The Vast Depths by Kelly Barbosa
The Northern Artist Gallery is thrilled to announce that the exhibit for the month of May will be artist Kelly Barbosa. The exhibit will showcase her love for oceanic creatures and can be viewed at Artists on Elgin from May 1-31. The public is invited to attend the opening reception on Saturday May 11th from 1pm to 4pm to meet the artist. Kelly Barbosa has always felt a love for the ocean and the creatures that inhabit it. Kelly’s work is a unique blend of painting and relief sculpture as she carves creatures out of MDF (multi-density fibreboard) and finishes them with acrylic paint. Kelly wants to bring a splash of the ocean to the inland of Northern Ontario using vivid hues and bold stylization. In this display of oceanic creatures, you will experience divergent species represented with vibrant hues, bold lines and distinct texture. Come and explore the vast depths.

Diet Culture Detox
This is a 4-week introductory program designed to help you take a critical look at your relationship to your body, food, and exercise, and begin to unlearn the harmful messages of Diet Culture. It will start you off on your journey to body liberation and self love, giving you skills to appreciate food again, shut up that negative voice in your head, appreciate your body, and move for joy (rather than to “lose weight”). Not only that, but you will learn some of the diet myths that we all have been brainwashed by (spoiler alert: BMI is a complete sham!) Week 1: Our Relationship with our Bodies We’ll talk about our body histories, how our culture teaches us a body “ideal”, and where that negative voice (the “inner critic”) comes from. I’ll teach you a simple way to silence that inner critic and guide you through a short meditation to help you better appreciate your body. Week 2: Our Relationship with Food We’ll talk about our personal histories with food, the diet industry, and the moralizing of certain foods. Then I’ll introduce you to the practice of mindful eating. Week 3: Our Relationship with Fitness We’ll talk about the fitness industry and our society’s obsession with exercise. I’ll discuss the RADICAL idea of movement for pleasure and maybe we’ll have a dance party! Week 4: Eating Disorders vs Disordered Eating I'll talk about the difference between eating disorders and disordered eating and give a brief introduction of the most common eating disorders and their symptoms. I’ll also talk about my own healing journey and describe what that can look like for others. $20 for the whole month (but no one will be turned away for lack of funds) Max capacity is 10 participants Register at allbodiesgoodbodies@gmail.com
