Poetry Launch: Confirm Humanity by Kim Mannix

Please join us for the Edmonton launch of Kim Mannix’s debut poetry collection, Confirm Humanity, with special guest Laurie Lynn Muirhead and her collection, Coyote Snow. These prairie writers find their poems unified within themes of nature, womanhood, and connection in an isolating world—both using striking language and lyricism to make you feel every lingering emotion with them. At this event you can purchase copies of their books, have them signed, and hear their poetry read aloud. Stay for a while and speak with the poets about their local roots and what inspired them to put pen to paper. 

When: Sunday, November 16th, 2025 from 2 to 3:30 pm
Where: Audreys Books
10702 Jasper Ave

American Haiku Presented by Instrumental Society of Calgary

Jesse Morrison opened our season last year with a solo recital and returns in a new guise with cellist Clare Bradford presenting repertoire that spans a century, from Rebecca Clarke’s Two Pieces (1920) to Tanner Porter’s Under This Breath (2020). Centering the program is American Haiku by Paul Wiancko, California-based composer and current Kronos Quartet cellist. This 2014 work explores his heritage and identity, combining American and Japanese folk influences with his classical music training.

Exhibition, Reception and Artist Talk - "Ink Horizons: East to West"

Gallery@501 is excited to invite you to see “Ink Horizons: East to West,” a new exhibition by New Brunswick artist Dan Xu. The exhibit opens on November 6, 2025 and shows until December 20, 2025.

Dan Xu will be at Gallery@501 (#120, 501 Festival Avenue in Sherwood Park) for a special artist talk and reception on Saturday, November 15, 2025 from 1 to 3 pm and everyone is welcome to join us.

Ink Horizons: East to West features a unique interpretation of two iconic Canadian regions, the Canadian Rockies and the Bay of Fundy. Painting outdoors, “en plein-air,” Dan Xu captures an atmospheric feeling and perspective in her work. Visitors will feel they are floating through the skies over mountains and water in each landscape. Xu creates ink wash paintings of these landscapes on Xuan paper, silk scrolls, and fold-out books. Using classic Chinese ink and wash techniques, she takes inspiration from art of the Song Dynasty to add a sense of flight, movement, and freedom.

Visitors can engage in a hands-on art station where they’ll use traditional Chinese brushes to paint ephemeral landscapes - fleeting artworks that gracefully fade into the background, echoing the beauty of impermanence. 

Reception and gallery visits are free! We look forward to seeing you!

Friday Nite Live - Rose Coloured Boys

We are The Rose Coloured Boys the embodiment of blind optimism. We choose to see the beauty in life, no matter the challenges, always turning our eyes toward the light even when the shadows grow long. In a world of chaos and imperfection, we hold on to the belief that everything can still turn out beautifully, even if it feels distorted or flawed. Our music is a reflection of that hope a reminder that there’s always something worth cherishing, and always a reason to keep believing.
