ArtsConnect’s ArtsCalendar is a work in progress. Presently, we are working with a small group of arts organizations from across the Tri-Cities to develop the ArtsCalendar before we open up submissions from all arts organizations and we are not accepting direct submissions at this time. If your organization is interested in joining the ArtsCalendar in the future, please email your name, address, and a brief description of your organization to: [email protected]
This resource has been made possible through the financial support of ArtsConnect’s members. If you would like to support the further development, please consider becoming a member here: Membership

Landon Mackenzie: Weather Patterns
September 5 – November 22, 2026
Starting in the shallow tidewaters of Cardigan Bay, Prince Edward Island, Landon Mackenzie’s Weather Pattern series (2021–) 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. To begin this bi-coastal project, Mackenzie first stapled the river-soaked linen to a wooden porch on Prince Edward Island, where she applied a multitude of colours. The artist next rolled and shipped the work like a tapestry to her Vancouver studio, where she responded to the transformed surface. Each of these large paintings was enlivened from its interaction with East Coast summer tides before coalescing in the artist’s West Coast studio.
