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

Open Air Performance Series: Norine Braun
Norine Braun is an award-winning Métis and Two Spirit singer-songwriter from East Vancouver, known for her soulful vocals, introspective lyrics, and genre-blending mix of roots, blues, and folk. With 15 commended albums, Braun continues to craft emotionally resonant music that explores identity, belonging, and transformation.
Her latest release, A Hero In The Wind, and the album’s title track was written in honour of her birth father—anchors an album recorded in a remarkable way: the first five songs were captured live-off-the-floor in just one hour each during Steve Dawson’s Henhouse Pop-Up Sessions. The result is a raw, immediate, and deeply human collection that reflects love, reconnection, and reclaimed heritage.
Braun’s earlier concept album Journey Toward Wholeness chronicled her reunion with her Métis family echoing Braun’s lived experience as an adoptee embracing her Métis heritage. and earned support from the First Peoples’ Cultural Council. Her environmentally themed Songs For Trees was named one of The Vancouver Sun’s “5 Albums You Need to Hear.”
