“Exploring the Foundations” A Playful Introduction to Painting
2026-04-11 09:00 - 2026-04-12 15:30 (America/Vancouver) | Eric Cardinal Hall, 930 Chamberlin Rd, Gibsons, BC, V0N 1V1, Canada
If you’ve been wanting to begin (or rekindle) your painting journey, join me, Marlene Lowden, for a gentle, joy-filled 2 day workshop designed for beginners and anyone craving a brush-up. Together we’ll dive into experimentation, explore mark-making, and uncover the 7 elements of design—those essential building blocks that support every painting you’ll ever make. We’ll play with colour, shape, line, value, texture, and form in ways that are accessible, supportive, and fun. Most of the exercises are rooted in my abstract painting practice, but this workshop is open to those who prefer more object-based work; we are simply building your creative toolbox.

Raven's Cry Theatre: Film Showing: The Outrun
2026-02-19 14:00 - 16:00 | Local Park, 123 My Street, Anytown, V0N 1A0
UK/Germany 2024, 117 min, Drama
Director: Nora Fingscheidt
Starring: Saoirse Ronan, Paapa Essiedu, Nabil Elouahabi
Rona, brilliantly played by Saoirse Ronan, tells us that “the past follows us.” But can we outrun our past demons and find redemption?
After living a wild life in London, Rona returns to her home on the wild Orkney Islands to overcome her alcoholism and to find the strength to rebuild her life. While still shouldering the burden of growing up with a bipolar father, as well as struggling with her own addiction issues, Rona finds her way to rehabilitate herself through her work as a biologist, the support of her mother, and the kindness of her neighbors.
Based on a memoir by Amy Liptrot, this is ultimately an uplifting story of atonement and the healing power of nature.
