Green Drinks Vernon

 
Green Drinks is Monday May 13 2013
Sir Winston's Pub
2705 32nd St. Vernon 
5:30 - 7:30
 
Every month people who work in the environmental field meet up at informal sessions known as Green Drinks.
 
We have a lively mixture of people from NGOs, academia, government and business. Come along and you'll be made welcome. Just say, "are you green?" and we will look after you and introduce you to whoever is there. It's a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts. Everyone invites someone else along, so there’s always a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organising network.
 
This event is open to anyone with an interest so spread the word to your friends and associates. 
 
If your organization is interested in sponsoring a Green Drinks event please feel free to contact me.  We love creative thinking around here so if you have a venue you want so off or an event that you would like Green Drinks to integrate with let me know.

Green Drinks Vernon

Green Drinks is on Monday March 12th at Gallery Vertigo from 5:30 til 7:30. 

Gallery Vertigo, 3001 31st Street (upstairs), Vernon BC

Our Host(s) this month is Gallery Vertigo and UBCO Woodhaven ECO art experience

The Woodhaven Eco Art Experience Lives On
In 2010, over 81 artists made art in Kelowna’s Woodhaven Nature Conservancy.  UBC professor Nancy Holmes and artist Lori Mairs filmed many of the art projects as well as over 40 hours of footage of plants, landscape and animals in the park over a period of two years and have created a short film, Woodhaven: An Eco Art Experience, that celebrates the park and the artwork that the park inspired.

Poetic and visually compelling, this film is the Woodhaven Eco Art Project as seen through the forces of darkness and light, our damaging as well as our loving relationship with the natural world.  Shot entirely on location in the Woodhaven Nature Conservancy in Kelowna, British Columbia, the 17minute film reveals the natural world in relationship to the people who came to make and enjoy the art.

The film is an intriguing artistic response to questions around our conflicting relationship with the natural world and it celebrates Woodhaven as not just a passive object of inspiration, but a complex living entity actively collaborating with human beings.

The public is invited to a screening of this film Monday March 12th at Gallery Vertigo to take part in Green Drinks Vernon BC and held at Gallery Vertigo

For details about the film, contact Nancy Holmes at nancy.holmes@ubc.ca or Lori Mairs at art@lorimairs.com or phone 250-807-9369.   See the Woodhaven Eco Art Project website at www.woodhaven.ok.ubc.ca.

For more details about Gallery Vertigo contact Heidi Maddess director@galleryvertigo.com or www.galleryvertigo.com or 250.503.2297

Appetizers will be provided by Gallery Vertigo and wine or beer will be available for a $4.00 donation.  A press release and poster are attached about the event and film.

Green Drinks Vernon - Six Months Along and Going Strong

So in May it will be the sixth monthly meeting for Green Drinks Vernon. It is going well so far with new faces at every event and a dedicated core of members who never fail to make it out. Our little event has seen many meetings between business owners, students, job seekers, community leaders and government representatives. This month we are trying to spread the word a little more through orginizations and community information bulletins. If you have a suggestion for getting the word out let me know. See you next time! (May 11th 5:30 @ Sir Winstons).

Cheers,

Matt

First Vernon Green Drinks

Our first Green Drinks in Vernon went very well with approximately a dozen attendees throughout the evening. The group was made up of consultants, government, students, NGO representatives, green builders, and job seekers. A few drinks and lots of laughs were had. From my estimation the evening was a success. Thanks to all who attended and to those who spread the word.

See you next time,

Cheers!

Matt
