SUMMARY:Sarah Wilson - Guest Artist
DESCRIPTION:Currently ongoing\, closing on June 30th\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Potters Place Gallery is pleased to feature the ceramic art of Sarah Wilson for the month of June. \nSarah Wilson is a potter based in Ladysmith\, Vancouver Island. Sarah believes potters have a unique opportunity through the nature of their craft\, to bring beauty to the simplest moments in everyday life. In our fast-paced world\, where we are surrounded by mass consumerism\, objects made with intention are ever important. A huge inspiration for Sarah has always been the surrounding natural environments in the places she has come to know as home. With a background in ocean conservation\, Sarah strives to create a sense of connection to nature through her work. \nSwing by the gallery to check out her beautiful nature inspired art from 10-4 Monday to Saturday throughout the month of June.

SUMMARY:Sam Tudor Live in Concert
DESCRIPTION:The underpinnings of the songs are genre-less; jazz players join forces with Eno inspired beats while acoustic guitars meet distorted synths. What unifies the project is Tudor’s distinct voice: a sandy\, melancholic narrator\, leaning in close with confessional and cathartic writing. The band’s live show is not to be missed – moving and personal\, with both hushed tones and bombastic walls of sound. On this tour\, Sam is touring with guitarist / vocalist Lilli Carr and bassist Jasper Wrinch\, in an intimate trio set-up that focusses on the songwriting. \n“a moving and honest performance… embellished with jazz\, baroque\, and electronic touches” \n— VICE Magazine \nDoors at 8pm\, Show at 8:30pm

SUMMARY:Pivot ‘n Grow Reception
DESCRIPTION:Please consider this your invitation to the OPENING RECEPTION of ‘Pivot ‘n Grow’\, a two-person art show and sale with Qualicum Beach artist\, Linda Grieg\, and Kate Bridger! \nKate’s part of this exhibition is the ‘Pivot’ half as it reflects the new direction their work has been going in since the start of this year. \nTheir display will feature a selection of works that predate 2024\, including a few from their Made On Monday collection\, plus some 3D work\, a couple of clocks and their most recent\, more abstract\, pieces. \nALL work is specially priced for this exhibition with art produced prior to 2023 significantly reduced.

SUMMARY:Poetry & Music - With Catherine McNeil
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate Pride with Catherine as she reads from Emily & Elsbeth\, her newest publication with Caitlin Press. \nCatherine will also read from her book Under the Influence\, and sing a few tunes accompanied by button accordion and guitar. \n. \nEmily & Elspeth follows two women and their unique paths to love… and each other. Through poems that flirt with the intersections of desire\, art\, and commitment\, Catherine pieces together Emily and Elspeth’s relationship as playfully as she takes it apart.\nWeird\, wonderful\, and slightly dangerous\, this is a queer love story that’s anything but typical.
