<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">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! </span></p>

ABOUT THE FRESH! Air (Artist in Residence) partnership between the Caetani
Cultural Centre and the Allan Brook Nature Centre:</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">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. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-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. </span></p>
