Our choice of music and other entertainment is very eclectic, and this year will include world music, hip-hop, reggae, bluegrass, folk, and other acts that are a little harder to define. We also have entertainment and activities for children (who get in free if they are under age 13 and with an adult). It’s a real family festival!
Add a great selection of on-site food, a craft faire, roaming jugglers and clowns, and more, and we have the cultural event of the year in our area. Join us for a weekend of great entertainment, a safe place for kids, and a relaxed festival atmosphere.
Camping is available across the road, and there are other accommodations in the area. For more about the area and accommodation, please see our website: http://starbellyjam.org/program2011/
Come join us for an evening Showcase of all the art produced in the ANKORS 72 Hour Art Slam. There will be a silent auction with submitted art up for grabs!
The evening will begin with a reception with an art show setting. Artists who have submitted paintings, sculptures, drawing, photography etc. will be displaying art and discussing the piece with attendees. The next portion of the evening will see the performance art section of the evening. The audience will then vote by secret ballot for their favourite art submission!
Stay tuned for more information!
This summer at ANKORS, we are planning an innovative and exciting event called a 72 Hour Art Slam. An art slam is an art competition—with a twist. Purely relying on creativity, originality, endurance and caffeine, teams or individuals will have 72 hours to create and submit an original piece of artwork. Participants can submit a film, poetry, theatre, song, painting, sculpture, dance—any type of artist expression. The only rules are the theme and prop (as given at the kick-off meeting) must be present in the final product, and the deadline is absolute. There will be CASH PRIZES ($250 for 1st place, $150 for 2nd place, $50 for 3rd place)!
The competition will be held Friday August 19th to Monday August 22nd. There will then be a Showcase event with all of the art on Friday, August 26th. So even if you do not participate in the competition, be sure to come to the Showcase for an inspiring evening!
The principal objective of this event is to address the social issues and stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS in our community, while celebrating artists and art in our community. 100% of the money raised from the event goes to supporting individuals affected by HIV/AIDS, such as subsidizing health care costs. However, this event also aims to join the community together through art. By keeping the event parameters open, we hope to draw all different genres of art and artists.
This promises to be an exciting, inspiring and multidisciplinary event that will resemble a major art opening and experience. Moreover, any participant who enters a tangible art piece will be given the option (by ‘given the option,’ we really mean strongly encouraged) to donate the art work to the silent auction at the Showcase–the artist will get 50% and 50% of the auction price will go to the ANKORS AIDS Walk for Life Fund!
We are encouraging everyone to enter, and be part of Nelson’s first ever Art Slam. Tell your friends who may be interested as well!
For more information, or to register, contact Carmen or Brahm at aids-walk@ankors.bc.ca or 250.505.5506. We look forward to your entries!
The Library Lounge is at the heart of the Hume Hotel. Located just off the front lobby, The Library has a cozy, parlour-like atmosphere with a replica of the original Hume Hotel bar (complete with brass) polished and prepped for your visit.
Caryatids and original mouldings decorate the interior, as does the original monumental brick hearth and fireplace that warms the room. Full restaurant meal service is offered, as are a selection of wines, beer and spirits to complement the live jazz and other music featured nightly.
Catch up on your reading, craft a letter home, or absorb some local culture while you relax.
