Local Arts

A trio of weekend performance series continues all summer long, in Sechelt, Roberts Creek and Sechelt.

The largest single award announced for the Sunshine Coast, $125,000 went to the Gibsons Public Art Gallery.  

A book released last month exploring the history of the extinct Coast Salish Woolly Dog — whose wool-like hair was a longtime mainstay of Coast Salish weaving traditions — is simultaneously a real-life mystery story and a new approach to the literature of reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous storytellers.

One of the Sunshine Coast's most versatile artists has released a new album of music shaped by the bossa nova beats of renowned Brazilian-born virtuoso Celso Machado.

An annual wilderness concert series — which this weekend will launch its fourth summer of performances — has become one of the Living Forest Institute's longest-lived outreach initiatives.

Free outdoor weekend music concerts continue this weekend with events in Gibsons, Sechelt and Roberts Creek.

Nearly half a century after the first history of Roberts Creek chronicled the community’s transformation from pastoral preemptions to thriving coastal enclave, a new book tracks the Creek’s course through the transformative ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s.

 A pair of twenty-something prodigies who have made a home on the Sunshine Coast looked no further than their own backyard when naming their musical duo.

 A monthlong exhibition of outdoor sculpture by Kate von Riesen at the Sunshine Coast Botanical Garden culminated in a two-day showcase of original works by von Riesen, Donna Stewart and Laurie Beeman, held last weekend in West Sechelt.

Free summertime music series continue this weekend with Slow Sundays in the Creek observing Celtic Sunday.
