SUMMARY:HERE & THERE: Paintings by Martin Osberg
DESCRIPTION:A collection of Martin Osberg’s painted compositions\, in oil and acrylic\, inspired by the land\, sea and architecture of the Southern Gulf Islands\, Portugal and Spain. \nShow runs February 17 – March 8\nTuesday to Sunday 11 am to 5 pm \nOpening Reception Thursday\, February 19\, 6-8 pm \nMartin Osberg has been painting for over 30 years. The most significant influences on his style have been the land and sea around Vancouver Island and the Southern Gulf Islands\, and the interesting play of light and shadow on buildings in Portugal and Spain. The series “Impressions of Iberia” started during a one month painting retreat in Portugal in 2017 and has continued to develop up to the present. \nThe painted compositions included in HERE and THERE showcase these two distinct influences and include works in oil and acrylic on canvas\, linen\, wood panels and archival oil paper mounted on wood panels. \nMartin Osberg has a studio above the Gage Gallery and will be in his studio painting for the duration of the show. Visitors to the gallery are invited to come up to his studio to meet and discuss his approach to painting.

SUMMARY:Democracy's Second Act: Book Signing with Richard Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Drop by Munro’s Books to meet Richard Johnson\, author of Democracy’s Second Act\, and get your copy signed! \nIn this book\, Johnson and co-author\, Peter MacLeod\, state that democracy isn’t broken – it’s stuck. As it fails to evolve\, people become angry\, polarized\, and feel a general sense of political futility. To give readers hope\, this book offers a clear-eyed vision for what comes next. Drawing on groundbreaking citizens’ assemblies in Ireland\, Canada\, and France – as well as democratic innovations from more than a dozen countries – they show how we can build on the legacy of the first act by creating new institutions that tap into the talents\, judgment\, and capabilities of ordinary people. They make the case that the public isn’t a risk to be managed\, but a powerful resource ready to be harnessed and that the future depends on giving citizens real responsibility\, not just a periodic vote. \nWhat: Book Signing with Richard Johnson \nWhen: Saturday\, February 21st from 1:00-3:00pm \nWhere: Munro’s Books – 1108 Government St \nHow: Free to attend
