Rossland Youth Week JOSEFIN SVENBERG Rossland News
Art Show The Opening Night Gala of the Rossland Youth Art Show took place in the Rossland Art Gallery on Friday the 2nd of May. It was a bubbling evening with snacks by donation and a great turnout. The art will be in the gallery until the 11th for everyone to see. Hung in two different categories, grade 6-9 and grade 10-12 with a People’s Choice Award in both categories. Connor Dunham won the grade 6-9 award with his piece “Blood Moon” and Annicka Dixon-Reusz won the grade 10-12 award with her piece “Converse”. They both received $150. Runner Ups were, grade 6-9, “Bird” by Jonah Winckers, Grade 10-12, “Kootenay Goddess” by Jordie Yurychuk They received a youth week prize package consisting of 4 tickets to the Secret Life of Walter Mitty, 2 tickets to Red Talks, a YAN t-shirt and a YAN sticker. The Gathering consists of four wooden sculptures carved by Liam Barnes, Connor Britton, Jake Fantin, James Klemmensen, Devin Knox and Julian Zimmer. They came up with the concept of the sculptures and actualized the idea with help from the adults: Colin Taylor from 3 Tree who helped with concept, donated the wood and did wood prep. Mike Williams, master carver, mentored youth carving skills. Theshini Naicker, Rossland Council for Arts and Culure, helped with coordination and narrowing the design. Mike Kent, YAN Coordinator, recruited youth, helped with design and coordination. Liam Barnes was at the Opening Night Gala and was describing the idea about the concept. It is a part, a beginning, of a greater installation called Random Acts of Culture. The idea is to place art on random spots at random times in the area. The idea comes from Random Acts of Kindness but is here about art and culture to bring a greater awareness and appreciation to art.
