Celebrate the launch of Spirit of the Great Bear, a powerful new book exploring one of the world’s last intact coastal rainforests. Featuring a foreword by Paul Nicklen, this special evening invites you to connect with the landscapes, wildlife, and stories that define the Great Bear Rainforest.

Join us at the Brackendale Art Gallery for an inspiring night of storytelling, learning, and visual immersion. Discover the rare spirit bear, gain insight into this unique ecosystem, and experience a curated exhibition of photographs from the book.

Books will be available for purchase, and guests will have the opportunity to meet Jack Plant, get their copy signed, and enjoy the exhibition.

This vibrant event celebrates months of creativity and exploration by our talented young artists. Get ready to be dazzled as we unveil their never before seen final projects, thoughtfully created throughout May and June. Each piece reflects the skills, techniques, and confidence they have built over the year. The Happimess Kids Art Finale is more than just an art show. It is also a fundraising initiative, with proceeds helping sponsor children to attend camp free of charge. Join us in celebrating the joy of creativity, supporting our young artists, and contributing to a meaningful cause that helps make art accessible to more families in our community.
