Oliver Rabara

Oliver Rabara is a hybrid artographer in the fine arts, cultural research, and development administration. His 30+ years of professional practice allowed him to work with various artists, institutions, and governments. Oliver currently writes in two Edmonton newspapers about business and the role of art in development. In this exhibit, his “Novo Cubism” twists Picasso’s traditions by composing in layers and displaying a breadth of coloring techniques from transparent, translucent, and opaque. His works are generally poetic and philosophical relative to abstract socio-realism.  Being a member of The Palette Club, he hopes to attract art agents, co-artists, and potential sponsors for collaborative projects in the future.

Saturday • 2:00 pm – 2:45 pm | The Nina Gallery (9225 118 Ave)
Sunday • 1:00 pm – 1:45 pm | The Nina Gallery (9225 118 Ave)

Talesa has been singing and playing piano for 28 years, since the young age of 4, starting her music journey in Music For Young Children's classes and then graduating into Royal Conservatory of Music. Talesa took a liking to making music at her church and singing in choirs at her schools, and those passions are what lead her to the majority of the work she seeks out in her professional career today. Being a graduate of Victoria School of Performing Arts, she was inspired to continue on to Grant MacEwan's Music Program majoring in Jazz and Contemporary Piano Performance. Today, you'll see Talesa singing and playing for many choirs and schools throughout the city of Edmonton and surrounding area (of note: EKO Singers, Accord Ensemble, Nuf Sed and FORM of the TIME Association, Kikimasu of the Korora [previously Kokopelli] Association, Memorial Composite High School choirs, Victoria School choirs, MD at Ross Sheppard for their spring Musical), Music Directing at Good Shepherd Anglican Church, accompanying for solo instruments and vocalists, performing in a band with her friends "Mallory and the Mystics", and freelancing in many various other capacities.

Kim Gates

Sunday • 12:00 pm – 12:45 pm | The Carrot Community Arts Coffeehouse (9351 118 Ave)

"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans" A singer and songwriter for many years, Kim kept his songs and singing mostly to himself. When the economy changed in 2014, this oilfield technologist and trainer soon found himself with a new job title (Home Dad), and a need to get out of the house once a week. Playing open stages led to jobs hosting open stages, and later the steady music work he's so thankful for. He is influenced by the writing of Earle, and Joel, and the music of Blue Rodeo and The Tragically Hip. A soulful storyteller, with a slight activist bent, Kim is happiest singing songs about the experiences that bind us, and the events that change our lives.
