SUMMARY:Earth Day Screening of The Magnitude of All Things
DESCRIPTION:In recognition of Earth Day\, April 22 watch Jennifer Abbott’s award-winning documentary The Magnitude of All Things.\nIn partnership with The Climate Reality Project and Sunset Labs\, join us for a screening and Q&A with filmmaker in attendance. \nThe award-winning documentary The Magnitude of All Things merges stories from the frontlines of climate change with recollections of the loss of her sister\, drawing intimate parallels between personal and planetary grief. \nWhen Jennifer Abbott lost her sister to cancer\, her sorrow opened her up to the profound gravity of climate breakdown. Abbott’s new documentary draws intimate parallels between the experiences of grief—both personal and planetary. Stories from the frontlines of climate change merge with recollections from the filmmaker’s childhood on Ontario’s Georgian Bay. For the people featured\, climate change is not happening in the distant future: it is kicking down the front door. Battles waged\, lamentations of loss\, and raw testimony coalesce into an extraordinary tapestry\, woven together with raw emotion and staggering beauty that transform darkness into light\, grief into action. \nThe film will be launched nation-wide on CBC-Gem and on the NFB website on Earth Day April 22nd. \nCome celebrate with us April 21st at 4:00pm (Doors Open) film at 4:15pm. \n \nGET TICKETS HERE\n

SUMMARY:A Gathering of Stories
DESCRIPTION:  \nA Gathering of Stories: The Heart of the Feminine\nOver the past centuries\, much of our human societies have come under a system of domination\, developed and controlled by uninitiated men. Men who have not been guided through a rite of passage into proper adulthood\, where they recognize their place in the great dance of life. \nWithin this trance\, what are considered “masculine qualities” (rationality\, competition\, power) have come to be the most highly prized\, and rewarded. “Feminine qualities” such as collaboration\, emotional intelligence (EQ) and compassion have been diminished as less worthy\, and have denied the expression of different kinds of power and beauty that are potent medicine needed for these times. \nJuly 2021 weaved storytellers\, musicians and poets in response to the question: what power lies within the heart of the feminine? \nThe Experience\nGuided by co-hosts Pulxaneeks & Tonye Aganaba\, the day wove a tapestry of story\, punctuated by musical performances and spoken word artists. After each story\, the audience was invited to dive deeper with a shared conversation with the teller\, connecting around the themes and insights. \nWhat is a Gathering of Stories?\nA Gathering of Stories is a seasonal ceremony\, conducted over livestream\, bringing together renowned storytellers\, musicians and poets from around the world\, providing new insight and perspectives on the most vital themes of our time. \nEach day weaves a tapestry of story\, punctuated by musical performances and spoken word artists. After each story\, the audience are invited to dive deeper into a shared conversation with the teller\, connecting around the themes\, insights\, and characters that naturally spill forth from this old time magic.\n  \nAccess the Replay HERE!\nTERRITORIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT\n\nSunset Labs sits on the traditional\, ancestral\, unceded homelands of the Lekwungen people\, now also known as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations. We endeavour to honour this land\, its peoples and treaties by strengthening our relationship and responsibilities to them. We acknowledge and thank the Lekwungen people\, on whose land we live\, work\, create\, dance and play.\n

SUMMARY:A Gathering of Stories
DESCRIPTION:The Mythic Masculine | Warrior Within | Uplift | MysterySchool.tv | The Rowe Center\nProudly Present…\nA Gathering of Stories – Theme: The Soul of Masculinity\nA Gathering of Stories is a two day storytelling festival\, conducted over livestream\, bringing together renowned storytellers\, musicians and poets from around the world\, providing new insight and perspectives for tending the soul of the masculine. \nEach day will weave a tapestry of story\, punctuated by musical performances and spoken word artists. After each story\, the audience will be invited to dive deeper into a conversation with the teller and fellow attendees\, connecting around the themes\, insights\, and characters that naturally spill forth from this old time magic. \nMany would say the Masculine has been ill for some time. When we speak of men\, or the inner Masculine within us all – many are struggling under violence\, depression and addiction\, or lost in toxic power games and perpetuating ecological collapse. \nIn the era of #metoo and the scales of social justice tipping toward a much needed reckoning\, there seem to be few pathways towards a Masculine that is powerful\, nurturing\, and connected. Perhaps we might look to the old stories for guidance\, to shine light anew on modern challenges and illuminate how we might yet become?\nThis inaugural Gathering of Stories is aimed at shining a beacon of possibility and magic\, at a time when the mythic imagination must play a vital role once again. \nThe gathering is hosted by Ian MacKenzie\, founder of The Mythic Masculine Podcast and Network.\n  \nGET TICKETS HERE\n  \nA Gathering of Stories – Theme: The Soul of Masculinity will be hosted at Sunset Labs and livestreamed by Stream of Consciousness.  \nPlease note\, this is a VIRTUAL ONLY event\, there will be no in-person audience.

SUMMARY:On the Cusp 2021
DESCRIPTION:The Eternal Dance of Capricorn & Aquarius Continues…\nAs we move into the 2000 year Age of Aquarius\, we together shift from the Piscean framework of hierarchy\, and power… into an Aquarian framework of information\, equality\, networks and collaboration. There’s a new time birthing\, a new way… and as we welcome the arrival of Aquarius\, in the Age of Aquarius\, in a new year with some new energies rising and old energies falling to the background… we gather to connect\, to move\, to remember what it is to have community\, to dance and celebrate and feel each other’s shared movements from near\, or far.  \nWe dance for our ancestors… for our descendants… we dance as a love song to the earth\, as a gratitude poem to our feet\, as a massage for our organs… we dance because we CAN\, in a time when connection and moving energy is so vital. THANK YOU for being with us… for dancing with us… and for sharing a moment in time – in community – regardless our physical location. While it may be a moment longer before we can return to the touch we once knew\, and need… we can until then touch each other’s hearts and minds… and it’s a path well worth developing. Our next step is right here\, on the cusp of what comes next.  \n♥  ♥  ♥  \n\nMUSICAL CONTRIBUTIONS FROM \nSpice Traders \nhttps://soundcloud.com/spicetradersmusic\nThe inescapable evolution of our beloved Kaminanda\, Spice Traders is the newest most beauteous creative expression of Stephen Medeiros… Colorful\, slow\, spacious House and Downtempo with a plethora of musicians trading spices. Spectral sunsets\, fractal flowers and ancient architecture roll into the night upon a Thunder Phoenix born of lightning and tonal sunbeams.\n  \nDJ Rowan \nSublime Events | Sunset Labs\nhttps://www.mixcloud.com/rowansentesy\nRowan has been DJing and promoting events in BC for over a decade sharing the stage with mainstay festival acts like Adham Shaikh\, Gaudi\, Liquid Stranger\, Ganga Giri\, Delhi 2 Dublin\, Bluetech\, Saqi\, Desert Dwellers\, David Starfire\, Drumspyder\, Random Rab and more. Rowan’s creates sonic journeys layered with exotic textures\, hypnotic rhythms and soaring\, soulful melodies. This is what he is lovingly pulled towards\, again and again.\n  \nDJ Dodd \nReturning Saturn | Sunset Labs\n https://facebook.com/TheDoddAbides/\nThe existence of Dodd has long been questioned by those who’ve not been on his dancefloor — but those who’ve been there are fast and thorough believers. From his humble beginnings as a dancefloor observer Dodd carefully catalogued the sounds and reactions of the people in order to pinpoint the perfect palette of progressive sounds. Whether you’re a believer or not\, with the speakers as his chorus\, you will be moved by the voice of Dodd…\n  \n\nTHE PARTY IS ONLINE!\nThis online party won’t be just another zoom call. We’re pullin out all the stops and this will be a beautiful\, high-definition\, multi-camera\, interactive broadcast. Get your biggest screen & sound system setup and be ready to dance the night away in the living room!\nThe coolest thing about offering a livestream for this event is that you and your friends can attend from ANYWHERE in the world with an internet connection! Through our easy online webinar system\, you can engage with other viewers. You certainly CAN choose to just sit back and watch & listen\, if you like – your active participation isn’t an expectation\, but it IS an opportunity. \nCREATE YOUR DANCE SPACE\nTake the time in advance to make your space great\, whatever that means to you. Build an altar\, light incense\, play with the lighting\, make it beautiful. Good tech helps too – connect your computer to a big external monitor so you can see us all… try to get your best speakers all set up so that the sound can move through your body. A little extra time on your personal setup can give you a vastly different experience :))  \nHELP US SPREAD THE WORD?\nAs online dance events go\, we think this one will be pretty special\, and for the enjoyment of all – as well as generating extra support for Sunset – we’d love your help in spreading the word about this event. The EASIEST way is just to hit INVITE and invite all your friends who might enjoy this night! Also\, you can engage on the event wall\, post this event to your own page.. and of course\, go old school and actually call and invite some friends :)) Thanks for any efforts here to get the word out! \nOUR GIFT TO YOU\nAs a community you’ve given so much to Sunset Labs\, THANK YOU.

SUMMARY:REINFORCING COMMUNITIES
DESCRIPTION:The increased number of brain injuries resulting from overdoses is concerning. These individuals are often younger and may require a higher level of care.

In turn\, the more a person thrives\, so too\, will the community. \nThis event opens the conversation on what is needed to strenghten communities on all levels to address the intersections of mental health\, addictions\, and brain injury with the development of an integrated provincial service delivery plan which considers disparities between the quality\, options\, and accessibility of services and supports across the health authorities. \nPlease join us so your voice is heard! \nDr. John Higenbottam is a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist who has held senior clinical leadership positions in British Columbia   including Vice President\, Vancouver Hospital and Health Sciences Centre\, Vice President\, BC Rehab and Vice President\, Riverview Hospital. \nJohn has also held several academic positions\, including Adjunct Associate Professor\, University of Victoria\, Associate Dean and Chair\, Psychology at Douglas College.

While on this committee\, he co-led a major national study and report on mental health housing\, Turning the Key. \nJohn’s major clinical and research interests are in developing\, implementing and evaluating effective\, recovery oriented services for people with complex needs. \nJoin us to hear the concerns of Dr. Elizabeth Plant regarding overdose survival and brain injury. Dr. Plant’s current roles include the Cowichan District Addiction Medicine Consult Service (AMCS)\, AMCS Community\, outreach at the overdose prevention site\, and developing substance use supports for youth. She has completed her addiction medicine fellowship with the British Columbia Centre for Substance. \n\nABOUT THE HEADS TOGETHER THINK TANK SERIES\nWhat you can expect?\nReal Conversations Leading to Real Solutions. \n4 Virtual Events. Each with a specific focus and goal. We are looking to bridge the gaps in services for mental health\, addictions\, and brain injury throughout the province to inspire real change. \nWe want to open the conversation to see what is working provincially\, what isn’t working\, and where do we need to shift.

SUMMARY:REHABILITATION & COMMUNITY SUPPORTS
DESCRIPTION:Everyone deserves to have a sense of belonging in their community. People living with mental health issues\, addictions\, and/or a brain injury often feel disconnected from loved ones\, family\, friends\, and the community-at-large. We know they do better when the services needed are accessible\, equitable\, client-centered\, wellness focused\, culturally safe\, diversified\, and flexible. Too often\, however\, the services are siloed and a person and their family are challenged to navigate a fragmented system. In some instances\, the system feels non-existent. \nWe want to hear about what is working in communities across the province and to collaborate on how wrap-around services can be developed\, expanded\, and improved to help people thrive in their journey with better outcomes. \nDr. Don Castaldi is the founder and Executive Director of DC Waterstone Services a multi-service organization created with a commitment to increase understanding of human behaviour and inspire people and groups to thrive and grow irrespective of circumstance\, mental health or history. He is also the co-founder of the internationally recognized relationship-based support program S.I.V.A. (Supporting Individuals through Valued Attachments) Training. Holding a doctorate in clinical psychology with specializations in attachment\, trauma and forensics\, Dr. Castaldi has over 25 years of experience and is a perennial advisor and international speaker to numerous organizations and professionals in support of individuals impacted by mental health\, neurodevelopment and brain injury. \nThe Brain Injury Alliance\, established in 2014\, administers the Brain Injury Fund (BIF)\, established by the Province of BC in 2015. The membership of the Alliance comprises 13 brain injury societies that collectively provide services and programs to some 4000 individuals who are living with a brain injury\, annually. \nThe board of the Alliance\, elected by the membership\, adjudicates grant requests and distributes approximately one million dollars annually from the BIF to help fund member agency delivered programs and services. \nWhy does the Alliance matter? \nCommunity brain injury societies are an important component of the health and human service sector in BC.\nAlliance funding is vital to service provision for more than 4000 British Columbians with brain injuries annually.\nFunds distributed by the Alliance has improved timely access to quality brain injury services at the community level.\nPrograms and services delivered with the aid of Alliance funding are delivered at no charge to the person with a brain injury.\nAlliance funding fosters innovation and efficiency at the community level. \n\nABOUT THE HEADS TOGETHER THINK TANK SERIES\nWhat you can expect?\nReal Conversations Leading to Real Solutions. \n4 Virtual Events.

SUMMARY:REAL PEOPLE – REAL STORIES
DESCRIPTION:Survivors of brain injury share their profound journey through mental health\, addictions\, and brain injury. They will share their journey of homelessness\, incarceration\, and struggling for years without knowing any services were available to them. Prepare to be inspired and moved by their courage and will to create change for themselves and their communities. \nThe impact of a brain injury affects the entire family. The added pressures of navigating a fragmented system to find supports that include mental health and/or addiction services is daunting. Hear these families share what they need from the outside world so they can thrive and rebuild their lives. \nHear from individuals\, like Geri Bemister Williams\, who have overcome all odds to rebuild and redesign their life and are now serving professionally in the mental health\, addictions\, and brain injury communities. \nYou don’t want to miss hearing Geri’s story of triumph. She understands the path of mental health\, addictions\, and brain injury and is passionate about her work in helping others. She is an amazing speaker with an incredible message.  \n\nABOUT THE HEADS TOGETHER THINK TANK SERIES\nWhat you can expect?\nReal Conversations Leading to Real Solutions. \n4 Virtual Events.

We are deeply grateful to walk these sacred lands\, offering atonement through our work\, and our spirits. \n\n“Dawn Dancing Otter is a true lifter of veils. While clearing and aiding sight\, she has a unique way\, holding and sitting knee to knee\, soul to soul. A cracking open to curiosity in specific lessons\, teachings\, only an individual holds for themselves. She allows individuals to dive into their capabilities of leadership and continue their processes even after her presence. I never could have imagined such potent ancient healing existed. Dawn is a true catalyst for healing and conduit of path finding.\nDeeply Cherished and Life Affirming experiences.”\n~Amanda Josephine Certified Wildwood Priestess \n“Dawn as a facilitator\, is the truest definition of the word\, I’ve ever experienced. She creates a safe\, integral and deeply magic container. In her honestly and curiosity will invite you to witness yourself in a powerful way.\nThe Wildwood priestess mentorship was like like being in a different world\, woman stepping into their power in true honesty\, the shallowness of the current world fading away\, leaving rawness and realness. The building of an authentic tribe of powerful woman\, laughing\, breathing\, screaming and making primal magic together.\nThe person I am now is more me then I ever thought possible.”\n~Michelle P.\, Certified Wildwood Priestess \n“Working with Dawn in the [Wildwood] Priestess Trainings changed my experience of what it is to have the support and love of women and sisters in my life. Through Dawn’s teachings I learned how to step into my authenticity and my power and find healing within the safest circle of women I have ever experienced. I also learned valuable tools around how to hold space and support others in their expression and healing. Because of the Wildwood Priestess Trainings I gained the gift of real connection with women\, that to this day\, show up for me in unconditionally.”\n~Emily A.M.R.\, Certified Wildwood Priestess

SUMMARY:DANCELABS
DESCRIPTION:  \n>>> ♥ D A N C E L A B S ♥ <<<\nWe need more dance! And GREAT music!\nAnd we’re missing our connection\, and our festivals\, and our touring superstar producers and artists! \nI reached out to some friends and asked if they would contribute a LIVE set to a Sunset benefit event\, and a bit to my surprise\, they ALL said YES – and their schedules all aligned for ONE date – JULY 17! I’m so grateful and humbled by the generosity of our amazing community – deep bows to Dakini\, Drumspyder\, Desert Dwellers\, SaQi and Mihirangi for their interest in lifting our little Victoria venue and dance tribe here. \nWe can’t call this a festival… but have you ever seen these 5 acts on the same lineup in the same evening?! This is awesome badass blessed bonkers music madness. \nThis virtual party is going to be the BEST. We are using professional livestream and audio gear to manage the broadcast\, working closely with artists to support their LIVE delivery into the event\, and we have some very fun additional elements we’ll be weaving in to make our evening together all the better. Hope you can join us :))\n \n \nGET TICKETS \n  \n\nWHY A FUNDRAISER?\nRight now\, there’s so many people and purposes that need our support. We don’t have to look far to find people\, causes and organizations who really need some extra care\, attention\, resources and support. So… asking for your help in this moment feels imperfect\, and that said\, Sunset needs some help. \nThis unusual moment has been really impactful on Sunset Labs (and venues everywhere!). With plenty of 2020 bookings in the calendar\, we went ‘all in’ on a renovation December-January… and made a number of huge changes at the venue. An end-to-end paint job… upgrades to lighting\, sound\, seating\, power\, airflow… new floors\, new ceilings\, a new mini-stage… so much. It’s the most dramatic overhaul in the venue’s history\, and since COVID landed just after we re-opened… very few people have seen it. But it’s great\, you’ll love it. We love it. \nEconomically\, Sunset Labs has long been effectively a breakeven scenario. There’s very little money in arts\, kids birthdays\, film screenings\, non-profit programs\, dance culture\, and workshops (yes there’s money in alcohol\, but we’re not interested in being licensed). We’ve never really designed or intended Sunset Labs to make a bunch of money… just to make a bunch of difference for our guests and community – a fun\, safe\, creative\, lifting community space that advances people and projects that matter\, and we feel really good about what we’ve been up to\, in these last few years in particular. \nSo\, now to THIS moment. On the heels of our big renovation & upgrades with Sunset already low on resources suddenly COVID hit. All the spring/summer bookings were cancelled and we’ve been offering future credits and returning deposits. We’ve now been months without income and as far as we and other venue owners can tell… there’s no aid in place for venues provincially or federally\, and no end in sight to serious constraints on our operations. We need to create some resources now. Thanks for whatever support you can bring to help Sunset catch up and pivot to this unusual moment. \n  \n\nOUR ARTISTS & CONTRIBUTORS\nMIHIRANGI | New Zealand\nreverbnation.com/mihirangi/ \nSaQi | Jumpsuit Records\, USA\nhttps://www.saqimusic.com/ \nDRUMSPYDER | Bay Area\, USA\nhttps://www.drumspyder.com/ \nDAKINI | Bay Area\, USA\nhttps://www.facebook.com/DjDakini/ \nDESERT DWELLERS | Colorado\, USA\nhttps://desertdwellersmusic.bandcamp.com/ \nlive art by KASHI INNANI\nkashivisionaryart.com \nvisuals by JOHNATHAN SINGER\nhttp://johnathansinger.com/ \n  \n\nTHE PARTY IS ONLINE!\nThis online party won’t be just another zoom call. We’re pullin out all the stops and this will be a beautiful\, high-definition\, multi-camera\, interactive broadcast. Get your biggest screen & sound system setup and be ready to dance the night away in the living room! \nThe coolest thing about offering a livestream for this event is that you and your friends can attend from ANYWHERE in the world with an internet connection! Through our easy online webinar system\, you can engage with other viewers. You certainly CAN choose to just sit back and watch & listen\, if you like – your active participation isn’t an expectation\, but it IS an opportunity. \nI am deeply aware that many members of the Sunset Labs community have also experienced significant financial impact\, so if you wish to attend the livestream but lack the funds to contribute at this time\, please don’t let that get in your way and just contribute the minimum amount of $2 – we all need the dance right now. \n  \n\nHELP US SPREAD THE WORD?\nAs online dance events go\, we think this one will be pretty special\, and for the enjoyment of all – as well as generating extra support for Sunset – we’d love your help in spreading the word about this event. The EASIEST way is via the Facebook event HERE. Just hit INVITE and invite all your friends who might enjoy this night! Also\, you can engage on the event wall\, post this event to your own page. and of course\, go old school and actually call and invite some friends :)) Thanks for any efforts here to get the word out! \n  \n\nDONATE\, PRE-PURCHASE\, or INVEST\nA few people have reached out expressing they can’t tune in to this event but they’d like to contribute some dollars to the sustainability & evolution of Sunset Labs. What we’re creating to facilitate this is more like a coupon – an internal currency we’re calling LAB$ (“Labs”) – which is effectively just a gift certificate… which can later be redeemed towards venue rentals\, media production\, and tickets to internally produced events. If you want to purchase some LAB$ to help the venue grow\, please send an etransfer or paypal to labs@sunsetlabs.ca ❤ \n  \n\nSPECIAL THANKS TO!\nDodd’s Eye Media | www.facebook.com/doddseyemedia\nZenon Kai Imaging | www.facebook.com/zenonkaiimaging\nPK Sound Victoria | www.facebook.com/pksound\nWestern Design | www.facebook.com/westernbeginswithwe\nLong & McQuade | www.facebook.com/LongMcQuadeVictoria\nJonathan Singer | http://johnathansinger.com/\nStream of Consciousness | www.facebook.com/streamocon\n \n \nGET TICKETS \n

SUMMARY:HIP FEST: A Sunset Labs Virtual Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:CANADA DAY HIP FEST!:\nA Sunset Labs Fundraiser & Livestream\nft HIP CHECK! \nHello Sunset Labs community! \nWE MISS YOU! (do you miss us too?) What a strange time we find ourselves… to need connection and movement and community more than ever and to have exactly that\, pulled away\, for awhile. I hope you have everything you need… and are finding the growth & blessings within the confusion and circumstance.  \nWHY A FUNDRAISER? \nRight now\, there’s so many people and purposes that need our support. We don’t have to look far right now to find people\, causes and organizations who really need some extra care\, attention\, resources and support. So… asking for your help in this moment feels imperfect\, and that said\, I am writing to ask for your help. \nThis unusual moment has been really impactful on Sunset Labs. With plenty of 2020 bookings in the calendar\, I went ‘all in’ on a renovation December-January… and made a number of huge changes at the venue. An end-to-end paint job… upgrades to lighting\, sound\, seating\, power\, airflow… new floors\, new ceilings\, a new mini-stage… so much. It’s easily the most dramatic overhaul in the venue’s history\, and since COVID landed just after we re-opened… very few people have seen it. But it’s great\, you’ll love it. I love it.  \nEconomically\, Sunset Labs has long been effectively a breakeven scenario. There’s very little money in arts\, kids birthdays\, film screenings\, non-profit programs\, dance culture\, and small workshops (yes there’s money in alcohol\, but I’m not interested in being licensed). I’ve never really designed or intended Sunset Labs to make a bunch of money… just to make a lot of difference for our guests and community. A fun\, safe\, creative\, lifting community space that advances people and projects that matter. And – I feel really good about what we’ve been up to\, in these last few years in particular. \nSo\, now to THIS moment. On the heels of a big renovation (one in which all the contractors went quite over budget\, I might add)… myself & Sunset were already low on resources and suddenly COVID hit. All the spring/summer bookings were cancelled and we’ve been offering future credits and returning deposits. We’ve now been months without income and as far as I and other venue owners can tell… there’s no aid in place for venues provincially or federally\, and no end in sight to serious constraints on our operations. We need to create some resources now.  \nWHY THIS HIP FEST THING? \nAnd then a few days ago\, like a hip angel arriving from out of nowhere… my friend Jonathan says… “You guys must really be struggling right now… can my band HIP CHECK host a fundraiser for Sunset Labs?”  What?! Why YES\, why YES you can. :)))  \nSO… we’re throwing a short-notice Canada Day Tragically Hip patio party!  A small party onsite… a HUGE party online… the goals are to have a SERIOUSLY great time\, to find a couple different ways for us to BE together\, to BEGIN to wake Sunset up from it’s slumber\, AND to raise some funds to help Sunset be around a bit longer.  \nI am excited to announce that there will be limited (25) IN PERSON tickets available (that will surely go quick) to come down and take in the band and dance the evening away in community.  \nTHE BIG PARTY IS ONLINE!\nWe’ll also be offering a livestream of this event via so everyone who wishes to join us can do so. \nWHY A LIVESTREAM?  \nThe coolest thing about offering a livestream for this event is that you and your friends can attend from ANYWHERE in the world with an internet connection!  \nThrough our easy online webinar system\, you can engage with other viewers.  You certainly CAN choose to just sit back and watch & listen\, if you like – your active participation isn’t an expectation\, but it IS an opportunity. \nI am deeply aware that many members of the Sunset Labs community have also experienced significant financial impact\, so if you wish to attend the livestream but lack the funds to contribute at this time\, please don’t let that get in your way.  \nYou can also contribute by sharing this event with your wider community by sending invitations to this event\, sharing to your personal Facebook Pages etc. \nCOVID CARE\nNOTE: We’ll be following all of the appropriate social distancing and Covid-19 safety measures for everyone attending in person.  \nTo keep everyone safe\, we’re asking that in person ticket holders do the following: \n1. Anyone holding an in person ticket who shows any symptoms of illness in the days leading up to the event release their ticket so that as many who wish to attend in person can do so.  \n2. Anyone who shows sign of illness on the day of the event not attend in person. \nWe invite anyone who needs to release their in person ticket to join us via the livestream!  \n\nABOUT HIP CHECK!: \nHip Check is a Tragically Hip cover band made up of five dads who love to play music and love the Tragically Hip.

SUMMARY:[POSTPONED] Preservation Haul
DESCRIPTION:PRESERVATION HAUL\nAn Arts Victoria Launch & Celebration \n\nWe’re so excited to invite you to a special event designed BY and FOR our amazing arts community!  \nYou may not yet be familiar with The Victoria Arts Promotion and Preservation Society\, but you likely know our work. “VAPPS” is a non-profit organization whose mandate is to increase access to Victoria’s artistic output; both today and for future generations. \nWe’ve now guided ArtsVictoria.ca for 6 years\, and are now taking over full ownership of the site from the City of Victoria. At the same time\, LiveVictoria.com and its 20 years of history in the community are also being turned over and entrusted to VAPPS. The two sites will together form Victoria’s most diverse\, comprehensive and dynamic cultural calendar\, arts hub and living archive – ALL completely artist-led and community owned. \n\nTHE CELEBRATION \nTo celebrate this occasion we want to gather our communities under one roof. Join us at Sunset Labs at 7pm for music\, libations\, and conversations. There will be  live music\, a short presentation about our vision\, and a DJ set by Dimitri Demers featuring some local gems.  \nAny artist or organization representative who pre-registers for the event and has a profile on the site gets a FREE drink ticket. If you don’t have a profile yet\, we’ll have terminals on hand to create one – or do it now!:\n https://www.artsvictoria.ca/submit \n\nBRING YOUR ART!\nBring Something for the MEDIA ARCHIVES!: We strive to ensure that the work of our city’s artists endures. Maybe you have a rare local album\, a hard drive of concert photos\, an iconic poster or photos of street art. We will  have archiving stations set up for all types of media. We will safely and securely store the data and grant the owners control of what happens to it. From completely private backup\, to free for all\, you choose what feels right. \nIf you have a large amount\, or exotic format of content that needs to be indexed\, please email archivist@victoriaarts.ca with specifics so we can make sure we are ready to accommodate! \n\nOUR EVENING’S SCHEDULE\n7:00pm – doors\n7:00pm – MIXER\, DRINKS & JAZZ!\n8:30pm – MAGICIAN JASON VERNERS\n8:45pm – VAPPS PRESENTATION\n9:00pm – PERFORMANCE TBC\n9:10pm – MIXER\, DRINKS & DJ DIMITRE!\n10:00pm – doors close \n \nGET TICKETS HERE\n \n
