Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art in Bedford will host several workshops in June to compliment the current exhibition, Trees: An Appreciation of Nature.
During âSummer of Plein Air,â local artist Heather Davis will meet and guide attendants through the plein air process and instruct them to get them comfortable with the processes of making art plein air (in open air).
Sessions will be every Saturday, May 29 through June 19, from 8 to 11 a.m. at various locations throughout Bedford.
Walk-ins are welcome, but registration is encouraged and can only be made by contacting the museum by phone or email.
Guests can register for single sessions at $30 for members and $35 for non-members per session or for all four Saturdays at $100 for members and $120 for non-members.
Red Betty Theatre is celebrating ten years as Hamilton’s Indigenous, Black, People of Colour (IBPOC) feminist theatre company. The Inaugural Decolonise Your Ears New Play Festival is a three day virtual festival running from June 24 to 26, 2021.
Decolonising theatre doesn’t mean tossing out the likes of Tennessee Williams, Joe Orton or the Bard. It means brown and black bodies having space and time to explore their voices, develop their practices and explore lesser-known cultural forms without having to negotiate, conform or squeeze into the parameters of Western aesthetics.
Festival playwrights were chosen through an open submission call and juried process. Playwrights then worked with their partnered dramaturges to develop three drafts of a script. The development process culminates in a staged reading of the pieces at the inaugural festival. The festival will be Deaf Accessible with ASL Interpretation throughout.

Canadians under travel restrictions took to the outdoors in force last year. With another long winter over and COVID still very much affecting our way of life, many folks are looking for an adventure-filled summer on the trails. Excited as we are to explore the great outdoors, care must be taken to do so responsibly.
Mountain trails in the Kananaskis region have been particularly well-trodden as of late. Visitors to Kananaskis Country increased an estimated 30 per cent in 2020. This made things busy for Kananaskis public safety teams, who responded to an additional 150 calls in 2020 a 53 per cent rise from 2019.
