Slight change of time I'll be at #VIVAS #OpenHouse today. I won't be there until 3pm - staying until 8pm. I need to pickup some extra supplies before going to meet Jada at studio. We're at the main VIVAS building on Blanshard St, on the main floor. Take a left, after entering building & Prickly Pear Studio is on the right, half way down hallway.

For $161.42 CAD - you can dine with former corrupt BC politicians, who are mostly corrupt lobbyists now & get the chance to hear from Bill Pristanski - in Victoria, in late May.
Remember Pristanski? From the big SNC-Lavalin scandal? Let me refresh your memories:

Pristanski is the special guest speaker at this event -> 44th Annual Dinner of the Association of Former MLAs of British Columbia 🤮

This was my fave #ArtPiece at #ArtisTree yesterday ❤️

Tanya Bub is an #EcoArtist who creates #sculptures of animals and people from #FoundWood and #RecycledMaterials. A signature feature of her work is making inanimate objects appear to be so alive that is it almost impossible to resist the feeling that there is a living being present.

This piece of art is called, Sitting With Grace - created in 2023.

Sitting with Grace is a sculpture project done in #collaboration, #OurPlaceSociety, #HausOfOwl creator, Ross Whelan and people in the #StreetCommunities in Victoria, BC. You can read more about the project and sculpture on #VictoriaBuzz :
