SUMMARY:LOVE IS LOVE | George Littlechild
DESCRIPTION:Ashdale Gallery presents Love is Love\, an exhibition celebrating the extraordinary multi-decade career and visionary practice of Two-Spirit Plains Cree artist George Littlechild. \nLove is Love offers a powerful window into a lifetime dedicated to reclamation\, storytelling\, and visual resistance. A Sixties Scoop survivor who painstakingly scoured national archives to reclaim his roots. \nThis personal journey fuels his globally celebrated mixed-media practice. Exhibited internationally\, published as an award-winning author\, and recognized with multiple honorary doctorates\, Littlechild stands as an iconic figure at the pinnacle of his practice. \nArtist Statement\nThis exhibition marks a new chapter in my practice—a period of experimentation\, movement\, and renewed freedom. Moving away from relying primarily on acrylics\, I have embraced mixed media\, with crayons becoming an increasingly central element of my process. Crayons bring an immediacy and physicality to the surface that encourages spontaneity\, visible gesture\, and play. \n“I think of this body of work as an act of ‘jumping into a new chapter’ and\, at the same time\, ‘coming into one’s own identity.’ Identity is not fixed—it continues to unfold through experience\, memory\, place\, time\, and change.”\n– GEORGE LITTLECHILD \nRSVP for OCTOBER 17th \nArtist Talk 5pm\nOpening Reception 6-8pm

SUMMARY:Puccini’s Electrifying Tosca
DESCRIPTION:A story of power\, passion\, and betrayal\, propelled by one of Puccini’s most emotionally charged scores\, Tosca delivers opera at its most thrilling. The story unfolds over a breathless 24 hours\, as celebrated singer Floria Tosca finds herself caught between the man she loves\, and a ruthless chief of police determined to possess her. Love\, jealousy\, artistic freedom\, corruption\, and personal sacrifice collide as Tosca is forced into an increasingly impossible confrontation with Scarpia. \n“Tosca is the fifth-most-performed opera in the world\, and we are thrilled to have this Puccini blockbuster return to our stage for the first time in 13 years\,” says Tom Wright\, Vancouver Opera General Director. “Working with Pacific Opera Victoria allows us to open our 67th season with a newly imagined production of a masterpiece by one of opera’s greatest composers. From its explosive opening chords to some of the most recognizable and emotionally powerful music in the operatic repertoire\, Tosca moves with the intensity of a political thriller.”

SUMMARY:Eastside Culture Crawl 30th Anniversary Preview Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate 30 years of the Eastside Culture Crawl at the 2026 Preview Exhibition\, P.A.R.T.Y. – Pushing Art diRectly To You\, from November 5–28\, 2026 at the Eastside Arts Society (716 E. Hastings St). For the first time\, 75 juried artists come together under one roof at the Society’s own space\, which serves as the central hub for the Crawl’s 30th anniversary celebrations. Since its beginnings in the mid-2000s\, the Preview Exhibition has offered a sneak peek at the range of art on display throughout the Crawl. This year’s edition returns to its single-venue roots\, guided by a selection panel of Crawl artists including Eri Ishii\, Hugh Kearney\, and Paul de Guzman. The title carries more than one meaning\, as a nod to the anniversary party\, and a reflection of the Crawl’s founding ethos: artists opening their own doors to the public and building a direct relationship between artist and audience. This retrospective exhibition highlights bold\, original works that embody endurance of practice\, place\, and vision. Full details at culturecrawl.ca/events.
