Art
MR. FIRE-MAN PAINTS A PICTURE: Live Painting Tea House
Saturday November 7, 5pm -10pm
InterUrban Gallery, 1 E. Hastings, entrance on Carrall

The Festival is pleased to present something a little different; something a little unexpected and improvised. David Gowman is Mr. Fire-Man and he paints a picture. ‘In a hall, at the back, beside the music, local painter performs: Pacific Northwest landscape class: an oil painting step by step.’ Musical guests: Idverb (Brad Muirhead, trombone plus composition/musical direction; Lisa Miller, piano; Chris Kelly, electronics; Kedrick James, text/spoken-word artist) will wax poetic with a kaleidoscopic collage of spoken word and music. Following their two hour set, the horn section of The Legion of Flying Monkeys will close the evening with an exploration of sound and rhythm.
