Emily Carr's Neighbourhood: 
Walking Tour with Robert Amos and Tour of Carr House by Jan Ross

After the James Bay neighbourhood walk and tour of Emily Carr's family home, enjoy a reception featuring an exhibition of paintings inspired by Carr by visual arts students from Grenfell Campus, Memorial University of Newfoundland. There will also be a book launch of Emily Carr: The Incredible Life and Adventures of a West Coast Artist (cover and introduction by Robert Amos) and we'll also feature Laurie Carter's book Emily Carr's B.C.: Vancouver Island. Both Laurie Carter and Robert Amos will be in attendance to sign books, answer questions, and chat! Light refreshments included.  

Laurie Carter is an award-winning writer and photographer whose work appears in books, newspapers, magazines and online. In recent years she has devoted her research to BC’s most beloved artist and author, Emily Carr, travelling the province with new purpose. Along the way she’s learned history, met amazing people and gained even greater admiration for the iconic person she regards as an important role model for women today.

Emily Carr's B.C.: Vancouver Island

Emily Carr was an epic traveller. She covered more than 20,000 kilometres in British Columbia during a time when women rarely set off on their own—certainly not with the intention of visiting remote aboriginal villages. While this wanderlust and fearless sense of adventure fuelled her reputation as an eccentric, it also propelled her to become the artist and author we revere today.

Laurie Carter set out to rediscover Vancouver Island by following Carr’s path, delving into the home life, landscapes and First Nations traditions that shaped the woman and her work. Emily Carr’s B.C.: Vancouver Island is a personal journey to a new perspective, an exploration of Vancouver Island’s best-loved destinations and all-but-unknown outposts, and a fresh take on evolving life in this province.

Robert Amos graduated from York University in Toronto, Amos has pursued a career in the arts. He was Assistant to the Director of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria (1975-1980) and is art writer for the Victoria Times-Colonist newspaper, which has published his weekly column on art since 1986. He is a full-time professional artist. Robert Amos’s paintings are part of the permanent collection of the City of Victoria, the University of Victoria and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, among others.

Good Advice for Artists



Ingrid Mary Percy drawing in the forest near Ucluelet. December 2014.
 

You will have to experiment and try things out for yourself
and you will not be sure of what you are doing.
That's all right, you are feeling your way into the thing.

Great Pure Spaces


 

Abstract Sketch Lawren S. Harris 1936

37.9 x 30.2 cm
oil on beaverboard
Purchased 1973
National Gallery of Canada (no. 17614)

-on paintings by Lawren Harris...

I have never felt anything like the power of those canvases.
They seem to have called to me from some other world, sort of an answer to a great longing.
As I came through the mountains I longed so to cast off my earthly body
and float away through the great pure spaces between the peaks,
up the quiet green ravines into the high, pure, clean air.
Mr. Harris has painted those very spaces,
and my spirit seems able to leave my body and roam among them.
They make me so happy. 

- Emily Carr 


Gaining Strength

In the forest by Chesterman Beach, Tofino, BC. Photo: Ingrid Mary Percy

Look at the earth crowded with growth,
new and old bursting from their strong roots
hidden in the silent, live ground,
each seed according to its own kind...
each one knowing what to do,
each one demanding its own rights on the earth...
So, artist, you too from the deeps of your soul...
let your roots creep forth, gaining strength.

- Emily Carr

CAREY NEWMAN is a Kwagiulth artist. Born on February 15th 1975, Carey is prominent among the younger generation of native artists.Under the influence and support of his father and mother, Carey developed his artistic ability and cultural knowledge from an early age. Artistry is in his blood. His father Victor, his great, great grandfather Charlie James, and his great aunt Ellen Neel, are all renowned wood carvers. Being of British and Kwagiulth/Salish descent, Carey has been able to draw upon each of these cultures for his inspiration. While this does add a contemporary flare to his work, he is very careful to adhere to traditional rules and values. Finding ways to change without disregarding history is extremely important to him. Carey is always looking for ways to improve his artistic repertoire. Mastering as many techniques and mediums as possible is one of the keys to his continual inspiration.Wood, stone, gold, silver, gems, glass, and painting are mediums that Carey works with. A dedicated artist, Carey's goal is to follow the footpaths of his mentors: his father, for his belief in artistic integrity, quality, and self-respect, and Bill Reid, for his ability with many mediums.

All About Emily Film Night at Cinecenta
  
$4.75 - $7.75

Sit back and enjoy the scenery! Each screening will feature two beautiful films on the life and work of artist and author, Emily Carr. Michael Ostroff's feature length film Winds of Heaven: Emily Carr, Carvers, and the Spirits of the Forest is a visually stunning piece of cinematography that is as much a portrait of the rainforests and landscape of this geographic and cultural region as it is a portrait of the artist.

Jill Sharpe's Bone, Wind, Fire (NFB) is a 30 minute visual portrait of three of the most important and iconic female artists of the 20th century: Georgia O'Keefe (Bone), Emily Carr (Wind), and Frida Kahlo (Fire). The film places the audience inside the head of each artist by recreating their distinct, visual surroundings and marrying these visuals with voice overs of words from the actual musings and writings of the artists.

Both films will sweep you away and are a must-see for artists, art and beauty-lovers, alike.
