SUMMARY:Exhibition Tour - Weather Patterns
DESCRIPTION:Join gallery staff for a free\, drop-in tour of Landon Mackenzie: Weather Patterns. \nAbout the Exhibition: \nLandon Mackenzie: Weather Patterns \nSeptember 5 – November 22\, 2026 \nStarting 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. \nSupported by the Audain Foundation.

SUMMARY:Artist Workshop | Painted Stories of the Moon with Jordanna George
DESCRIPTION:Artist Workshop | Painted Stories of the Moon with Jordanna George \nSaturday\, September 26\, 2-4 pm \nJoin local artist Jordanna George for a creative\, hands-on painting workshop inspired by lunar themes\, reflection and artful response. \nFollow Jordanna George to view their outdoor vinyl installation\, Full Moon\, then get inspired by thoughtful reflections on the moon in the art studio. This guided painting workshop will consider colour as mood and play with lunar themes and compositions in a circular frame. \nArtists will create acrylic paintings on wooden panels that explore light and shadow\, phases of the moon\, and ideas of belonging and intuition with seasons of life. \nJordanna George is an artist of mixed T’Sou-ke and Ukrainian ancestry. Originally from Sooke\, BC\, they now live on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish)\, səlilwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh)\, and kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) nations in Coquitlam\, BC. They received a BFA from the University of Victoria in 2019\, and have since been making comics and illustrations\, exploring themes of identity\, belonging and hope\, and drawing influence from Indigeneity\, queerness and science fiction. The rest of Jordanna’s artistic practice involves painting\, printmaking and weaving. They can be found at jordannageorge.com and on social media as @raebirdart.
