This popular annual Under 100 exhibition has typically attracted large numbers of visitors when it opens. It is more important now than ever that we limit numbers inside the gallery to ensure a safe environment for staff, volunteers and visitors.

You will also leave with a goodie bag of fine chocolates, your tax receipt, and any art you wish to purchase, which can be gift-wrapped for free in the Arthouse.

For your safety (and ours), This access will be limited to only eight visitors at a time. We can no longer offer wine or refreshments or provide live music.
Mask-wearing will be required, safe-distance moving around the gallery will be monitored. Extra sanitizing will take place between each group of visitors. The Gallery's HEPA air filter unit will be operating throughout.

Curiosity Breath ~ Movement ~ Sound

Join Jeffrey C Sorensen and the breathARMY community in the lovely Lake Country Art Gallery for an evening of curious exploration into breath, movement and sound.

Breathwork will be the main modality of the evening, accompanied by meditation, mantra, dance, sound healing and more 

SPACE IS LIMITED!!! Sign up at https://www.breatharmy.com/store
It is recommended that you purchase your ticket soon to avoid disappointment!
Can't wait to see you there!

Jeff is the founder of breathARMY. His mission is to educate, inspire and empower others to live to their true potential. He offers tools to break through the structures that hold us back from living and expressing that potential in the world. Jeff has studied, trained and practiced with some of the world's leading breathwork and movement facilitators. Wim Hof, Patrick McKeown, Brian Mackenzie, David Shannahoff Khalsa and Jhenneviev Heartt are a few of the influences that have led to the creation of breathARMY, a unique offering of breathwork, meditation, movement and exposure to natural stressors that help us to regain our own true nature. Jeff also works as a paramedic for the British Columbia Ambulance Service and resides in Victoria, BC.
The current exhibition at Lake Country Art Gallery:

On the Eighth Day, is an exhibition of works by Julie Oakes and Christian Bernard Singer that explores the act of creating as inherently linked to the ability to destroy in order to bring about harmony and peace, or chaos and loss. As we grapple with the climate crisis and a world pandemic, humans are being given an opportunity to review our relationship with the land that we were given, but on which we are merely passing tenants.
COVID distancing regulations will be observed. These special protocols/guidelines do not necessarily reflect our beliefs but we, as community space holders, want to be able to keep gathering and to minimize risk for the collective, so we need to adhere to the rules and guidelines set out by health authorities.
Thank you for sharing the responsibility with us:

*Do not attend if you are feeling unwell at all or have any symptoms
*If returning from an out of country trip you are required to self-quarantine for 14 days
*Sanitize or wash your hands upon arrival at the event and again before leaving (sanitizer will be provided)

*Unfortunately, no shaking hands or hugs or physical contact while at the event, anywhere onsite
*Bring only essential items you need with you
*If you wish to wear a face mask please bring one with you

Artist Talk: An Ekphrastic Poem

2/25/2020

 
Picture
​Join us for tea and a talk at the LCAG on Saturday, March 7th, from 1 - 3 pm. We will be discussing the work on display during the Ekphrastic Poem Exhibition with artists Michael Griffin, John Waite and Lois Huey-Heck, as well as Jude Clarke and John Lent.

The term ‘ekphrastic’ originates from a Greek expression for description. The earliest ekphrastic poems were vivid accounts of real or imagined scenes. Through effusive use of details, writers in ancient Greece aspired to transform the visual into the verbal. Later poets moved beyond description to reflect on deeper meanings. Today, the word ‘ekphrastic’ can refer to any literary response to a non-literary work.

This exhibition, An Ekphrastic Poem, asks you, the viewer, to be the poet. Give ekphrasis a try…
*pick an artwork from this exhibition
*start a conversation with art work, ask questions, invent a response
*reflect on details in the work
*tell a story
The poem can take on any form, haiku, limerick, sonnet, narrative, you decide.
