In the KAC Wilson House Gallery (115 Tranquille Road)
Martin Tuba
Woodland Creatures
April 1st to 28th
Acrylic & Wood
Opening Reception: March 31st, 6pm to 8pm

Highly influenced by cartoons, comics and nature, this new body of work is a different approach at creating art in the sense that he is taking raw material (a fallen tree) and working this material into a visually appealing canvas. “Woodland Creatures” are imaginary beings jumping from the canvas, and are being caught doing what they do best – hunting, gathering, fighting for dominance and just looking plain freaky!**

Martin attended Vancouver Film School in 1995 and completed the course in Classical Animation. He created two minutes short films entitled “under Pressure”, then worked in the industry for a year on the development of a thirty minutes animated series entitled “The Huggy Show”. Martin returned home to Kamloops and has been part of multiple group shows: “Shazaam” KAG (cube) 2008, “Come draw on our walls” Arnica 2008, “More Soup for You” KAG (2009), and “Serigraffiti” KAG (BMO) 2009.

Boogie the Bridge Emerging Artist Show
April 9th to May 1st
Black and white photography, graphite and charcoal drawings, watercolour, acrylic and oil paintings, ceramics and sculptural pieces
Opening Reception: tba

There are 78 students taking part in this year’s exhibition. Many have taken art since grade 8 others have joined at a later time. Some students will pursue art as part of their post secondary education while others will continue their artwork for personal pleasure. What unites these students is their interest in their work, their unique vision and their enthusiasm to learn.

Produced and curated by St. Ann’s Academy, grade 10, 11 and 12 art and photography students; Boogie the Bridge Emerging Artist Show explores visual images of personal interest and artistic vision. Exploring new sensibilities students were given the opportunity to work with the subject and medium of their choice, enabling them to capture and communicate their personal points of view. The exhibition includes black and white photography, graphite and charcoal drawings, watercolour, acrylic and oil paintings, ceramics and sculptural pieces.
