SUMMARY:Fermata: Charcoal drawings by Liz Charsley
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours Tuesday to Sunday\, 11 am to 5 pm\nOpening reception Tuesday\, March 31\, 5-8 pm \nFermata is a musical term meaning a pause of unspecified length. For Liz\, who sings with the choir Ensemble Laude\, a walk in the woods or along a beach can deliver a visual fermata\, caused by light glancing through the trees or bouncing off the water. Her charcoal drawings\, many of them rich in detail\, capture these moments\, preserving them in the dreamy stillness of soft monochrome. \nLiz studied art and theatre at UVIc before moving to London\, UK\, where she worked as a theatrical propmaker for many years. The long hours and drafty workshops took their toll\, eventually\, and Liz went back to her art practice and did an MA in Drawing at Camberwell College of Art. Liz joined a burgeoning art group\, South London Women Artists\, exhibiting with them for 10 years\, and was appointed Artist in Residence at Dulwich Picture Gallery in south London for their Painting Canada exhibition. \nMoving back to Canada in 2020\, spending the covid years in Calgary\, then back to her original home of Victoria\, Liz rekindled her joy of the wild outdoors in the forests and wild coastlines near the city\, from which she draws inspiration for her work.

SUMMARY:Vanilla Riot Live At The Coda
DESCRIPTION:“A wild\, high-octane tribute to the fierce\, female-fronted energy of rock\, alt\, power pop\, and post-punk – from the rebellious spirit of the 80s/90s to the edgy sounds of today”. With a growing following on south Vancouver Island\, Vanilla Riot is the ultimate high-energy cover band\, delivering a polished and powerful rock\, alt\, post-punk spectacle designed for wide crowd appeal and guaranteed audience engagement. Built on a foundation of a powerful\, locked in rhythm section that compels listeners and dancers to move\, freeing up the rest of the band to float effortlessly on top of the groove\, the band tears through an explosive setlist that blends essential alternative rock anthems from artists like No Doubt and The Cranberries with modern hits from The Beaches and rock twists on pop favorites like The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights.” With soaring vocal harmonies and relentless energy\, Vanilla Riot makes every track feel fresh\, dynamic\, and ready for a riotous sing-along.
