TEN-TEN-TEN | Dylan Ranney – Robots & Social Justice

Dylan Ranney shared some of his thoughts and sculptures including a 5-and-a-half foot tall metal robot named Roger made entirely with recycled material. This Kelowna-based UBCO grad is not only an incredible sculptor, painter, and musician (unfortunately he wasn’t able to whip out his killer drum chops during this presentation) but has some inspiring thoughts [...]

Gord Whyte

Posted: Thursday, August 2nd, 2012

TribeHouse: Which artist do you admire most (and why)? Gord Whyte: I admire any person that has the desire to express themselves on a canvas. It takes courage to take your your deep feelings & heart and see it manifested on a canvas where anyone who views it either hates it or likes it. There is [...]

TEN-TEN-TEN | Nathan Hare spoken word

Posted: Monday, July 9th, 2012

Nathan Hare is a Kelowna based story-teller, spoken word poet, and musician. At the TEN-TEN-TEN event he shared some wittymusings (pretty sure they’re based on actual events) on his life as a 16 year old high school student and you can bet your cat on the fact that this won’t be thelast we see of Nathan. [...]

Heart Full of Sound

Posted: Friday, March 9th, 2012

We asked Ari Neufeld to tell us a bit about the latest video & song he wrote called “Heart Full of Sound“. Here’s what he gave us (along with the video included at the bottom). Heart Full of Sound is a special song to me, because it came out of true willingness to receive something [...]

It’s not always bad to meet a bear

Posted: Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

A very poor bedraggled man knelt on the cold floor in front of me, hanging onto a makeshift altar as if he were clutching a tree root to prevent his fall from a cliff. His bent back was shaking as he sobbed out his broken prayers. When he finally looked up it was hard to [...]

Art Leaks Blideo #11 – Kim McMechan on permission to write crap

Posted: Monday, December 5th, 2011

Kim McMechan is a multi-faceted artist – the kind that squirms when you ask “so, what type of artist are you”. She’s released several records as a musician over the past decade, is studying photography right now in school, and teaches on topics like creative writing & poetry. So, yes, she’s a musiwritographeroet (pronounced Muz-E-Right-Ografur-Oet). [...]
