In this episode of AR:T ROUTE Radio Michelle invites artist, actor and filmmaker, Ryan Boyko onto the digital scaffolding to discuss the crisis in Ukraine. Loughery as a internee descendant was featured in an episode of the documentary series “The Camps” and award winning documentary “That Never Happened” that Ryan produced.The work shines a light on the Canadian Internment of Austro Europeans during World War One. Both artists talk about the fact we are reliving history in the most horrible travesty.Ryan's advocacy to get cameras as weapons into the hands of a Ukraine filmmakers is indicative of the passion Ryan has for authentic film making and championing for human rights. The lens of many will be a historic kaleidoscope of the crisis and use of the power of film making to support Ukraine. As a youth living in Saskatchewan Ryan was not interested in his Ukrainian heritage. A documentary that touched on Ukrainian internment operations in Canada during the First World War that Ryan saw changed that interest. Struck by what he saw, he asked his 10th-grade history teacher about the internment operations. “You mean the Japanese internment during the Second World War?” the teacher clarified. “No,” Boyko answered. “I mean the Ukrainian internment during the First World War.” What his teacher said next stunned Boyko: “That never happened.” Decades later those words are the title of a the documentary, “That Never Happpened “ directed and co-written by Boyko, that traces the Canadian government's internment operations between 1914 and 1920. Boyko is also the Producer if the documentary series on the same subject called “The Camps”. Loughery and her family's story are included in both documentaries The Camps - Season 1 - Episode 2 of 17 - Vernon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbC6xEsbfX8&t=34s Glenda Kohse's uncle spent the first 6 years of his life behind barbed wire.

As a high school teacher Jill's students, just like her clay sculptures, are molded and led to embrace their natural skills, and each engagement takes a hands on approach that is evident when watching Jill work with her students, or in art collaborations. The two artists discuss the power of art in education have how they have included this passion in their lives and why. An open authentic conversation of the journey to choose art as a career or does the career chose the artist. The natural teaching that art in education provides, that is so evident in the beautiful works of Jill Meredith. photo courtesy of Jill Meredith Follow the links to learn more about Artist Jill Meredith, and her incredible sculptures and creations as she shares her adventures in art ...

In this episode of AR:T ROUTE Radio, Loughery and Gallery Vertigo Gallery Visionary and Artist Judith Jurica, talk about art and the importance of arts non-profits. The incredible art of Jurica is as multi-layered as the art champion is herself. An open and honest conversation about the work and the exhaustive investment to keep artist run and non-profit art organizations afloat. The importance of the non-profit infrastructure is reflected on in the conversation, and how the fabric of our communities is imbedded deeply in a creative economy that is sometimes unseen and unrecognised. photo courtesy of Judith Jurica Follow the links to learn more about Artist Judith Jurica and her stunning art works … Instagram https://www.instagram.com/judithjurica/ Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/judith.jurica Join Master Artist MICHELLE LOUGHERY and guests as they “TAKE IT TO THE WALL” through conversations about art as placemaking, social change, and so much more.

The digital scaffolding reveals an environmental kinship of the power of art to evoke change. Artist Angela Hansen is well known for her evocative encaustic work. The work she produces is thoughtful, and invites the viewer to engage with the intricacies of the wax medium and forms she creates. Hansen has a passion of all things in nature, and her work is a storybook event of education, beauty and viewer participation. Loughery and Hansen discover their childhood wax fascination has similar beginnings, and the two artists embrace the connection that the love of creating and teaching brings to both of their practices. Make a tea and smell the aroma of beeswax, and imagine a studio conversation where the honey bees are welcome. photo courtesy of Angela Hansen Follow the links and learn more about Artist Angela Hansen and her other world-like works in encaustic and natural materials. website: http://www.angelahansenart.com/new-work.html instagram: https://www.instagram.com/angelahansenart/ Join Master Artist MICHELLE LOUGHERY and guests as they “TAKE IT TO THE WALL” through conversations about art as placemaking, social change, and so much more.

When that collides into a collaborative exhibit … it is magic; and the SEED by SEED group of highly regarded artists have created an incredible showcase of sunflower light.

The Walls revealed series on AR:T ROUTE Radio. Loughery has spent decades on walls around the world. The murals themselves are thematic legends, but Loughery believes the act and event each mural created, is the true story and art behind the murals. This series of stories will be told by Loughery as she reminisces about the communities, and the people that stopped by the walls to say hello, drop off a coffee, and tell her their story. Each paint stroke reveals a memory, or a special person who left their mark on the enormous works of freehand art. As the series continues, more heartfelt and pervasive stories will be revealed. A light will be shed on the community work that was the engine to the Wayfinder Youth program, and the social art project that helped create hundreds of artists, wayfinders, timekeepers, mentors and leaders around the globe. Opening of The City of Vernon Mural “Mural art enhances the quality of life of a community by helping to define, and formulate responses to social, economic, cultural and social issues faced by a community. In its broadest definition, Public Art inspires community understanding, pride and creativity, and benefits the health and development of individual community life in a connected community culture. Community Art is the thread that ties a community together. ” - Master Artist & Visionary Michelle Loughery. Michelle Loughery is an internationally respected thought leader, Artist, Project Manager and art educator. Loughery has worked in the field of community public art for 30 years and has created hundreds of large-scale fine art murals and projects.

Join Loughery as she invites Artist Raven Zeller to climb up the digital wall on this episode of AR:T ROUTE Radio. Artists are sometimes portrayed as creative creatures that create in solitude, and are not known to be social explorers. Loughery and Zeller have yet to meet, other than to see each other's work from a viewer's perspective. Inspirational connections and conversation are sparked on the first hello as the colours, and connections that are ancient, fly around the podcast studio. photo courtesy of Raven Zeller Follow the links and learn more about Artist Raven Zeller and her incredible, intuitive artworks.

Lorrie Fleming - “My realization that 'age is a gift to humanity'! I turned 70 in May and this milestone hangs heavily on my personal feeling of self-worth. But then I saw the gift.

Artists as patrons and wise women wayfinders. Michelle and aj Jaeger discuss the hidden lens of community work on this revealing and honest episode of AR:T ROUTE Radio. The space between the arts and community infrastructure systems is historically difficult to be made visible in civic budgets. A discussion how community art education is needed to reveal the value of the social economics of community art civic infrastructure work.

Life doesn't define you by what happens to you - you're defined by how you choose to deal with what happens to you. This episode of AR:T ROUTE Radio is one that strikes not only an artistic cord, but also a cultural cord with my family roots. Art is a powerful tool to disrupt and to educate on extremely important social issues. Time is stopped when you listen to Kerri and her art is a window to a time that sits on both sides of the window you look through when experiencing her art - Artist Michelle Loughery. Artist Kerri Pernell ... Her passion is to collaborate with others on projects that promote social awareness and change. Her results are both thought provoking and aesthetically beautiful. Nowhere is this more evident than Pause in Plight. photo credit @buioassis Julio Assis Learn more about Artist Kerri Parnell and her Pause in Plight Exhibition.

This episode of AR:T ROUTE RADIO has a ripple effect in the vibrant colours and artists on the walls and the connections between mural towns and the people who create them. In the art studio is Sydney Leigh Black, one of the organisers of the extremely successful Nelson International Mural Festival. This mural town has deep roots and also strong ties to the work of Loughery's students who are now some of the masters of their mural craft on the vibrant walls in Nelson BC, Canada. There is much energy that goes into the creation of mural towns and Sydney is a mural warrior in the work she does. #nelsonmuralfest #nimf #nelsoninternationalmuralfest #destinationmuraltown #artrouteradio Nelson International Mural Festival www.nelsonmuralfest.ca Photo courtesy of Sydney Black Join Master Artist MICHELLE LOUGHERY and guests as they “TAKE IT TO THE WALL” through conversations about art as placemaking, social change, and so much more.

"When I first stumbled on the work that Claudia Salguero was creating, the sunflower she was creating drew me to reach out to her. Her story and her passion for engagement art and community is inspiring and a beautiful conversation to be part of. Claudia speaks from her soul about her work and it is like hundreds of butterflies are released onto her immense canvas." - AR:T ROUTE Radio Host and Master Muralist Michelle Loughery. Connecting is what the sunflower does and art is the bridging love we can all share in. Search out the Wisdom Mural and Claudia's work and help her raise the dollars to create more inspiring art. Where is this mural? In Ottawa, Ontario on 1365 Bank Street. Look WAY UP and find the sunflower! “What is the WISDOM mural? It is a mural project I have been dreaming of since I understood the deepness of the Indigenous teachings in regards of their connection and respect for Mother Nature. Indigenous teachings from all over the world invite us to connect with her in a conscious way, to see her as the source of life, to appreciate her unlimited gifts and to respect her.” - Artist Claudia Salguero Photo courtesy of Claudia Salguero Website: https://www.claudiasalguero.com/the-wisdom-mural Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/claudia_salguero/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/claudia.salguero.art Join Master Artist MICHELLE LOUGHERY and guests as they “TAKE IT TO THE WALL” through conversations about art as placemaking, social change, and so much more.

Connecting with other creatives is a key part of a strong art practice. During Covid times what is an artist's haven and creative secluded heaven became a jail of lack of choices to connect. The mastery of creative skills does not help learn new digital skills. Remembering what being a student is like is a good reminder as we masters mentor and now need mentored in exchange. Digital connections proved to be a window into each other's studios and a thread that ties us all together that has become the new digital zoom party line. And as always exchange is connection and a mastery of building each other up in hard times! Take a listen as Host Artist Michelle Loughery and Guest Artist Jo Petty connect on AR:T ROUTE Radio ‘Talking to the Sunflowers' party line. "My theme in life and art has always been "Every Mark Matters" and my goal is to impart the inspiration of that statement to every person I instruct and with whom I work. Art is an energy that is alive and all around us. It comes through the artist or the medium and when a viewer acknowledges or responds to that energy it is one of the greatest rewards." - Artist Jo Petty. Jo Petty has had international shows in Tokyo, Bifuka and Sapporo. Petty was also part of the team that painted a mural for the Hollywood feature film, An Unfinished Life.

Michelle Loughery spends time with Anne Sadelain of Edmonton, Alberta on AR:T ROUTE Radio. At 16, Anne Sadelain's father lied about his age to get into Canada. Five years later, in 1915, he was picked up by police in Vancouver and brought to an internment camp in Morrissey, B.C. Anne is one of the children of the camp survivors and her father; Vasyl (William) Doskoch was a Morrissey internee. Anne speaks about her father's harsh treatment and what an impact it had on the family to have their father imprisoned in such an unjust fashion. She explains also that Vasyl was eventually moved to a camp at Kapuskasing in Northern Ontario when Morrissey was finally shut down. There he was forced to remain in what only can be described as deliberate post-war slave labour until he was finally released in 1920, 1-2 years after war's end. Sadelain said, “My father committed no crime and posed no threat to the country. Instead, he was locked up because he was Ukrainian.” Research and Immigrant Song music Andrea Malysh. About Canada's first national internment operations. "During Canada's first national internment operations of 1914 to 1920 thousands of men, women and children were branded as "enemy aliens." Many were imprisoned. Stripped of what little wealth they had, forced to do heavy labour in Canada's hinterlands, they were also disenfranchised and subjected to other state sanctioned censures not because of anything they had done but only because of where they had come from, who they were." Quoted from “www.internmentcanada.ca” Canadian War Museum - The Internment of Ukrainian Canadians. At the outset of war in August 1914, the Canadian government quickly enacted the federal War Measures Act (WMA). The Act's sweeping powers permitted the government to suspend or limit civil liberties in the interest of Canada's protection, including the right to incarcerate “enemy aliens”. “Enemy Aliens” and Internment Operations The term “enemy alien” referred to the citizens of states legally at war with Canada who resided in Canada during the war. Under the authority of the WMA, Canada interned 8,579 enemy aliens in 24 receiving stations and internment camps from 1914-1920. Otter classified 3,138 as prisoners of war, while the others were civilians. The majority of those interned were of Ukrainian descent, targeted because Ukraine was then split between Russia (an ally) and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, an enemy of the British Empire. In addition to those placed in camps, another 80,000 enemy aliens, again mostly Ukrainians, were forced to carry identity papers and to report regularly to local police offices.

AR:T ROUTE RADIO - Episode #003 - Creating Light with Artist Heidi Thompson. The two artists talk art in the time of Covid and the search for light in art. Thompson is an accomplished global artist from the Okanagan. The two artists find similarities as they enjoy creative conversation and playing in the creative mud puddles of life. "My aim is to capture beauty – not by painting a landscape as I know it with trees, mountains, clouds or sunsets; rather by painting the essence of nature using her elements of colour, light, patterns, texture, movement and space." – Artist Heidi Thompson. More of Heidi Thompson art can be seen on Heidi's website and virtual gallery tour. Photo credit courtesy of Heidi Thompson.

Michelle and Master Artist Roy Henry Vickers have a digital coffee conversation about the importance of art in the healing of the world after Covid. Listening to our ancestors will help create a path of healing and connection. “A pipe carrier walks in the ways of the four directions, which are common to all nations in the world: teacher, healer, visionary and leader,” says Roy. “We always have the pipe in our minds so that when we get into situations where we feel like we're off kilter or off centre or, we can always go back to this place of peace and centre ourselves, ask the creator to help us be who we are.” Roy Henry Vickers More of Roy Henry Vickers art can be seen in Tofino, B.C. and in his digital gallery at Roy Henry Vickers Gallery.

In Season 1 of AR:T ROUTE RADIO, “When Seniors Create" Loughery goes right to her roots to her momma's kitchen table. Through the window of modern party line technology Loughery spends time making perogies with her mother, artist Patrica Kozler, one of the major influencers in Loughery's career. The two talk about how art impacted them as rural women and how important community art is in connecting all generations, especially in community building in these times. Pull up a chair, grab a tea and take a listen! Connect to the histories about two small towns of Loughery's childhood … Natal and Michel. The film 'That's the Price', directed by Michael Scott, the story of the coal mining towns that disappeared, and in the podcast, how Loughery painted that history so the roots would not be forgotten. 'That's the Price' https://www.nfb.ca/film/thats_the_price/ "What happens to two dying coal towns in British Columbia when an American corporation provides a contract for millions of tons of coking coal? The film follows the consequences for the towns of Natal and Michel, suggesting that industrial growth has its price, especially with regard to the environment." Join Michelle and guests as they “take it to the wall” through conversations about art and art as social change and so much more.

AR:T ROUTE RADIO -TAKE IT TO THE WALL BIG ART, BIG WALLS, BIG STORIES! When Walls Talk! Join Master Artist Michelle Loughery and friends, as they bring community mural art to life. Climb the digital scaffolding and listen as walls reveal their secrets of over 30 years of mural projects globally. Her stories are inclusive, revealing and raw. The invisible spaces between the cities and the systems came to life while Loughery was perched on scaffolding for three decades. These are the stories from those walls. Conversations about connecting and collaborating with creatives and community. This is the artist view of those walls and the conversations of those who were part of the giant canvases. Though many assisted Loughery and allowed the projects to gain momentum, Loughery was the creative force that fueled the vision. Now decades later, she is still deemed a pioneer by those who aided in the projects, by the artists and the youth, and by those who followed in her footsteps to pursue mural-based art in other communities. The award-winning projects were also considered a monumental success based on tourism and socio-economic impacts and legacies. Loughery's Wayfinder Mural Projects have helped communities raise millions of dollars, while connecting youth and elders to skills and their communities. Soon, what began in a small rural coal mining town, picked up momentum and started a movement, and the dream of a connected highway mural trail called AR:T ROUTE Blue - Destination Mural Town. Her current Wayfinder Sunflower Project is connecting seniors and youth through digital and place-making art, and storytelling. Join Michelle and guests as they “take it to the wall” through conversations about art and art as social change and so much more.
