Poetry Reading and Book Launch

Artful the Gallery

Join host Kelly Madden at Artful : The Gallery for the poetry reading and book launch of Ed Varney and Dan Kirk. Guest poet Kristina Campbell will also join the reading for an entertaining trio of Comox Valley Poets. Ed Varney was inspired to become a poet during his second year of University and has followed that idea over the past 60 years. Along the way he has learned printing technologies, publishing strategies, book binding skills, graphics and fine arts, arranged exhibitions, edited anthologies, founded small poetry magazines and published over 20 books and chapbooks of his own poetry. Varney reports that poetry continues to engage him and new poems emerge on sheets of paper in his studio. Varney’s latest chapbook is ‘Crossroads’, published by the Poem Factory. It follows the path that thought takes as it expresses itself in words and how those words morph into poetry. Dan Kirk has spent extended periods of time over the past 20 years reading American poets William Stafford, Robert Bly and Emily Dickenson, Spanish poets Antonio Machado and Juan Ramon Jimenez, Swedish poet Tomas Transtromer and Norwegian poet Olav H. Hauge. They have informed and inspired Kirk’s writing in an ongoing conversation where he has responded to, argued with and extended their words and ideas and brought them into his world. This volume ’Still Talking’ represents a distillation of his ongoing dialogue with these poets and others who evoke a response. Kirk founded and ran the Red Tree Poetry Series and co-produced the first two Cascadia Poetry Festivals in Cumberland, B.C. with Adelia MacWilliam and Ed Varney. Reading in locations around Vancouver Island and Kelowna, Daniel has enjoyed the varied audiences for poetry in these communities. Kristina Campbell is an artist and therapist who has lived in the Comox Valley since 2017. In 2020, Campbell established Artful : The Gallery to provide a home base for her multi-media art practice which includes painting, poetry and experimental film. Campbell has reached back through her Danish ancestry to bring the Nordic gods to her mythopoetic sensibility as an artist. Campbell’s style is an expression of her belief that using mythological imagery can inspire and lead to the creation of new narratives. Campbell’s fascination with mythology, symbols, memory and dream imagery is a unifying theme throughout her work. Kelly Madden is a Vancouver Island poet whose writing is raw, unflinching, and deeply rooted in place. She speaks for the overlooked: those lost to the overdose crisis, those unhoused, and the ecosystems we continue to erase. Her work has appeared in numerous publications supported by the League of Canadian Poets, Reckoning, SAPPzine, Island Writer’s Magazine, CV2, The Poet, Drift, Drunk Monkeys and elsewhere. She is currently working on her second collection of poetry.

St Georges United Church

After the resounding success of the Strathcona Symphony Orchestra’s (SSO) start to the 2025/26 season with December performances at Courtenay’s Filberg Centre, the SSO Music Director, Kenji Fusé, is offering concertgoers a collection of well-known chamber orchestra works from Bach, Mozart, and Respighi, and chamber music from other invited guests, including the Comox Valley Flute Choir. The concert program, titled Intimate Voices, will be performed one night only at Courtenay’s St. George’s United Church on March 14 th . Tickets will be available on the SSO website, https://strathcona-symphony-orchestra.tickit.ca/ , later in January. “The Respighi piece, Suite No. 3, offers audiences a bit of Mediterranean sunshine during our late winter season, and the Mozart Symphony 40 in G minor is a personal favourite, one of the supreme classics of the entire orchestral repertoire which must be experienced live,” said Mr. Fusé. “Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 is such a joyous piece that I enjoy playing it anytime, anywhere.” “The Brandenburg is also special in that each of the ten performers plays a unique, important solo part,” he said. “The last movement in particular is extremely fun to perform and listen to live, and it will be an opportunity for the string players of the SSO to shine!” “Chamber music is the basis for playing music with others,” he added. “All orchestral musicians learn tremendously and deeply when they work on chamber music. This concert offers the musicians a chance to grow musically and as performers.”

Artful the Gallery

Each month singer/songwriters gather to share their tunes at Artful : The Gallery. The range of abilities, experience and genres welcomes musicians who appreciate the challenge (and the deadline!) of creating a new song each month. The circle provides a place to be inspired, seek feedback and to be able to hear what other creatives are working on. Most musicians bring along their guitars or ukuleles, although some sing a cappella or use the in-house piano for accompaniment. Host Ashley Sykes’s love of connecting with other artists provides motivation to write and perform in the supportive group. The circle does not provide instruction; it provides an opportunity to perform your song, and to be impacted by others doing the same. Attendance is by donation ($10 or pwyc). The group welcomes newcomers, and the only criteria is that the songs performed are original.

Artful the Gallery

On Saturday, March 21st, Courtenay printmaker Clive Powsey is having a one day pop-up exhibition of hand-drawn, printed and tinted intaglio impressions at Artful : The Gallery on Cumberland Road in Courtenay. Powsey has used a ‘savage’ rigorous prompt to elicit critique and assessment of hundreds of his prints from the large language model, ChatGPT. Only the highest scoring images will be included in the show, the content of which was decided by AI. Also on hand will be the prompt, an artist statement outlining the metrics of selection, a curator’s statement generated by ChatGPT, and samples of the critiques which are, of course, mindless probabilistic arrangements of words determined by the prompt and the training of the model on vast amounts of art historical and critical writing. There will also be a folio of rejected images and sample critiques for comparison. The show’s name comes from the title of a 1967 poem by Richard Brautigan*. Beyond any questions that might exist regarding the art imagery, the exhibition asks the question of visitors, ‘How does human judgment and sensibility fare against that of machines?’ Visit the show and decide what you think.

Unglued! Collage Creativity Gateway Workshop
Sun, Mar 22 10 am – 2 pm

Unglued! Collage Creativity Gateway Workshop

Artful the Gallery

Creating with existing images can lower our inhibitions (which is great for those who want to be creative but don’t consider themselves ‘artists’) providing a playful experience of creating with curiousity and openness to the unexpected…just for fun! We will use existing images, scissors, gluesticks and our imagination to complete several projects, both independently and collaboratively. All levels welcome and all materials supplied. Collage is an art as old as paper…which is coming up on 2000 years. Collage is a great ‘gateway’ creative activity – it doesn’t require any technical proficiency beyond using a glue stick…the word collage comes from the french word ‘coller’ – (Koo-Lay) – to glue. Some of you have created scrapbooks or dream boards, most commonly made by cutting out magazine images and then gluing them to a backing. This workshop uses those same techniques in a collaborative and playful way. We will make three different collage projects. The first will be a collaborative collage poem, using words. This will become the inspiration for our second project, an individual (and perhaps a little surreal!) landscape. Our final project is called Exquisite Corpse, a collaborative art technique created by the surrealist artists in the 1920’s, where participants add to the composition without seeing the previous contributions. The combined result is often delightful, humorous and unexpected. Unglued is just for fun, having some creative time with other people, and learning a few techniques that you can use either by yourself, or with your friends and family. I will have all the materials required, just bring your enthusiasm. Email: [email protected] to register $75 workshop fee ($25 bring a friend discount)

Limo Wreck- Tribute to Chris Cornell / Soundgarden at The Waverley Hotel

2692 Dunsmuir Avenue, Cumberland, BC, Canada, British Columbia V0R 1S0, 2692 Dunsmuir Ave, Cumberland, BC V0R, Canada

Limo Wreck- Tribute to Chris Cornell / Soundgarden When five of the most easygoing, seasoned musicians came together, they had one simple goal: to celebrate the music of one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Enter Limo Wreck—a powerhouse tribute to Soundgarden and the unmistakable legacy of Chris Cornell. From the thunderous grooves to the mind-bending guitar work, from the intricate time signatures to the soaring, soul-stirring vocals, Limo Wreck doesn’t just play Soundgarden’s music—they embody it. This isn’t just a tribute; it’s a reverent and electrifying experience, delivering the raw intensity, haunting melodies, and undeniable power that made Soundgarden a defining force in rock history. The lineup is stacked with talent: Steve Plantz (Lead Vocals & Rhythm Guitar) – With an uncanny ability to channel Chris Cornell’s raw emotion and staggering vocal range, Steve commands the stage with every note. Murray Atkinson (Guitar) – A current member of The Odds and virtuoso guitarist whose searing solos and sonic textures capture Kim Thayil’s magic note for note. Devon Hart (Guitar) – A dynamic player who brings the grit and depth that defined Soundgarden’s iconic dual-guitar attack. Grant Baird (Drums) – The rhythmic powerhouse who drives the band with precision, passion, and the perfect dose of chaos. Ryan Steele (Bass) – Laying down the deep, brooding grooves that anchor the band’s massive sound. With their combined experience spanning decades, Limo Wreck is more than just a group of musicians—it’s a brotherhood built on a shared love for one of rock’s most legendary bands. Whether delivering the dark, hypnotic energy of Fell on Black Days, the relentless force of Rusty Cage, or the soaring intensity of Superunknown or Slaves and Bulldozers, they bring every note to life with authenticity and heart. For fans of Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog, and Chris Cornell’s solo work, Limo Wreck is the ultimate tribute—an unapologetic, high-voltage homage to one of the most influential voices in rock history. Box Office: 8:30 Show: 9:30 Pub open all evening. Tickets: https://waverley.tickit.ca/
