Bob Loblaw Queer Art Society is proud to present Paul Anthony’s Talent Time: Vancouver Special. Talent Time is not only a live comedy-variety show with packed audiences at the Biltmore Cabaret, but also a cable-access TV series (and website). To celebrate Vancouver’s
125th, we are producing a “Vancouver Special” series. Each show’s theme relates to Vancouver’s past, present, future, cultures, and environment. Every age, ethnicity, and style of talent is represented. Comedians, opera singers, psychics, musicians, Chinese dancers, wrestlers, senior’s vaudeville troupes, First Nations performers, and more! When Paul Anthony asks “What time is it?” the answer is “Talent Time!”

With support from the City of Vancouver’s 125th Anniversary Grants Program and the participation of the Government of Canada.

Artists Walking Home is a year-long collaboration between Walking Home Projects and 221A Artist Run Centre comprised of a series of walks guided by local artists, designers, and architects that will invite public participants to learn about the complex historical and social conditions of Vancouver through the embodied experience of the cities cultural producers. Participants will experience a direct connection to the city’s immediate environment – both natural and constructed – and to gain an understanding of how ideas and intention become policy, resulting in action and infrastructure which shape our social and lived experiences in public spaces.

There are many artists who are confirmed to perform at the large RJS event planned for the Fall of 2011 and many others will participate at some smaller RJS events that are being planned from June 1th to the Fall 2011 RJS Event. These events aim to support, showcase and promote the creativity of urban Aboriginal artists and community members in various venues, to the general public.
