LinksIn 2007 Vanderhoof visual artist Annerose Georgeson curated a show featuring art made in response to the ways in which pine beetles have altered the Central Interior landscape. The exhibit is touring many venues in North and Central British Columbia. The festival will take place at the University of Northern British Columbia on June 11th – 13th, 2009. There will be displays and performances of original work by Prince George visual artists, writers, and musicians; academic presentations, panel discussions on the cultural economy of small cities and the culture of small cities, with a focus on Prince George; and workshops for both artists and community organizers.

More than a museum, they see greenmuseum.org as a giant collaborative art making tool.
