Kamloops Arts Council's Main Gallery: Barely They're: Considerin
April 3 - 27th
KAC Main Gallery , 7 Seymour St. W.
Find out more at www.kamloopsarts.com/membership3/featured-members
Opening: Friday, April 5th 5:30-8pm Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Friday 10am to 5pm, Saturday 10am to 4pm The Barely They're concept started in late summer 2009, when two artists joined forces to put on a show with the subject matter of the female form. With over 20-plus pieces -- photographs, drawings and paintings -- the exhibit not only thrilled the public, it inspired other artists to show their work. The next Barely They're exhibit (spring 2010) grew to include work by 10 artists, with photographs, drawings, paintings, ceramics and installations. In this year's Barely They're: Consider the Sensual Edge, brought to you by The Art of Collaboration Studio, 15 Kamloops-area artists pay tribute to the human form in every type of art expression possible -- photography, paintings, drawings, and ceramics. Artists include Fame Mackney, Ula Chauvet, Robert Clark, Una Connor, Cindy Hayden, Hope Mikal, Sherri May, Malisa Lazzinnaro, Glen Mantie, Stacey Moore, Lynn Erin, September Kuromi, Catherine Dalfort, Debbie O'Donnell and Dana-Leigh Tomada. Barely They're is not erotica; its purpose is to show how artists use the bare human form to portray other messages in their work, hence the show's subtitle. Organizer's website: www.kamloopsarts.ca

Bones Brigade:Today skateboarding is omnipresent. Take a walk down any street in any town, and you are destined to see someone riding a skateboard. Well, it wasn't always like that. In the early '80s, skateboarding was fading away until Stacy Peralta brought a profoundly talented group of outsiders together and dubbed them the Bones Brigade. This documentary chronicles their epic rise, using awesome archival footage and moving first-person accounts from Brigade members Steve Caballero, Tommy Guerrero, Tony Hawk, Mike McGill, Lance Mountain, and Rodney Mullen, among others. Through passion, drive, creativity, and a surprising sense of teamwork, they revitalized the sport and influenced generations to come. BONES BRIGADE will blow the minds of anyone who grew up emulating these guys, but it also resonates for anyone who ever found a family or a purpose in an unexpected place.
