Art Show Opening at Museum

Friday, May  12, at 7 pm at the Kitimat Museum & Archives

The Kitimat Museum & Archives invites you to attend the opening reception of Anna M Cullen’s’ art exhibition, ‘These are a Few of my Favourite Things’, a collection of select mini-series and favourite artworks.

🎨Anna’s paintings radiate with colour and vibrancy showing us glimpses of the special moments in life that are often overlooked. The saying ‘take time to smell the roses’ comes to mind as you move around the gallery taking in the light – and delight – of Anna’s work!

The show opens at 7 pm in the Upstairs Gallery of the Kitimat Museum & Archives, and will run until June 10th. Anna will be in attendance to answer any questions about her work and her creative process. Refreshments will be served, and the second floor is accessible via lift.

Still Space in Nature Sketch Programs at Kitimat Museum

There is still space available for Nature Sketch sessions on June 5th and 19th, for ages 13 to 18.

The sessions are FREE, with supplies included. This is an outdoor nature program that focuses on observing local ecosystems and sketching what you observe. Register at the Kitimat Museum & Archives today.

Sketching nature promotes knowledge, understanding, and connection to the environment, and the act itself is a mindful one: taking the time to stop, look and sketch can be a useful tool for managing anxiety and depression.

Nature Sketch, a Bateman Foundation initiative, aims to inspire appreciation of the natural world using a pencil and a sketchbook, offering a cultural lens for exploring the outdoors. You will learn about the wildlife and different habitats using established eco-literacy principles and sketching inspiration from world-renowned artist and naturalist Robert Bateman.
