SAT SEP 13 | 7pm | $30 ($10 youth). Sweetgrass Arts & Music Indigenous Showcase. Join us for a powerful evening celebrating Indigenous voices, stories, and songs from around the island. We kick off the night with the soulful sounds of Kai Barrette, a rising local youth artist whose vocals and guitar work promise to stir the heart and set the tone for an unforgettable evening.

Then, step into the rhythm of tradition with Danielle Enblom! Joined by master fiddler Pierre Schryer and guitar virtuoso Adam Dobres, Danielle brings a fiery fusion of Métis step dance, fiddle, and story to the stage. Together, this powerhouse trio delivers a high-energy Métis Kitchen Party that celebrates the rich cultural intersections of Red River Métis, French Canadian, Irish, and Scottish traditions—an irresistible blend of music, dance, and heart.

To close the evening, get ready for a blues storm as Auntie Kate and the Uncles take the stage! Born of Salt Spring roots and Coast Salish lineage, Auntie Kate brings raw blues energy and powerhouse vocals, backed by longtime collaborators Tom Bowler and Dave Roland. With decades of musical synergy, this trio will leave you dancing in your seat and feeling the soul of the West Coast blues tradition.

Presented by Sweetgrass Arts and Music Society in partnership with ArtSpring RoundTable Committee. Tickets at ArtSpring or online at purchase.artspring.ca

ARTSPRING’S ROUNDTABLE COMMITTEE was formed in 2023 as an advisory group leading up to the 25th Anniversary Celebrations of April 2024. It now continues as a robust volunteer community committee comprised of local artists, advocates, guild members, original stakeholders in ArtSpring’s origins, and newcomers to imagine and execute public programming for the community. It represents connecting the art of community spirit with the spirit of community art.

FRI July 18, 7:30pm | The Victoria Times-Colonist called Zachary a “dead ringer for dead singers” for his uncanny ability to replicate the sound and personalities of legendary musicians on stage.

In this intimate r***e, Zachary shares his unusual musical journey portraying the likes of Hank Williams, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Phil Ochs and Buddy Holly. A “Jeff” (Chicago Theatre) Award winner for his outstanding performance in BUDDY: The Buddy Holly Story, Time Out Chicago says “it’s frankly hard to imagine a better Buddy; Stevenson’s all-in performance will stick with you and not fade away.” Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune exclaimed “If you don’t like him, you don’t like much of anybody.”

With intimate stories and iconic songs, Dead Ringer is a charming glimpse inside the actor’s life and the artists he inhabits. With vivid characterizations and meticulous musical authenticity, this charming tribute is proof that legends never truly die.

Join the Treasure Fair fun!

Our Story

ArtSpring is an 11,800 square-foot, two-level heavy timber structure boasting a 5,200-square-foot exhibition/ multi- purpose area and a 6,600-square-foot, 265-seat theatre.

ArtSpring’s activities are primarily associated with rentals by local professionals, semi-professionals, amateurs, school groups, guilds, and visual artists. Events presented by ArtSpring are chosen to complement, enhance, and diversify what is already available through local arts organizations. The building was officially opened by artists Birgit and Robert Bateman in April 1999. Photo by Ale Mendoza.
