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!
Gates open at 8AM. August 3rd & 4th will be early entry days. Festival guests arriving before 8 am on Wednesday August 3rd will not be allowed entrance to the grounds.
It is a family-owned and run business, supported by a core staff of friends who love what they do – which is putting on a world-class electronic music festival for our 10,000 friends.
Shambhala is, and always will be, completely free of corporate sponsorship and is funded solely by ticket sales. It grew organically by word of mouth – friends bringing friends – from a gathering of 500 or so in ’98 to the small city of 12,000 it is today. Ticket sales are capped at 10,000, keeping it an intimate gathering. A dedicated crew of 2000 keep our city, the largest city in the West Kootenays for five days, running smoothly.
Shambhala is held annually in early August on the pristine Salmo River Ranch, and boasts 6 uniquely themed stages. We aim to bring you the best in up & coming electronic music talent from around the globe every summer, along with well-known favourites.
Shambhala is a celebration of music, art and life. And while we lay the groundwork, the festival is what you, our guests, make it. You are the most important piece of the puzzle. You set the tone of the vibe. In your kindness to fellow Shambhazens, your laughter, your creative costumes; you have the power to make Shambhala the best it can be, for yourself and everyone else on the Farm.
You are a part of this community. You belong.

Interactive theatre and community dialogue exploring issues of addiction in our communities.
Each spring for the past four years, a group of home educated children aged 4 to 16 has gathered under the direction of Jeff Forst to produce a play. This year, the cast of thirty-two kids has been practicing since January for A Rockin Tale of Snow White, a musical take on the traditional fairy tale.
This year’s production will take place April 8 at the Covenant Church in Nelson with two shows: a matinee at 4:00 and an evening show at 7:30. Tickets are by donation which help pay production costs.
What started as a loosely organized group of home educating moms and dads trying to provide theatre opportunities for their kids has now turned into a highly anticipated spring event, with both shows typically selling out. This year’s show has grown to include a musical director, Paul Prappas, as well as director Jeff Forst. Mothers and fathers help as well with production, costumes, set design and musical accompaniment.
Past performances included The Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan and Twinderella, which marked the first year the group performed a musical. This year’s production, A Rockin Tale of Snow White, is also a musical. The players are putting in extra hours singing practice with musical director Paul Prappas to make sure they are ready for the April 8th performance.
