SUMMARY:Bridging Conversations
DESCRIPTION:We are a group of six Comox Valley visual artists with varied backgrounds and life experiences. For the past few years we have been meeting monthly to share stories of challenge\, inspiration\, and creative processes. Conversations that go off in unexpected directions have created a space of shared reflection resulting in connection. \nBridging Conversations celebrates individuality woven into community—a visual manifestation of stories exchanged and growth witnessed and experienced. We are abstract artists; we are representational artists. We paint with different mediums. Our work ranges from nonobjective to figurative\, from boldly expressive to quietly meditative. We come from diverse cultures and have followed varied artist paths. What unites us is our commitment to the belief that art is a vital tool for connection. Stories that tie together with threads of curiosity and identity open up our individual worlds to one another\, and the effects of what is known as adjacent possibilities (the inadvertant shift in what is possible resulting from an action taken) come out on the canvas. Despite our differences\, we bring the “other” inside our boundaries. \nDivision often dominates headlines\, as the world is quite fractured. We share what happens when people come together with open minds and creative hearts. Through this exhibition\, we invite viewer into our circle—to feel the energy of collaboration\, the vulnerability of shared experience\, and the beauty of seeing the world through multiple lenses. For it to be a full conversation there is a ‘call and response’ involving the artist and the viewer\, as happens in an exhibit space. We learn and grow separately and together. We welcome this opportunity to present a curated selection of paintings reflecting the whole of our experience.

SUMMARY:ES:MO live in Campbell River
DESCRIPTION:ES:MO is Elizabeth Shepherd and Michael Occhipinti\, two imaginative genre-defying musicians who create music that is uniquely their own. ES:MO fuses a love of songwriting with the inventive musicianship they’re known for as perennial Juno Award nominees (19 JUNO nominations between the two!) and veterans of the Toronto music scene. \nMichael Occhipinti’s huge palette of sounds and versatile skills has made him one of Canada’s most admired guitarists. He leads jazz orchestras\, plays afro-pop\, R&B\, funk\, and Sicilian folk music\, and does it all with finesse\, curiosity\, and virtuosity. He’s played with Bruce Cockburn\, Bill Frisell\, Trey Anastasio\, Laila Biali\, Andrea Bocelli\, the Toronto Symphoni and many more. \nElizabeth Shepherd is a classically trained pianist who turned to jazz through her love of old-school hip-hop. She’s been hailed as “wholly unique and unclassifiable\,” a “jazz virtuoso with a pop sensibility” blaring the boundaries between jazz\, R&B\, pop and hip-hop. Her soulful and ethereal voice and keyboard work stunned listeners on ES:MO’s debut album The Weight of Hope\, which received a JUNO nomination in 2022. The album was built around the duo’s unique interpretations of songs by Stevie Wonder\, Bruce Cockburn\, Jackie Shane\, Nick Drake and others. \nThe second ES:MO album SUNSHINE IN MY BONES which comes out just before this tour is a celebration of the duo’s own compositions built on hours of jam sessions\, found sounds such as washing machines\, improvised voice and guitar loops\, and the magical connection Elizabeth and Michael have when they create music together. Their thoughtful songs explore everything from war crimes to cruise ship class warfare\, love among tulips\, and the need for human connection. On the recording they’re joined by guest drummers Larnell Lewis\, Jinu Isac\, Tony Ferraro\, and Marito Marques. For this west coast tour they’ll be joined by Tony Ferraro on drums and Derek Fillippo on bass.
