Coming up on March 15th is ‘Expose Yourself’, Powell River’s first-ever erotic art show.

This show was organised because of what I saw as the sum of my interesting-things-to-do-without-leaving-town inventory–boohoo, poor small-town us! Then it hit me. Why not? (This is one of the blessings of being in a small town: organising an event isn’t really out of anyone’s reach. If you can dream it and you can network, make it happen.) We have outstanding artists practising in many media and not many who are faint of heart. So I put out a call and the response was overwhelming. Submissions came to our little town all the way from the Big City. Apologies to all submissions that did not make it in this year–purely because we ran out of room!

Thanks to all the participating artists: Karin Burch (silversmith), Douglas Enquist (glassworks/spoken word), Scott McMillan (paintings), Terry L. Brown (photography), Autumn Skye Morrison (painting), Passia Pandora (photography), Wolfgang Goudriaan (paintings), Eve Stocker (paintings), and Lilia Cardosa (photography).

A big thank-you to Manzanita Café for supporting this event. The restaurant will be hosting a pre-exhibit dinner downstairs at the Rodmay Heritage Hotel at 7:00pm for March 15 only. Enjoy the oyster bar, drinks, a variety of artists and media with music by DJ’s Megs and Tony from The Blender (12:00 Fridays on Jump Radio). Admission to the show by donation (suggested $5). Call 604-483-4238 for info and dinner reservations.
