Volunteering has a meaningful, positive impact on your community. Not only that, medical scientists are beginning to discover that there is healing power in helping others. This new field of specialization, psychoneuroimmunology or PNI for short, researches the power of the mind to influence health and healing. This research has produced some startling results. IgA is an antibody that helps the body defend itself from infection. Harvard psychologist David McClelland measured this antibody in students before and after watching a film on Mother Teresa, the Nobel Prize laureate, for her work helping the homeless. Dr McClelland found that merely watching a film on selfless service strengthened the immune response in the students. Be a part of the voices for developing and enhancing the growth of a vibrant community in Burnaby through arts and culture by becoming a Director on Board of the Burnaby Arts Council! We’re looking for Burnaby residents with a passion for arts and with professional skills/knowledge to offer including artists, business people, marketing professionals, lawyers, accountants, project managers, and fund developers. Volunteering … good for the community, good for you! Why not give us a call! 604-298-7322

 Celebration of Spring: Rebirth and Renewal April 2-25th 2010
Burnaby Arts Council’s Deer Lake Gallery hosts an annual juried ‘Celebration of Spring’ exhibition, featuring works of local emerging and established member artists, presenting 2D and 3D works for public viewing. This year’s show, which runs from April 2-25th, offers the work of 25 artists in a variety of media, including bronze and recycled objects sculptures, textile art, photography and of course, paintings in watercolour, acrylic and oil; all interpreting the theme ‘rebirth and renewal’. As in previous years, a “Peoples’ Choice” award of a solo show on next year’s Deer Lake Gallery exhibition roster will be provided to the artist who’s piece garners the most votes from gallery visitors. The Celebration of Spring exhibition will provide a beautiful backdrop for April’s ‘BAC-Talk’ lecture at the Deer Lake Gallery, when we are delighted to present Stream of Dreams Society co-founder Louise Towell, as our guest speaker on April 17th at 1pm. Stream of Dreams is a non-profit that educates communities about the life and function of their watersheds. Louise will present a fascinating ‘story scroll’ and talk about her passion for eco-education through community art. The original Stream of Dreams project was inspired by a need to heal our neighbourhood waterway Byrne Creek.
“The Seen of the Unseen” paintings by NICU LIUTAOn exhibit February 5-28th 2010
NICU LIUTA uses both spiritual and painterly strokes to capture the luminescence of our life cycles in his breathtaking expressionistic and figurative paintings. He blends color and form in a gripping collection of signs which point out the soul’s pilgrimage in and between the conflicting realms of the spirit. His paintings relate a profound search for “the seen of the unseen”, the visible of the invisible. With emphatic splashes of color and scratches of his brush, he translates mystical experiences of spiritual encounters in works reminiscent of Marc Chagall and Ad Reinhardt. Nicu believes that color has the capacity to heal our soul by inspiring contemplation, thus leading the viewer to reach beyond the limitations of his perceptive mechanisms to get closer to the natural world. Born in and raised in Romania today Nicu Liuta resides in Burnaby, British Columbia. He has studied at Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, Vancouver, and has participated in Group and Solo Exhibitions in Romania and Canada. His paintings are housed in private collection across Europe, Canada, and United States. You won’t want to the miss the ‘BAC-Talk’ event on Feb13th,at 1pm! There will be an artists reception followed by a talk in which Nicu will be speaking about his technique and the impetus behind his translation of the ‘unseen’ of spirit, and how he captures it as ‘the seen’ on canvas. Artworks will be available for sale and refreshments will be served.
