Meet with the Caetani Centre’s July Artists-in-Residence Joanne Salé and David Restivo at the next First Friday Art Trail on July 4th from noon to 4 p.m.

Learn the process of developing cyanotypes, a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue image with Joanne, and listen to work-in-progress jazz compositions from David.

Working in the Caetani Centre’s Jüül Studio, Joanne will create experimental multi-panel cyanotypes with changing imagery during the exposure, hopefully creating ghost images. She will also be working on cyanotypes that combine photographic and found materials, and the early stages of work on a lino print block.

David, working in the Caetani Centre’s Ninfa Studio, will be focused on a long-term project to complete a series of compositions scored for a jazz quintet, plus a classical chamber ensemble consisting of string quartet, flute, oboe, clarinet, bass clarinet, and French horn. 

Joanne earned her BFA from UBC-Okanagan in 2005, where she worked in sculpture, drawing, etching, and painting. She has had solo exhibitions at a number of art galleries in BC, and has been included in group exhibitions throughout the province. 

Since 2008, Joanne has completed a number of short and long-term residencies in BC, including several at the Caetani Centre.

David has been a dedicated music educator for over 20 years, currently teaching in Nelson’s Selkirk music department. He has previously taught at Humber College, the Banff Centre for the Arts, and the University of Toronto.

David is also no stranger to Vernon, having played the Vernon Jazz Club with the Nelson Jazz Collective and Melody Diachun.

Located in the East Hill neighbourhood of Vernon on Pleasant Valley Road, the Caetani Centre is open during the First Friday Art Trail from noon to 4 p.m.

In addition to our participating studio artists and artists in residence, the Centre’s heritage house museum and art gallery, currently featuring a selection of paintings from Sveva Caetani’s Recapitulation Series, will be open.

Admission to the museum and gallery is by donation.
