Joselito Macapagal: The Joy of Seeing

June 25 – September 23
Joselito Macapagal: The Joy of Seeing
Richmond Cultural Centre Annex
7660 Minoru Gate
Presented by the Richmond Art Gallery. The Joy of Seeing presents a selection of realistic and semi-abstract watercolour, oil, and acrylic paintings created between 2020 and 2022 by Richmond-based Filipino-Canadian artist Joselito Macapagal. His work captures fleeting yet memorable moments from his everyday life and travels: the bustling produce aisle in a local market, pre-storm clouds at Macdonald Beach, the distinctive nipa hut in the Philippines, and a steaming churro cart in Mexico. Using painting as a form of mediation and storytelling, Macapagal invites the audience into a world where he shares his joy of translating the colours, textures, lines, and shapes of such scenes in his paintings.

Britannia Shipyards – Chinese Bunkhouse
5180 Westwater Drive
7:30pm
Presented by the Steveston Folk Guild. We’re proud to welcome Illiteratty back to SFG. It has been a while. They play a wide range of musical styles, such as original swing, European cabaret, celtic, rockabilly, and off course folk. The bands full compliment includes guitar, mandolin, violin, standup base, and small percussion allows for music which is compassionate, funny, angry, idiosyncratic, original and extremely varied. Well that definitely is a mouthful. Earle, a prolific songwriter, has been writing songs since he was 12 years old. He has more self penned songs in his arsenal than the band can perform in one show, so expect a great time with foot tapping, hand clapping, and moments that will become memories. Don’t miss this.

Exhibition: The Industrial Shoreline
2024-06-11 - 2024-08-26 | Richmond City Hall – City Hall Galleria, 6911 No. 3 Road, Richmond, British Columbia, V6Y 2C1, Canada
Ongoing – August 26
Exhibition: The Industrial Shoreline
Richmond City Hall
6911 No. 3 Road
The Industrial Shoreline showcases six large wall-hanging quilt pieces by Pender Island-based textile artist Susan Purney Mark, depicting scenes of working harbours in BC. Drawing from her experiences of living near the ocean and traveling along its coastlines, Mark’s work highlights the tension between the high demands of the marine shipping industry and the collective aspiration for a sustainable marine ecosystem, which human activities both impact and depend on. This complexity is conveyed through the contrast between the material choice of the intricate, subtle hand-dyed and hand-sewn fabrics, and the portrayals of rigid, patinated metal cranes and shipping containers.
