LinksThe festival took place at the University of Northern British Columbia on June 11th – 13th, 2009. There were 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. Local artists and arts organizations were in the spotlight as they shared audiences, networked, and built new partnerships with one another.
UNBC hosted its inaugural art exhibition in the Rotunda Gallery located in the atrium in the lab 4 building. This show featured established and emerging regional artists who are investigating notions of home and sense of place. The opening included music and light refreshments.
This online museum emerged from artists' experiences making environmental art and from seeing firsthand some the challenges facing artists, community groups, nonprofit organizations and arts institutions when it came to presenting and discussing environmental art. More than a museum, they see greenmuseum.org as a giant collaborative art making tool. Stewart and Tracy Turcotte, owners of Hambleton Galleries, state that since its establishment in 1964, the Hambleton has provided an extraodinary showcase for leading Canadian artists whose works presently grace many national and international private and corporate collections. Judith has selected paintings featured among the eclectic works at the gallery, located in the Okanagan Valley's city of Kelowna, British Columbia.
The Two Rivers Gallery is located in Prince George, B.C. They offer programs and exhibits featuring regional and international artists. My series, "Geographies" , was exhibited there from May 23 to August 10, 2008.
