Cranbrook Arts is excited to announce that Children’s Summer Camps are live on their website. We know that many of your small people look forward to these camps, and we thought we’d let you know what’s coming up. We have a few different and new camp options this year: Our classic Arts and Crafts camp, two Elevated Arts camps that focus on larger projects and skill development, and an afternoon teen camp (perfect for those of us with teens who like to sleep in in the summer…)

July 30 Centre 64
On July 30 at 7 pm, the Kimberley Arts Council invites you to watch the documentary Queering the Interior (2022, The Nelson Museum and Archives-Watershed Productions, CA, Amy Bohigian). “The film centres on the people and moments that defined the queer community in the Kootenays while paying tribute to the legacy of activism that led to a diverse and robust LGBTQ2S+ population today. Spanning decades, this documentary will explore how the discrimination and demands of one generation were transformed into the rights and responsibilities of those that followed. Both cautious and celebratory in tone, this film will illuminate a history that started with a brave handful of pioneers who ushered in the largest rural queer community in Canada.”
Tickets are on sale now.
