Snowy Owl Drummers Music In The Street Warms The Heart of The City Festival 2010

The band’s name maybe Snowy Owl, but this group of all female First Nations drummers and singers lead by singer/poet/drummer Dalannah Gail Bowen can warm your heart as they did during the Heart of The City Festival on October 31, 2010. Music In The Street is a program made up of three musical groups: Snowy Owl Drummers, Deet Streets, a new upbeat six-piecve street band lead by trombonist Brad Muirhead and singer Beverly Dorrinsky conducting the Carnegie Village Choir. These musicians are dedicated members of a musical movement committed to training, mentoring and performing with local residents to serve the Downtown East Side (DTES) communities of Victory Square, Gastown, Chinatown, Oppenheimer Park and Strathcona. The Snowy Owl, Deet Street and Carnegie Village Choir can be seen and heard performing daily during the festival along Hastings, Main and Carrall street in the heart of the city of Vancouver.

Bernadine Fox Mends Broken-Heart at Inter-Urban Gallery – Heart of The City Festival 2010

Bernadine Fox is an artist/painter/writer/teacher whose life-long work is for women and about the female gender living in a modern world. Though she sometimes paints flowers and other still life but life is not a bed of roses for her. Her work ‘Not My Love[r]’ on display at the Inter-Urban Gallery from Oct 26 to Nov 13, 2010 explores the broken heart and the sadness and painfulness of having to walk away from love. In many ways, Bernadine Fox’s work reflects the harsh reality facing the single woman living in the Downtown East Side. That makes her the perfect artist in residence that spring out of community with hope, renewal and what it means to be alive.
