Audain Art Museum chills out with SNOWGA + SOUND, January 13

Whistler arts venue hosts a yoga class and soundbath in support of Protect Our Winters Canada

Audain Art Museum presents SNOWGA + SOUND: In Support of Protect Our Winters Canada on January 13 from 6 to 8 pm

WHISTLER’S AUDAIN ART MUSEUM is home to the largest permanent display of paintings by Emily Carr, key pieces of the Vancouver photo conceptualism movement, hereditary Haida Chief James Hart’s magnificent The Dance Screen (The Scream Too), and a vast collection of historical and contemporary Indigenous masks.

It’s also hosting a cool event on January 13: SNOWGA + SOUND: In Support of Protect Our Winters Canada. The all-levels stretch session is open to anyone but geared to snowboarders and skiers. It’s followed by a soundbath journey designed for relaxation led by certified sound-therapy practitioner May Globus’s oto healing.

Proceeds go toward Protect Our Winters (POW) Canada, a group of outdoor enthusiasts, professional athletes, and businesses that advocates for policy solutions to climate change.

Admission is a $50 donation to POW.

See Audain Art Museum for more information.
