Opening Reception | Paintings: Marie Hines Cowan's Musings Selected Stories


Marie Hines Cowan is a figurative oil painter; mythology informs her work, which depicts the marriage of colloquial and classical culture. Color, light and passion are the fuel and the result is bold and colorful, painterly, but also graphic and illustrative. Her paintings are narrative, often life size, they are representational, but not constrained by realism, with colors that push further than the average eye sees.

Concert | Canadian Musicians: Joel Plaskett / Spirit of the West / Lights


Celebrate Canada’s 146th birthday with a showcase of top Canadian talent. With countless awards to their credit, Joel Plaskett and his band The Emergency, have performed thousands of tour dates, and completed numerous recording and producing projects. Joel is quickly becoming one of the most innovative and prolific artists on the scene today. When electro-rock sensation Lights first hit the music scene in 2008, she was just a songwriter with a synth and a dream. The following year, she won the Juno Award (Canada’s Grammy) for Best New Artist, on the strength of her debut EP alone. Her latest release, Siberia Acoustic, is an album which strips down her normally synth and electronic-heavy music to the bare bones, showcasing her strong songwriting and soft melodies. The band that became Spirit of the West began as a Folk trio called Evesdropper in Vancouver 30 years ago. After churning out 13 albums, the group has achieved a status as one of the most beloved artists in Canadian history.

This remix encompasses language, music, and visual projections of healing and hope.
