​Join Cat Sivertsen for her Artist in Residence workshop: learn how to create an artists book. No experience necessary, just an open heart to play with materials and methods to create your own artists book.
An artists book is a book created by an artist and not a biography about an artist. It is experimental in the media and methods, it could tell a story – or maybe not. It is always beautiful, unique and relevant to the maker and, of course, the viewer.
The workshop will begin at the hardest part and that is, getting started and, as such Cat is delighted to share some of her ‘tricks of the trade’. These are based in simple drawing, printmaking, collage and writing processes to help you get your pencil, pen, brush and materials onto paper. You will then combine those into a take away as an artists book. The best part is you take home these tricks and exercises as part of your creative making practice.
​
Join Cat for an enjoyable morning of playing with materials and methods to create an artists book. No experience necessary, all materials are included and pre-registration is required as there are limited seats. You DO need to bring a packed lunch and an open heart for play.

About the Comedians
Dino Archie
Dino Archie is a stand-up Comedian, writer and occasional actor born in America – in Fresno, CA. He now makes Vancouver, BC his home base. Dino Archie made his late-night debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and was featured on Adam Devine’s House Party. He was a New Face at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal and was the winner of the 36th Annual Seattle International Comedy Competition. He has released four comedy albums including his first one-hour special self-produced and self-released in the pandemic Summer of 2020!
Chris Griffin
Chris Griffin is one of comedy’s most dynamic storytellers. After winning his regional round of the Great Canadian Laugh Off during his first year of comedy, Chris did something crazy. He quit his full time job, sold his house and hit stages across North America doing what he loves best – drinking and making people laugh. It was a gamble that has paid off. His move to Vancouver has brought a ton of success for Griffin, including winning 1st place in Vancouver’s Yuk Yuk’s Competition, being one of the only Canadian comics to ever make the finals of the prestigious San Francisco International Comedy Competition, performing every year at the Just For Laughs Northwest Festival and sharing the stage with notable comics such as Norm Macdonald, Doug Stanhope, Tom Papa, Ari Shaffir and Bert Kreischer. 2018 is already off to a great start as Griffin was nominated three times and took home one award in the inaugural Vancouver Comedy Awards.

Drum Circle for Drum Run Adventure Tour
2023-09-28 19:00 - 21:00 | Moose Lodge #1051, 745 1st Avenue West, Prince Rupert, BC V8J 1B2, 745 1st Avenue West, Prince Rupert, British Columbia, V8J1B2, Canada
Drum Run is coming to Prince Rupert on September 28th! Take part by joining the drum circle!
The Drum Run Adventure Tour, presented by the Rhythm of Life Society and led by Founder and Executive Director Lyle Povah, is a 1,500 km run and 25-city drum circle tour throughout BC. Our mission is to fundraise for the Child Life Department at BC Children’s Hospital. In partnership with BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, we seek to “Help Kids Shine.”
Along with a dedicated team of volunteers, Lyle, an international musician, is leading the tour. Since 1991, Lyle has brought a weekly drumming and music program to kids, families and staff at BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. He is also an endurance athlete who has run many marathons, including the Boston and Great Wall of China marathons, and recently completed the “Vancouver 100”, a 100-kilometre ultramarathon.
The focus of Lyle’s decades-long career as a musician and Drum Circle Facilitator has been on promoting all aspects of health. A Community Drum Circle becomes the container within which people gather together to drum in community. An event like the Drum Run Adventure Tour seeks to bring health and well-being to the community.
The Drum Run Adventure Tour launches in Victoria on September 10 and makes its way throughout the province, returning for a Closing Ceremony at BC Children’s Hospital on November 21. Throughout the tour, Lyle will run 1,500 km and stop in 25 communities to host drum circles.
The tour will cover four legs:
1) Vancouver Island (to the West) – Victoria, Duncan, Nanaimo, Qualicum Beach, Courtenay, Campbell River
2) Highway of Tears (to the North) – Prince Rupert, Terrace, Hazelton, Smithers, Burns Lake, Fraser Lake, Vanderhoof, Prince George
3) Okanagan (to the East) – Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Vernon, Kelowna, Penticton, Osoyoos
4) Lower Mainland (to the South) – Hope, Mission (TBC), Abbotsford, Port Moody, Vancouver
Drumming and drum circles are fun, family-friendly events that bring communities together and connect people. In addition, research shows that drumming strengthens the immune system, produces feelings of well-being, and helps release emotional trauma. Drumming also induces deep relaxation, lowers blood pressure, and reduces stress. We would like to invite your community to join us to drum and have some fun!
By helping The Drum Run Adventure Tour, your city will be supporting BC Children’s Hospital Foundation in their efforts to improve health care for children in the province. If you would like to know more about our project, please visit drumrun.org and help us spread the word within your community. Everyone can donate to this cause at gofundme.com/f/help-children-in-british-columbia-to-thrive
