For Immediate Release



Destanne Norris *Fresh! AIR* Artist Presentation Rescheduled

Thursday, July 23, 7 pm at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre



The Caetani Centre and Allan Brooks Nature Centre partnership welcomes
local Silver Star and Vernon artist Destanne Norris into its Fresh! AiR
Residency Program for the 2015 June-July residency.



Her project “Whether from the Centre” comes from her fascination with the
weather formations and light in the sky and translating them into paintings
that depict both the inner and outer experiences of the land - both
‘inscape and landscape’ simultaneously. Her project will take the form of a
multi-paneled 6’ X 8’ painting, will explore “weathering” and “whethering”
directly as metaphor for inner and outer life.



Destanne will give an artist presentation on her past work and current
project at the ABNC, on Thursday, July 23, at 7 pm. This event is free and
open to the public – so bring a friend!

*MORE ABOUT THE FRESH! Air (Artist in Residence) partnership between the
Caetani Cultural Centre and the Allan Brook Nature Centre:*

The Allan Brooks Nature Centre and the Caetani Centre are pleased to
partner for another for another great year of visiting artists with a
national and international flavor in partnership with the Allan Brooks
Nature Centre. Now in its third year of operation, both organizations have
hosted artists from Japan, Australia, South Africa, the USA, and Canada.

The program combines art and the environment, focusing on bringing
awareness to environmental issues by presenting different ways of seeing
using innovative and “out of the box” approaches. The goal of the Fresh!
AiR program is to encourage artists to approach creativity, exploration and
research on habitat conservation in different ways and present the
community with new ways of seeing, experiencing and interpreting art and
the environment around us.

The residencies consist of a 4 – 6 week stay at the Caetani Centre, and the
artist draws upon the ample resources provided by the Allan Brooks Nature
Centre, giving visiting artists the opportunity to live and work in the
Greater Vernon community, and interacting with local artists and residents.
