Your community Arts Centre has now been
open for a full 12 years, providing excellence in Arts Programs,
Gallery Exhibitions and Performing Arts Presentations, along with
being home to many cultural and community events. To highlight
all aspects of the programming and events that take place at
The ACT Arts Centre, you’ll see we’ve simplified our name in our
refreshed logo and created complementary logos for each of
our program divisions to better identify them. The Maple Ridge
Pitt Meadows Arts Council operates the facility and delivers
these programs along with many more community initiatives and
access programs. We have a great team that works together to
provide vibrant Arts and Culture in the community for all.
Over the last two seasons, our ACT Presents performance
series has been recognized by both provincial and national
Presenter of the Year awards. This year’s lineup promises
to be just as exciting, including 28 performances by
25 artists or companies plus 8 films—providing something
for every age and interest. Attending live performances is
recognized by Canadians not only as first and foremost a fun
and entertaining experience, but an activity that also provides
emotional, intellectual and even spiritual stimulation—as well as
an opportunity to learn and experience something new. We hope
you, your friends and family will take advantage of having The ACT
Arts Centre in your backyard and join us for some uplifting and
exhilarating times together in the theatre!

Sharing her rich cultural heritage with influences of South
American folk forms such as Afro-Peruvian rhythms and
samba, Patricia Cano’s music is driven by the groove of jazz,
and the soul of folk and blues. On stage, with her band, the
energy that Patricia inhabits is powerful to behold, and the
breath, colour, and textures of her voice change with every
emotion expressed through her words
and music. Audiences will be treated
to original works and traditional

Sunday

Kinnie Starr is one of Canada’s most adored and critically
TI C K E T S
acclaimed underground musicians of our time. Widely known
Youth $15
as an artist with an original, authentic voice, Kinnie relies on
“raw feral talent” (Globe and Mail), solid groove, and a love for
wordplay whether performing sensual and literate hip-hop,
heartfelt guitar songs or spoken word. The New Yorker describes this proud mixed blood
Mohawk as “edgy and enchanting”.
Performing with her band, the passionate and soulful singer/songwriter, Leela Gilday
confesses stories to the audience with an open stage presence and gutsy voice that
comes straight from her heart. She weaves her experiences as a northerner, a member
of the Dene nation, and a traveler into a beautiful world that transports the listener.
Both of these amazingly talented women have toured internationally, are JUNO Award
winners, have earned an important place in our Aboriginal music scene and as part of the
musical fabric of Canada. It is an honour to have them share their amazing voices and
spirits with us.

Group Show and Sale
November 21–December 19
In this exhibition, members of the Fibre Art
Network (FAN) show quilts that are paired
together to reveal how a subject or personality
can be explored in both an abstract and realist
style. This presentation reveals some intriguing
contrasts in the approach to each work, as well
as the individual `hand’ of its creator. FAN
comprises a highly accomplished group of
quilters, who regularly show their work in both
Canada and the US.
Now in its sixth year, our ever-popular Ensemble
show has evolved into a much anticipated
annual event. Featuring small ensembles
of art and fine craft in all mediums, this
exhibition is inevitably full of delightful
surprises and opportunities for inspired
Christmas shopping.
Iceland Unbound
Alexandra Edmonds
October 17–November 14
Emerging artist, Alexandra Edmonds, was
fortunate enough to be selected to participate
in an artist residency in Siglufjordur, a small
fishing town in northern Iceland. The resultant
series of paintings attempts to capture what
Edmonds describes as “a prehistoric and alien
landscape without a great deal of human
footprint.” Edmonds renders every sky, surface
and crevice with a straightforward honesty
that belies any attempt to romanticize
the starkly majestic terrain.

Laurie Rolland and Jane Duford-Johnston
March 5–April 23, 2015
Ceramic artist Laurie Rolland and painter Jane
Duford-Johnston both observe humankind’s
imprint on sea and shoreline with images of
ocean-going vessels, and the mysterious life
forces within the sea. While Duford-Johnston’s
work surrounds the gallery space with
dream-like ocean vistas, Rolland contemplates
the boat as a metaphor for refuge and safe
passage. Both artists reflect on the pull of the
tide, while Rolland’s often enigmatic pieces
show clear feminine parallels to the ongoing
rhythms of the natural world.

Zoran Malinovski
July 9–August 6
The eight exhibitions
we have curated for the
coming year have been
conceived to uphold both
quality and diversity, two of
the primary touchstones for

year’s line-up we will feature textile
art, ceramics, painting, mixed media,
drawing and, everything at once in
our annual Christmas show and sale,
Ensemble. If you have yet to have
attend one of our opening receptions,
you’ll want to make a date to do so this
year, so you can meet the artists and
join a conversation that is open to all!

Mixed fibres
Through a multitude of drawings and mixed
media pieces, Zoran Malinovski closely observes
the intricacies of apparently opposing qualities.
The realism of the original subject is preserved
while it is simultaneously transformed into a
fantastic representation of itself. Malinovski’s
prodigious drawing skills are everywhere in
evidence as he translates images and ideas from
his fantastic imagination onto paper.
