The Gabriola Arts Council's 6th annual Cultivate Performing and Arts Festival is back this summer, from July 10-14! Come on over to the Isle of the Arts for some fabulous entertainment for the whole family. Our main stage lineup includes a festival opening by the Indigenous Women Rise Drum Group, a variety show by some of Gabriola's many musical gems, and performances by Clanna Morna, Dana Sipos, Omolara, the Harpoonist, the John Capon Quartet, and our festival headliner Jim Byrnes. Our daytime events include a sound bath and meditation with Charlie Gates, a screening of new Canadian film Hailey Rose plus a Q+A with the film's leading actor, Em Haine, and Derek Le Beau, principal researcher of the Queer Cinema Archive, and an encore performance of ART, directed by Yazmina Reza and performed by the Gabriola Players. On Saturday and Sunday mornings, enjoy children-focused performances and interactive events by Rainbow the Harp Faery and Pico's Puppet Palace.
