What: Who are the Caretakers in your Parks?
When: Sunday, Oct. 23, 1-4 pm
Where: Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre, 969 Raymer Road
Join a community-led conversation! The Community-Based Environmental Art class at UBCO invites you to come for conversation and tea and, if you like, to make some fabulous art on Sunday, October 23.
Drop in any time between 1 and 4 PM to the Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre, 969 Raymer Road, Kelowna. We will celebrate the social and cultural values of people in parks with a family-friendly, enjoyable event led by three local artists: MFA student Tania Willard, from the Secwepemc First Nation, has worked with the Vancouver Parks board, has just won this year’s Vancouver Book Prize, and is one of five curators for the ground-breaking nationwide “art in the national parks” initiative, LandMarks2017; Chelsea Robinson is a BFA student who gathers community around food and conversation to further cultural exchange; Asia Jong is an art history student who won an FCCS research award last summer to explore cultural heritage in her community.
Join these students and artists, make some park-focussed art with them, and talk to people in the community and neighbourhood about parks and cultural and social stewardship. If you remember, bring a tea cup and help us save a paper cup!
