An art festival is underway in Terrace, and there is still plenty of time to experience some local and international artistic talent., an art exhibition and performance festival focused on celebrating winter and “wintering together.” The Outdoor Artist Collective organized around the subject as a way of bringing attention to environmental issues without contributing to what they see as “eco-anxious narratives.
Leonard emphasized that ‘grounded’ is a very important word in the work she’s doing, and that making this festival happen took a lot of work from many local volunteers, businesses, and organizations. The themes of community and interconnection run through the creation of the project, and through the art itself.
In terms of programming, the exhibition has three events that are coming up or ongoing, all taking place at the Terrace Art Gallery.
