Music fans,
National Midnight Star is in full stride in time for summer. Medicine Hat's newest folk/country/roots rock four-piece heads into the Victoria Day weekend intent on shooting a video for fan favourite song 'Medicine Hat Approximately'. Singer Michael Coughlan should be quite camera-ready having just completed shooting on Dustin Alen's 'The Pre-War Princess' with co-star Melissa Kwasek (https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Pre-War-Princess/153346821354759).
NMS will play back to back live shows at Schooner's Pub (702 2 St SE, Medicine Hat - in the same building as the Legion) on Friday, May 31st and Saturday, June 1st. Advance tickets are available at JBC Guitars (Suite 108 -1201 Kingsway Ave SE, Medicine Hat, 403-526-0076) or from band members for $7. Look around town for the amazing posters promoting the show designed by Liam Ward.
Meanwhile singer Michael Coughlan and guitarist J.R. Louis continue to perform solo shows around town and look forward to some duo shows during Jazzfest. National Midnight Star has a special date booked at The Mainliner. Check out The Medicine Hat Jazz Festival program for listings!
Rumours abound local country favourites The Cold Shot Band may be covering NMS's new bluegrass tinged 'Mountain Dweller's Creed'. Learn more about The Cold Shot Band here:

THE ESPLANADE ART GALLERY
Joyce Yamamoto
Retrospective
April 27, 2013 - June 9, 2013
In this retrospective exhibition, Joyce Yamamoto’s drawings, paintings and mixed media works provide an engaging expression of the thoughts and affections of this beloved Medicine Hat artist (1944-2012.) Over the course of her artistic career, Joyce Yamamoto produced landscapes, domestic scenes, and studies of people and places familiar to her, explored Asian subjects and approaches, and rendered natural subjects such as floral studies and birds. Her paintings and drawings on paper and ceramic are characterized by an energetic, gestural quality, a colourful palette that ranges from subdued to daring, and a bold sense of composition. The works also reveal her thoughtfulness, her keen observational powers and her gift for animating line. Many of the works presented in this exhibition are from a generous donation by Joyce to the Esplanade Art Collection in 2012, and others are kindly loaned by private collectors.
Joyce Yamamoto was born in Lethbridge, Alberta and studied education at the University of Alberta. She worked for several years as a teacher and then received training in illustration at The Art Centre College of Design in Los Angeles, USA. After moving to Toronto, she was involved in the music industry, and illustrated album covers. Upon her return to Medicine Hat in 1994 she exhibited regionally and provincially in solo, group and juried exhibitions. In her last years Joyce was the Collections Technician at the Historic Clay District and continued to support arts and culture through her unstinting volunteer activities.

School Art 2013
35th Anniversary
April 27, 2013 - June 9, 2013
We know spring has finally arrived when the display of blossoming creativity of Medicine Hat and region’s students, from Kindergarten to Grade 12, opens to the sun in our amazing annual School Art exhibition. A Medicine Hat tradition for 35 years, the first School Art exhibition was shown in the spring of 1978 at the previous location of the Art Gallery on Bomford Crescent. School Art has grown from approximately 50 works to over 700 from 41 schools. Paintings, drawings, collages, sculptures, ceramics, photographs, animated and live action video – and some works which are indescribable – impress and inspire viewers with the inventiveness and artistic skills of Medicine Hat students.
Reception refreshments are courtesy of Prairie Rose School Division #8 and presentation materials are courtesy of Medicine Hat School District #76. We thank all volunteers, sponsors, participants, presenters and jurors for their continued support of this program and the promotion of visual arts in our community.
