MAC Local Arts and Culture Grant – Call for Applications

Happening Now – In Motion
Motion is a sign of life – Swami Vivekananda (Philosopher)
In physics motion is the phenomenon in which an object changes it’s position with respect to time. The world we live in is in a constant form of motion from that which we see in the everyday to the near invisible.
This applies to the most visible forms of motion from those we easily recognize of traffic passing us on the streets, dancers to deer bounding across the fields and the flurry of birds taking to the air, to that which we miss such as the slow movement of a flower moving to follow the sun, the inner workings of mechanic, the very cells that make up the world around us to the rotation of earth.
Explore the things around us that move and how the sense of motion can be captured by artist in all it’s forms with our upcoming show
Join us and see what’s in motion
Community Art Class Program – Year End Show
April 3-29, 2023.
This show will feature the works of Lumby residents who participated in the Community Art Class Program during the fall/winter. There will be works in Drawing, Soapstone Carving, Greeting Cards, Oil Painting, Fibre Art “Painting with Fabric”, Watercolour Painting, and Polymer Clay.
All participants are invited to submit their work to the Village Gallery by April 1.
There will be a final class for all participants to finish up their work on March 29th, 6-8pm at the Lumby OAP Hall. Instructors will be there to help students get their work ready for display.
Local arts volunteer Jeannette Wilding organized the program with the help of a Community Arts grant from the Monashee Arts Council.The vision was to create a program that would engage local artists in sharing and teaching their skills to the community, and to promote the advancement of the arts. The program helped to build a sense of community and support during the winter months, and provided an affordable and supportive space for people to develop their creativity.
