North Vancouver Museum

Presentation House Arts Centre, 209 West 4th Street

Hours: Tuesday to Sunday, noon to 5 pm

Design is about function and communication, creativity and innovation. The history of BC’s design reflects the diverse cultures, needs and spirits of the province’s places and people. From snowboards to apple boxes to Newt Suits, this exhibit contains works that are both well known and obscure; some are award winning designs while others are vernacular-folk design. Included are objects created by aboriginal people, early immigrants and more recent newcomers, and both academically schooled and self-taught designers are represented. The exhibit contains a video presentation showcasing examples of BC design from 1858 through 2008. The video component is also available online at www.northvanmuseum.ca.

Hours: Tuesday to Sunday, noon to 5 pm

New work from one of Canada’s most recognized artists. The multi-site exhibition will take place at the North Vancouver Museum, the North Vancouver Archives, and the City of North Vancouver Library. The exhibition is framed by the time the artist spent living and working in North

Vancouver (between 1966 and 1978). Baxter& (who legally changed his name in 2005 to Iain Baxter&, pronounced “Baxterand”) is internationally known through the work of the N.E. Thing Co, an art enterprise launched in North Vancouver during the late 1960s.

Hours: Tuesday to Sunday, noon to 5 pm

In one of the world’s most spectacular settings, human activity has shaped the environment and has been shaped by it. Learn the story of North Vancouver’s rise from an isolated logging town to today’s dynamic urban community. The permanent exhibition gallery encapsulates 150 years of history, from pre-contact times to the present, using artifacts and photographs in themed displays to tell the unique story of the community and its people.

The North Vancouver Museum & Archives Commission is a joint agency of the City and the District of North Vancouver which operates the North Vancouver Museum and Archives. Funding is also received from the Government of B.C.

The event is structured as brown bag tasting meets speed dating, with a fast paced tasting of nine different Tinhorn Creek wines, followed by light canapés and a guided unveiling of wines by Sandra Oldfield. The event celebrates the age of social media, and reflects the fast paced times we live in while making wine tasting fun. Once guests move through each table of brown bag tastings, winemaker Sandra Oldfield will guide tasters through the nuances of each varietal, with the chance to win many great prizes. Chef Jeff Van Geest from Miradoro Restaurant at Tinhorn Creek Vineyards is partnering with Vancouver’s longest-standing French restaurant Le Gavroche to create some delicious canapés to pair with the wines.

Between delectable bites and sips of incredible wines, guests will have the chance to meet the people behind the Tinhorn Twitter handles: @SandraOldfield, Winemaker & CEO; @Andrew_Tinhorn, Vineyard Manager Andrew Moon; @KorolKuklo Assistant Winemaker; @linzyw, Marketing Coordinator Lindsey White; @mbuschleague, Sales Manager Mark Butschler; and @winegirljules, Sales & Marketing Manager Julie Copland-Stene. For all you tweeters, the event hastag is #socialtwist.
