About Arts in the Garden, an annual outdoor community event that has been taking place for now over twenty years. The event is a celebration of the intersection between artistic practices and the natural world. Each year, musicians, visual artists and performers fill outdoor spaces with their imagination and creativity, with the aim of inspiring visitors to care for the natural world while being in better relations to one another and to those who share the land with us. Arts in the Garden is an encounter of people and place, of creativity and of reflection; we invite you to join us in this special weekend of play, connection and delight on May 27 and 28, 2023.

During Arts in the Garden 2023, about twelve outdoor spaces will host a handful of visual artists, musicians and performers for visitors to meet over the course of the weekend. This is not a ticketed event, although garden passes are available for purchase beginning in spring 2023. While some public gardens are free to enter, most have a small cash fee of under 5$ – the exact amount will be posted in the months leading up to the event.

Feature works, Liminal Illusions, endeavours to illuminate BC’s forest stewardship through the flow of nature. The works witness environmental portals gradually emerging in Gaia. These iridescent thresholds may appear as vibrational apparitions or metaphorical illusions, signposts to the imminent climate crisis. Undertaking these complex issues of environmental stewardship and global conservation, the artist’s lens-based imagery experiments with representing physical, emotional and symbolic openings present within liminal spaces in our natural world.

Dates: May 27 – 28, 2023 (Saturday + Sunday)
