My collage No Regrets, Coyote in juried show

ByHeather Conn

I’m delighted to have my mixed-media collage No Regrets, Coyote in the current Joni-Mitchell-themed art exhibition in Gibsons. The juried show called Both Sides Now runs Nov. 12 to Dec. 6 at the Gibsons Public Art Gallery.

Joni Mitchell, who lives half the year on the Sunshine Coast, had planned to attend the event but could not, due to her recent aneurism and stroke. Instead, her manager sent a signed poster featuring three of Joni’s self-portraits. This is the first thing that Joni has signed since her stroke, she said.

Check out the gallery’s website for more information regarding music and poetry events related to the show.
