Our final artist of the evening is Charlie Rae Wal Our final artist of the evening is Charlie Rae Walker (Aka A Raven Called Crow). Charlie is a multi-disciplinary artist hailing from Unceded Lekwungenand Wsanec Territories (Victoria BC) and Gadigal/Darug territory (Sydney, Australia). An art activist and an artists’ artist with a passion for self and social transformation, Charlie brews antidotes to the sad poisons of our times with meaningful connection, unrestrained creativity, vulnerability, curiosity and laughter. Their visual and performance art is so engaging that the lines begin to blur between reality and magic.
When Karen Jonsson spent her childhood summers exp When Karen Jonsson spent her childhood summers exploring the shores of Lake Winnipeg, collecting rocks and unearthing the clay beneath, an alchemist was born. Discovering the lustrous colours of the stones and watching her small clay creations withstand the heat of the campfire was the training ground for the gifted artist she has become - moulding that clay into pottery and capturing the unending beauty of the great outdoors with her camera. The magic she discovered as a child continues to leave her in awe and filled with a passion to share that with us. Karen Jonsson is much like that clay - there is an ancient, sacred quality afoot that is so much more than meets the eye. Karen will be selling pottery at the holiday showcase and sale tomorrow. See you there!
The crooked trail from graphic artist to paramedic The crooked trail from graphic artist to paramedicine and back has returned Sigrid Zueff to her first passion-visual art. With glass and photography replacing splints and defibrillators she courageously follows her heart into these art forms. Sigrid will be selling her photography and glasswork at the Members' Market!
Performing at 8:30pm with members of her improv gr Performing at 8:30pm with members of her improv group, The Unglüd, is Kiva Simova! With the precision of a laser beam Kiva Simova exhibits her mastery of advanced overtone singing, whereby she splits her voice into two pitches simultaneously. When this pioneer improvises wordless soundscapes, be they ambient or raucously rhythmic, Kiva leaves you in awe. She applies this art form to genres where one would not expect such innovation. Few in the world have mastered this technique, and even fewer deliver it with as much soul - as Kiva’s peers attest. From solo CDs and film soundtracks, backing up pop mega- group Crash Test Dummies, folk trio member of the Wyrd Sisters, to Letterman and Saturday Night Live, to the Royal Albert Hall, and the steppes of central Asia, - Kiva heals and howls.
Armed with the inspiration of the Group of Seven a Armed with the inspiration of the Group of Seven and decades of exploring the visual arts; Heather Gillespie delights in capturing the beauty of the boreal forests. Her dedication to light and shadow – colour and bold brush strokes – is the key to the magic of the wild captured for a moment by her brush. Her invigorating and expressive compositions celebrate the vibrant life of nature’s stillness and transport us toward dreams amongst the trees. See Heather's work this Friday in the Members' Market at our holiday party. Dec 6, doors open at 5pm, 245 McDermot Avenue
Jessee Havee will perform with Nation of Two at ou Jessee Havee will perform with Nation of Two at our holiday party and AMYC showcase this Friday at 7:20pm! With both Grammy and JUNO awards to her credit, Canadian singer/songwriter Jessee Havey has been a musical force for close to two decades. After touring the world as the unforgettable voice behind The Duhks, she has chosen to dedicate her next few decades to using that magnificent voice to lift us up - validate us - and remind us that we are of the light. She comes home from playing huge festival stages to honour us with a more intimate connection - drawing us in to her passion for social justice and mindful self empowerment. With a voice both soaring and sensitive, Jessee wraps you in a blanket of love and sends you off to make this world a better place. These days, her main creative endeavours are folk duo Nation of Two, a new kid’s music project, as well as serving as the Vice President of Girls Rock Winnipeg - an empowerment through music program for female, trans, two-spirit, and gender expansive youth and adults.
If you could imagine what colour joy might be - yo If you could imagine what colour joy might be - you may well find yourself lost in one of Earl Rina’s paintings. Blessed with both a male (Earl) and female (Rina) name by his Filipino family - he freely pursues the whimsical and entices his viewers to join him there. His adventures into colour can shed light into the darkest of places - leaving a trail of positivity and beauty in his wake. A life long learner, Earl’s passionate approach to his art should come with a warning - joy can be contagious! See Earl Rina's work this Friday at our Holiday Party Showcase and Sale!
Music, visual art, theatre...what more could you a Music, visual art, theatre...what more could you ask for? That's right - literary arts! ⁣ ⁣ Meet Lauren Carter who will be reading an excerpt from her newest novel, This Has Nothing To Do With You, at 7:50pm.⁣ ⁣ Since reciting her first original story - The Girl with Green Hands - at the age of four, Lauren’s been a writer. That well-constructed tale made her mother grab a pen to take dictation but once Lauren learned to make letters herself she took to the page. Now represented by a prestigious Toronto literary agency, she is the author of four traditionally-published books and has had work appear in multiple anthologies and periodicals. A gifted teacher, Lauren also holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing and a college certificate in teaching adults and regularly facilitates workshops and retreats across North America and online, including yoga and writing retreats, all designed to generously and authentically help individuals deeply connect with their creative work.
And now presenting the playwright, Tyler White! W And now presenting the playwright, Tyler White! With a diagnosis of dyslexia that stopped her from writing until her early fifties, Tyler Joy White knows how hard it can be to believe in yourself. Shifting from a social work career, where she helped hundreds of people discover their hidden potential, she has found joy as a playwright, writing humorous, real-life stories, that challenge limiting beliefs, and inspire people to reach beyond what they believed possible for themselves. Full of humour and heart, her first full-length play, The Pickle Jar, tackles limiting beliefs about aging, and shows that we are never too old to live a vibrant, exciting, passion-filled life.
Not only will there be music and visual art, but t Not only will there be music and visual art, but theatre too! Alison Palmer will perform a scene from Tyler White's beautiful play, The Pickle Jar at 7pm. You won't want to miss this! Shining her light on the unseen and perhaps forgotten beauty buried in the realities of the day to day, Alison Palmer leads her audiences to the essence of life. A multi-faceted artist, she is at home as easily on stage bringing such stories to life - or behind her easel creating images of beauty. Strong French routes inform her devotion to culture and social justice, and with over two decades in education and theatre, she is as powerful on TV or in film as she is working with community groups. Alison is an actress, a visual artist and the changer and the changed all at once.
Another AMYC artist participating in our members m Another AMYC artist participating in our members market this upcoming Friday is Kirsten Schroeder. The day Kirsten Schroeder discovered poured painting was the day an artist was born. The exquisite juxtaposition of the primary acrylic colours flowing together opened a door into a world full of mystery. Ever since Kirsten has been dedicated to artistic exploration, producing original abstract works rich with blended hues unattainable by brush or computer. Deeper exploration has led to a unique pressing technique that forms the basis for most of her paintings. For Schroeder each piece is a product of divine collaboration between the universe, artist, medium and onlooker - and thus is the cycle complete.
The paddle carves the water as the kayak follows t The paddle carves the water as the kayak follows the shoreline in search of stillness. The sun warms the paper and with the rhythm of her brush she records the moments in front of her. Jo’s art will engage your senses through expressive brushwork and a variety of mediums. She connects the viewer with the Chi around us. “Every living thing has a soul, a spirit or a life force” Jo believes. “Each shares a unique and individual reason for being and each is necessary for another to exist.” The movement in her paintings capture that energy force of being alive, of breathing, of co-existing in a complicated tangle of personalities.
Selling glasswork and jewelry is Interlake artist, Selling glasswork and jewelry is Interlake artist, Heather Dawson. Aiming for excellence, Heather creates and shares happiness through the bright and vibrant colours of kiln-formed and stained glass. Dynamic and engaging, her passion for sharing the process is delivered with warmth and assuredness. She is masterful in her detailed work and genuine in her approach and love for creativity.
As a trauma-informed Art Therapist, Jess Winnicki As a trauma-informed Art Therapist, Jess Winnicki bears witness to the transformation in others and in herself as she bends over her potter’s wheel and molds the clay into vessels of containment. Healing manifests in that containment - and art is the leavening agent that feeds the growth of the adults she works with as they traverse the circuitous route of recovery. With both feet firmly planted in a base of spirituality and mindfulness, Jess works in service to social justice, practicing from a place of curiosity, non-judgment, empathy and respect. If you watch closely you will see Jess Winnicki wearing the cloak of the ancient sacred art of healer. Jess will be selling pottery at the holiday showcase and sale! She will also be around if you have any questions about her art therapy practice. Next Friday, 5-9pm, 245 McDermot Ave.
As a quiet force for good in self-expression and b As a quiet force for good in self-expression and breaking down stigma, Ryan Dyck will win you over with his unabashed honesty – drawing you in with his story and his art. Ryan is an inspiration to those who struggle with mental illness, having learned to say “Yes” to supporting himself and his passion for drawing. His unique sense of humour is just one of the tools in his tool box that he uses to reach out to his community- cutting a swath of healing that opens up opportunities for us all. See Ryan's work at our holiday party and AMYC Showcase Decber 6th.
Introducing Mariza Schneider-Vieira who will be se Introducing Mariza Schneider-Vieira who will be selling their pottery and visual art at the holiday party market! Imagine a world not constricted by gender - where pronouns do not carve out one’s path. This is the space Mariza aims to live in. Using reality as a jumping off point, they paint dreamlike worlds into existence. Based on the truth that our inner emotional landscape informs our connections with each other, Mariza uses their art to bridge that gap, envisioning strong and supportive communities. Their pottery collects our universal stories day in and day out - turning the ordinary nature of everyday objects into the extraordinary - bringing both comfort and nostalgia.
