Kootenay Gallery of Art

Host Your Own Soup for the Cultured Soul
2022-03-26 08:00 - 17:00 (America/Vancouver)
One of Castlegar’s favourite social events is back – with a twist. Kootenay Gallery is on the move and now the soup event is too. The Kootenay Gallery is looking for people to host in your homes or wherever you prefer.
Organize a party of between 4 and 10 people. On the day of March 26, volunteers will deliver gourmet soups from each of the participating restaurants with heating and serving instructions, hand-crafted pottery bowls that each person can keep, buns donated by Castlegar Safeway, bottles of Hester Creek wine, and Doodle Bug Chocolates. The package will also contain recipe books, activity ideas, and coupons.
The chefs who are creating this year’s soups are from The Black Rooster, Chef’s Choice, The Grateful Table (formerly The Wandering Greek Oven), Kim’s Catering Creations and The Nineteenth.
Cost is $55 for Hosts and Gallery Members or $65 for guests who are not Gallery Members. This is a good value as the bowls alone often retail for $30 to $45, the soups are spectacular and we will be generous with the wine.
Funds raised through this fun event will go towards relocating the gallery downtown.
Please register to be a host by contacting the Kootenay Gallery at 250 365 3337 or email kootenaygallery@telus.net by March 12. The deadline for purchasing tickets is March 19

Rewilding for Everyone
2022-08-27 14:00 - 15:00 | Kootenay Gallery of Art, 120 Heritage Way, Castlegar, BC, V1N 4M5, Canada
The Creation of the Native Plant Gardens at the Kootenay Gallery
Presenters:
Olga Hallborg, Castlegar Butterflyway Rangers Coordinator
Bren Beckwith PhD, Owner, KinSeed Ecologies

This talk will highlight the progress on the development of native plant gardens that attract and support native pollinators at the Kootenay Gallery. The space, located behind the gallery, is being transformed into a suite of garden spaces showcasing different approaches to native plant gardening, often called rewilding, and include a butterfly garden, pollinator meadow, and flowering shrub hedgerow. More garden space is being added to these gardens this year and will feature interpretive signage following an EcoGarden approach, a program developed by the Central Kootenay Invasive Species Society (CKISS). Olga Hallborg will share her inspiration for developing a Castlegar chapter of Butterflyway Rangers and passion for building a public space for native plants and their pollinators. Bren Beckwith, the gardens designer, will describe the transformation of the space into pollinator habitat, highlight some of the key plant species in the gardens, and link this project to others in the region, as well as provide information on how people can continue to learn and get involved. Most of the plants that are growing in the Kootenay Gallery gardens have been provided by KinSeed Ecologies, Bren’s Nelson-based company that specializes in wild seed and plants that are truly native to the West Kootenay region. The Kootenay Gallery Native Plant Demonstration Gardens are a proud partnership of the Kootenay Gallery, Castlegar Butterflyway Rangers, Castlegar Communities in Bloom, KinSeed Ecologies, CKISS, and the Kootenay Native Plant Society (KNPS).
