Join us for a Drawing Party! Facilitated by local artist Jim Holyoak with live music by Jesse Lee.
Imagine Gallery A, filled with music and paper-lined tables and walls. In this setting, Jim will lead participants through a series of drawing exercises, followed by time to collaborate and experiment. This will be a relaxed, social evening of drawing and music with an explorative approach to the creative process. All materials will be provided.
Pre-registration is required. You can register online here. $5 for members and $10 for non-members. Ages 14+
There will be a cash bar with a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available.
From iconic restaurants like the Diamond Grill, Purple Lantern, and Mediterranean 57 to pancake breakfasts on Baker Street to fruit growing and jam making, this presentation for BC Heritage Week dives deeply (and deliciously) into Nelson’s culinary past. Presented by Greg Nesteroff and the Heritage Working Group. This is a FREE event but registration is required. Register here.

SOCIAL JUSTICE
Museums and archives are tied to a history of colonial and discriminatory methodologies that overlook the voices of many people. The Nelson Museum, Archives & Gallery is joining the global movement to recognize, respond to, and create space for, the voices that are missing from our region’s story. Our team is critically examining our policies, collections, exhibitions, and programs to ensure that everyone feels welcomed, safe, and included.
