This is a Special Wednesday Social where you can view the painted dumspters and have a chance to vote on your favourite for People's Choice! This free community event welcomes everyone to Station Square to enjoy live music and be social.

This week the Fernie Arts Station welcomes Raine Hamilton!

Sadie gets together with Patrick Whittington who was born 4,712.6 kms away from Fernie, BC. When they chat about the social challenges Covid has presented, they lament that they both are missing people. What they don’t miss is epic scenery, a passion for outdoor pursuits, and a community with strength and heart to spare.

Are you interested in learning more about how to apply for arts and culture grants delivered by the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance? Attend a free workshop with Krista Patterson, who will share how to apply and what to expect from the application process.

You could be forgiven for thinking that with a theme like ‘play’ this was going to be a fairly light-hearted edition of the FIX, but I have to tell you that I’m not feeling very fun right now. Life is about balance, right?

Joey Kosolofski’s first solo show, entitled “Searching for a ground”, includes a collection of works from the past four years of his mountain living. Joey creates a balance between his past love of abstract and urban art, with a developing style that incorporates the natural beauty of vibrant mountain landscapes and scenery. This show features some of his previous abstract works along with his recent thought-provoking interpretation of some iconic views from the valley.
