Frame of Mind | Annual Mental Health Exhibition
Thanks to the artists who have shared their creativity, allowing us a window into their lives, struggles, and triumphs. I am indebted to Valerie Wood, Sharon Evans, and Dr. Mark Welch who planted the seed, without all of your trust and belief this exhibition would not have been possible. This exhibition also coincides with Mental Illness Awareness Week and we ask that you take this opportunity to check in with your friends and loved ones. |

Road to War | Dr. Suzanne Steele
War is a strange story to tell, for its commonalities as a public narrative, its clichés, and paradoxically, the uniqueness of the individual's experience. This installation, Road to War, is designed to reflect the destabilization of perception in the war zone, the common experience, and the personal. It is an invitation to choose a war experience by embracing silence, ambient sound, or the mediated narrative of Steele's poetry as spoken by actors and voice-overs. The footage was shot from 2008-2009, in situ, at Suffield, Wainwright, Shilo, Kandahar Airfield, and Bulunday (Kandahar Province), outside the wire, with the First Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry and Task Force 3-09. |

Champs des Visions/Fields of Visions/Blickfelder, 2015 | Dr. Suzanne Steele
Champs des Visions/Fields of Vision/Blickfelder, is a 24 minute meditation on the consequence of landscape shot solely from the vantage of the ground upwards in the battlefields, the woods, the graveyards, and the monuments to the dead of the Great War in Northern France. It was filmed during 2014-2015 by the Canadian war artist Dr. Steele (Afghanistan Task-Force 3-09) and is intended to provoke thoughtfulness into the dangers and boredom of the deadly flat landscape of the Western Front. During the Great War most soldiers, when not in kinetic combat, stared for hours and days and months and years at the sky, often not seeing the dangerous horizon, except when utterly necessary. |

Exhibition of Okanagan artist
Peggie Collins's Cross Canada Tour Gallery One-Twenty-Seven 127 Elm Avenue, Penticton You're invited to the Opening, Saturday, November 30, 1 to 7 pm In 2018, on an art sabbatical, Okanagan artist Peggie Collins crossed Canada and back (15,000 km) from the Pacific shores of Vancouver to the northern tip of Newfoundland and the cold Atlantic. She started out sharing her journey by painting in large canvases but soon realized the impracticality of such and turned to working on 4” x 4” canvas sheets which she calls her Mini Memories. Collins claims, “My Canadian Tour inspired me and gave me a special appreciation for our beautiful and varied country. I am blessed to have had this opportunity and each Mini Memories painting evokes a smile as my brush strokes lock each special story onto canvas.” On Saturday, November 30 from 1 to 7 pm, member Peggie Collins invites you to join her at the opening of her new Gallery One- Twenty-Seven at 127 Elm Avenue in Penticton. All 100 of her Mini Memories series of original paintings and more will be on display and for sale. |
