Incognito: using postcards to get teens talking is an exhibition about
teens in Lake Country talking about issues that they are experiencing here
in the community, whether it’s mental, physical, spiritual, or emotional.
We are asking teens, ages 13-18, to anonymously create a postcard that
reflects any emotion or thought, funny or serious or anything in between
about their personal experiences in Lake Country. This is an opportunity
for youth to be heard with- out judgement or criticism and shed some light
on how young people are feeling and hopefully start some conversations.
Stop by the Art House on Friday May 13th and create your own postcard to
display in the gallery and join us for an ‘Ice Cream Sundae’ from 7-8pm.

And...the Lake Country Art Gallery is looking for youth interested in
participating in the ‘Keep it Real: Sidewalk Paint Project’, part of the
‘Keep it Real: LC Youth Festival’.
On Saturday May 14th and Sunday May 15th we will take paint to the sidewalk
in front of George Elliott Secondary School on Bottom Wood Lake Road in
Lake Country. This is an opportunity for youth to work with a professional
artist to create an artwork in a public space. Seven emerging and
professional artists will provide the mentorship and guidance to our youth:
Jody DeSchutter, Lucas Glenn, Mathew Glenn, Kelsie Balehowsky, Arden Boehm,
Kaitlin Dutot, and Rachel Mercer. By working together on the ‘Keep it Real:
Sidewalk Paint Project’,

youth and professional artists can create a cohesive message that is not
only a work of art but a reflection of who we are and how we are doing as a
community.

The festival will also feature CYNK, a 4 piece rock band from Lake Country
BC. Jonathan Hintz – Guitar & Vocals | Malcolm Muir – Guitar/Bass | Doug
Harty – Bass | Lucas Van-Camp – Drums. They have just recently released
their album “Strings” on Itunes, Google Play, And other digital download
stores. They made their debut at Creekside theatre march 9th and have
continued from there. They will be playing on Saturday 14th at 2pm and 4pm.
The festival will include a line- up of musicians to be posted, including
James Balehowsky of JoyfulDoor (https:// joyfuldoor.bandcamp.com/) and
more!

If you would like to leave your mark on the sidewalk in front of GESS
please leave your name and contact information with the Lake Country Art
Gallery or email Wanda Lock (curator) at wandalock at shaw.ca.
