Transcendence is a collection that details my personal catharsis. Art has always been my therapy – a means to overcome difficult life circumstance through the act of painting and sketching. Fantasy has always been a huge source of inspiration, being inspired by childhood movies such as The Neverending Story or The Chronicles of Narnia book series.
Over time I discovered that art can be used as a vehicle for change. Half the proceeds sold in this show will go towards Arcane Horizon – an organization that assists persons with developmental disabilities with community living supports to help them lead their best lives. I have realized that art is not just a means to change my circumstance, but can also be used to benefit the lives of others, which is the essence of this show. ~ Jacobus van Houdt

Mide-wigwas: Transmediating is an exhibit focused on the relationship of birchbark scrolls, as relatives holding both sacred and historical knowledge, to other archival media such as photographs and film. 70 years ago, the artist Angelina McLeod’s great-uncle James Redsky (re)produced a series of Midewiwin birchbark scrolls, including origin, migration, and master scrolls, telling the story of the Anishinaabeg migration from east to west. These scrolls are the only known source that conveys this history through traditional Anishinaabeg methods of knowledge record. Redsky is from McLeod’s community of Shoal Lake 40 (SL40) First Nation, and in 1966 sold his scrolls to the Glenbow Museum in Alberta.

Midewiwin pictograph birch-bark scrolls contain stories, songs, and sacred narratives (Aadizookaanag) handed down to the Anishinaabeg from generation to generation. The purpose of this exhibit is to honor the ancestors and culture by re-telling our stories through intergenerational history across media and through Anishinaabeg ways of knowing.

Angelina McLeod (Anishinaabekwe) is an emerging filmmaker, writer, and documentary subject from Shoal Lake First Nation. Angelina is a land and water defender who is passionate about sharing Anishinaabeg history, culture, languages and stories. Her research is focused on Midewiwin birch bark scrolls that were once held by her grand uncle James Redsky, WWI veteran and prominent member of the Midewiwin. Angelina directed a series of short films with the National Film Board of Canada about her community Shoal Lake 40, First Nation, the source of Winnipeg's drinking water.

We would like to acknowledge we are gathered on the original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and the Métis Nation. We acknowledge that our source of water is sourced from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation.

Electric Six and guests
The Devil has always been there. He is the great outsider, the original iconoclast. Above all else, The Devil lives to corrupt, to adulterate, to defile.
Electric Six has often used The Devil as subject matter for its songs because of that last bit, the part about corruption and adulteration.
With its fourteenth studio album Bride of the Devil, Electric Six examines the concepts of evil and corruption, humanity’s various falls from grace, the nine circles of purgatory and of course, the internet itself.
Our sound will corrupt and enslave you as the beautiful demonic bride you know you truly are.

Join Jim Blanchard as he celebrates the virtual launch of Thinking Big: A History of the Winnipeg Business Community to the Second World War, featuring a conversation hosted by Christopher Adams.

From the HBC and the Indigenous free traders of the fur trade to the establishment of companies that still exist today, Thinking Big examines the history of Winnipeg’s business development. Through profiles of Manitoba industries and personalities, Blanchard reveals how Winnipeg’s business community dealt with challenges, organized itself to take advantage of periods of growth and prosperity, and shaped the city we know today.

Jim Blanchard holds an M.A. in History from the U of M and a Library Science degree from Western University. He is Librarian Emeritus at the U of M, past president of the Manitoba Historical Society, and the author of several books on Manitoba history, including the award-winning Winnipeg, 1912.

Belugas in Manitoba: The Future of our White Whales
Did you know Western Hudson Bay is home to one of the biggest concentrations of beluga whales in the world?

An estimated 55,000 belugas (one-third of the world’s population) migrate into the Churchill, Seal, and Nelson river estuaries each summer to moult, calve and feed.

But belugas are highly sensitive to climatic changes. As the Arctic sea faces longer ice-free periods, beluga whales are becoming more vulnerable to increased ship traffic, hydroelectric development and predation from orca whales.

Join us for a webinar with Kristin Westdal, Arctic Field Research Director at Oceans North. She will discuss the latest beluga research, including the importance of belugas to the region, the biggest threats to beluga populations, and what is being done to protect these magnificent creatures.

Westdal has worked extensively on research about narwhal, belugas and killer whales in Canada’s eastern Arctic, including collaboration with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Qikiqtani Inuit Association. From 2001 to 2005 she owned and operated a kayaking ecotourism operation in Hudson Bay that offered close encounters with beluga whales.

CPAWS Manitoba wants to maintain this positive connection to nature by providing a space for Manitobans to connect online from the safety of our homes and be inspired by nature in our backyards and beyond.

Join CPAWS Manitoba for weekly lunch and learn presentations from experts across the province who will share their knowledge and passion.

West Central Women's Resource Centre
640 Ellice Ave, Winnipeg, MB R3G 0A7

It’s devastating to see the toll this year has had on women in our community:
Women have been laid off from their service-industry jobs and have nowhere to go.
Women in our city are walking around without shoes.
Women don’t have supplies to keep themselves clean and safe.
Women are struggling to access food for themselves and their children.
The need is overwhelming.

We staff the WCWRC Street Outreach Van – the only 7-day-a-week outreach services focused on women in Winnipeg. Every day we meet homeless women who are looking for safety and support, and just a little bit of connection and normalcy. By seeing many of the same women everyday, we can also check in on their wellbeing and connect them with additional services, such as housing supports and counselling.
Will you please help keep the van on the road?

Please donate today https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/14637

With your gift, you will ensure women have the support and dignity they deserve. Thank you!

The Assiniboine Valley Railway, Inc., 3001 Roblin Blvd.

The 1/8th scale railway just west of Assiniboine Park, is sad to report that the family of the AVR founder, the late Bill Taylor, has given notice that the AVR has 6 months to vacate the property.

We will likely have to put everything into storage temporarily. We will need a new home, or else will have to dissolve the AVR and sell off our assets.
All public access to the property must cease, so there will be no AVR Season this year.
If we are to continue, we will need at least several acres to rebuild on, with hydro & water, close enough to the city that we & the public have easy access. We cannot see rebuilding without public monetary support.

All of us at the AVR miss Bill since his passing in 2013, and have been honored to continue his dream hobby that has given pleasure to so many people. We want to thank the thousands of people - individuals, families and organizations, and the media - who have supported us and enjoyed riding on our Open House trains in the summer, on our Halloween & Christmas Weekend trains and sharing meals on the Dinner Train Weekends.

For more info about what the AVR has been (and, hopefully, could be again), check out our website: assiniboinevalleyrailway.org

Ełexiìtǫ ; Ehtsʼǫǫ̀ / Connected ; Apart From Each Other
By Casey Koyczan

April 30 - May 29 (by appointment, contact info@urbanshaman.org)

"Ełexiìtǫ ; Ehts'ǫǫ̀" is an interactive installation that communicates the journey of learning more about one's culture through distance education and research; utilizing and adapting to work with technology and communication tools as viable resources for learning language, tradition, stories, and spiritual beliefs.
Within my art I use every part of the materials harvested. During my early adulthood I've tried to follow the teachings of "Dene Laws”. I try to always return to these teachings as they have helped me to represent myself in a way that is common to Dene people.

ThetaHealing Manifesting & Abundance Workshop
Event by Divine Clarity and Kristel Kernaghan

In ThetaHealing®, the concept of manifesting is the Belief that it is possible to create something into the physical using the connection to the Creator of All That Is. Every statement, thought and action is reflected by what we are manifesting in our lives. If you constantly say that you are poor, you will be. It is of the utmost importance to stay on a positive mind set. But you must first decide what it is you want in your life.

This class will assist students in creating on a variety of ways in their life, as well as enable them to assist their clients in manifesting and abundance.

Prerequisite: Basic & Advanced DNA from a certified ThetaHealing™ teacher. Includes: Manifesting and Abundance Manual and Manifesting from the 7th Plane Meditation CD.
Investment: $500 plus GST (at start of class) or $550 plus GST (Installment plan). A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required at time of registration, the balance due at the start of the workshop. Students may retake workshop for $200 plus GST.

Séan McCann’s love for Newfoundland and Labrador folk songs shot him to international fame as a founding member of Great Big Sea. After millions of albums, countless hit songs, and record breaking tours, Séan realized that his 20 years with the band had to stop. 

In January 2014 Séan released Help Your Self. Séan’s journey continues through You Know I Love You. Produced by Joel Plaskett, and with an original piece of artwork per song by singer/songwriter Meaghan Smith, Séan is trying to find a balance.

Walking With Our Sisters - A Commemorative Art Installation

for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women of Canada and the United States

Opening reception and ceremony March 21, ALL WELCOME

Over 600+ Native women in Canada are reported missing or murdered in the last 20 years. Many vanished without a trace with inadequate inquiry into their disappearance or killing. This is a travesty of justice. 

Each pair of vamps represents one missing or murdered Indigenous woman. The unfinished moccasins represent the unfinished lives of women whose lives were cut short by murder. They are not forgotten. They are sisters, mothers, aunts, daughters, cousins, grandmothers, wives and partners. They have been cared for, they have been loved, they are missing and they have not been forgotten.

Moccasins are symbolic of the path a person walks in life; within some traditions moccasins are placed on the body of the person to help them on their journey into the next life. Vamps are the top part of the moccasin that often carry adornment of some type.

The numbers are currently estimated as being as high as 824 women and girls missing and murdered in the last twenty years alone.

The exhibit will tour to over 31 locations and will wrap up in 2020.

Good science, when coupled with good decision-making, keeps our water and air clean, keeps us healthy, keeps our food safe and prepares Canada for the future. Science in the public interest is crucial for our well-being and long-term prosperity.

We will be calling on the Federal government to make a strong commitment to science in the public interest by:

1. Funding scientific research from basic science through to applied.

2. Using the best available science and evidence to make the best decisions.

3. Supporting the open communication of publicly funded science to the public.

This Hisses and Powder Blue (Saskatoon) play Cluster Festival After Hours
March 16, 10:00 pm
Urban Shaman Gallery, 203-290 McDermot Avenue
$10.00 at the door

Winnipeg’s THIS HISSES’ highball of blood and glitter following
POWDER BLUE's slow burn psych rock haze.
DJs Fleur and Jonny Mexico spin you into the wee hours.

Aspects of pop culture and noise sensibilities will clash and complement each night of the festival, in performance and installation, spread over a variety of media.  Urban Shaman Gallery will be transformed into a glitched-out, crystalline space of shape, video and light by Berlin-based installation artist TSAWORKS, making his North American debut.
