the viewer in the artist’s painted worlds. Looking at the dotted sandstone-inspired canvases\, you might see a charged nervous system\, a celestial body or the microcosm of a riverbed’s speckled surface. The depth of each painting reveals the linen canvas as a site-responsive material that soaks up its environment: saltwater\, sunshine\, wind\, rain\, dew and starry nights—all become foundational materials in Mackenzie’s works. Merging paint and weather\, the canvases evoke the intimate connection between internal and external landscapes.  \n  \n\n\nREGISTER ONLINE OR AT THE BOX OFFICE:\n604.927.6555 | Open Monday – Saturday\, 12 – 5PM \n  \n

SUMMARY:Rehearsal Hall Sessions: Hair Hair Everywhere
DESCRIPTION:HAIR HAIR EVERYWHERE\nA Semi-Staged Presentation\nBy Sarv Star \n\n \n\nABOUT THE SHOW\n\n\n\nHair Hair Everywhere is a bold and heartfelt multigenerational play about a young queer Persian femme exploring her relationship with body hair through the lenses of culture\, gender\, family\, and identity. Caught between personal desire and inherited beauty standards\, she begins a journey toward understanding and self-acceptance.\n \nGuided by her eyelash—mojeh—a gentle and mystical presence\, she enters a surreal world where her body hair begins to speak. One by one\, she hears her hair: her head hair\, armpit hair\, leg hair\, and pubic hair\, each representing a different part of her being.\n \nBlending traditional rituals with imagined ones\, the play creates a rich\, sensory landscape where healing\, storytelling\, and embodiment intertwine. Through these ritual spaces\, she not only learns to listen to herself\, but also begins to recognize the echoes of her maternal lineage within her.\n \nHer journey deepens when she meets a hairy ancestor from the 1800s\, connecting her to a lineage when hairiness was being desired and celebrated.\n \nWith humor\, vulnerability\, and imagination\, Hair Hair Everywhere invites audiences to reflect on their own relationships with their bodies. At its core\, it is a story of reclaiming power\, softening shame\, and building a deeper connection to self\, lineage\, and community.\n \n\n\n\n\nSINGLE TICKETS ON SALE:\nAdult $29 | Students/Senior: $19 \nAges 14 and up\n \nContent Warnings: personified body hair\, discussions of sex\, gender\, and the human body\nBOX OFFICE: 604.927.6555 | Open Monday – Saturday\, 12 – 5PM

SUMMARY:Music Series: Sultans of String
DESCRIPTION:SULTANS OF STRING: CHRISTMAS CARAVAN\n\n \n  \nABOUT THE SHOW \n\n3x JUNO nominees and 7x CFMA winners Sultans of String are an “energetic and exciting band with talent to burn!” (Maverick Magazine UK). Thrilling their audiences with their genre-hopping passport of Celtic reels\, flamenco\, Django-jazz\, Arabic and Cuban rhythms\, Sultans of String celebrate musical fusion and human creativity with warmth and virtuosity. Fiery violin dances with rumba-flamenco guitar\, while bass and nyckelharpa lay down unstoppable grooves. Together acoustic strings meet electronic wizardry to create layers and depth of sound.\n \n \n \n\n  \nABOUT THE ARTIST \n\n\n\nBandleader and Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal recipient Chris McKhool (Jesse Cook\, Pavlo) comes by global roots music through deep ties to his ancestry – his father’s name would have been pronounced Makhoul in ancestral Kfirmishki Lebanon\, and his Egyptian-born mother happened to play piano\, teach classical theory and feed her young son as much music instruction as she did Middle Eastern cuisine. From there\, the powerful violinist developed a taste for multi-genre string sounds and found a like-minded crew of all-world enthusiasts. When McKhool first heard the rumba rhythm of founding guitarist Kevin Laliberté (Jesse Cook)\, their musical synergy created Sultans of String’s signature sound – the intimate and playful relationship between violin and guitar. From this rich foundation\, the dynamic duo grew\, featuring such amazing musical friends as in the pocket bass master Drew Birston (Chantal Kreviazuk)\, singer to the stars Rebecca Campbell (Jane Siberry\, Parachute Club)\, and the virtuosic nyckelharpa playing of Saskia Tomkins (Celtic music consultant for the Broadway hit Come From Away). \n  \n  \nEqually at home in a concert hall\, music festival\, folk or jazz club\, the Sultans have gigged at JUNOfest\, the legendary club Birdland in New York\, Celtic Connections Festival (Glasgow) and London’s Trafalgar Square. Sultans of String have also collaborated with such diverse luminaries as Paddy Moloney & The Chieftains\, Sweet Honey in The Rock\, Richard Bona (Paul Simon)\, Alex Cuba\, Béla Fleck\, Crystal Shawanda and Ken Whiteley. \n\n\n\n \n  \n\nSINGLE TICKETS ON SALE!\nAdults: $50 | Seniors: $46 | Students: $19 \n  \nBOX OFFICE: 604.927.6555 | Open Monday – Saturday\, 12 – 5PM
