With this new year, opportunities seem to be coming in from all directions! I am very fortunate to have a show in two public galleries this spring/summer, showing my very first retrospective survey! Hard to believe at this green age, but I’ve got the work and I’m showing it! Look At All the Things We’ve Found: a ten year survey of paintingsby Meghan Hildebrand opens at the Langham Cultural Centre on March 30, then will open at the Yukon Arts Centre Gallery June 7.
I’ll be showing new work at Madrona Gallery this spring too - Flotsam, Jetsam, Lagan and Derelict opens April 7. We’ve got our fingers crossed for some live music since that was so nice last year!
And in punk rock news, The Abbie Hoffman Society, my band, is going on tour this summer!! With the irrepressible Slim Milkie. Watch for the July tour dates. We’re looking at Cortes Island, Cumberland, Duncan, Nanaimo, Victoria, Vancouver, Roberts Creek with a victorious wind-up show in Powell Riviera.
People often ask me if they can pay for an original in installments, and now Paypal offers the technology to do automatic, monthly payments. Powell River residents can lease to own pre-2008 originals, over 1, 2 or 3 years! Come to our gallery Sunday February 5 and choose yours! Go home with a painting!!
SUNDAY FEBRUARY 5, noon to 4 pm. 6820 Cranberry Street.

Sorry to announce Hank & Lily will NOT be performing – however there will be OTHER great live music!
A couple weeks ago, my band created a short film during the 24-Hour Film Contest – part of the Powell River Film Fest. Directed by our frontwoman Laura Hoffman and filmed and edited by Bad Karen, the 3-minute film stars the band with special guests, and features our song “Welcome to Powell Riviera” ! The films entered will be shown this weekend at the Patricia Theatre in Townsite (1 pm on Sunday) Then I will post the film here – so stay tuned. In other news, the band has a label interested in putting out our first album!
I’ve been playing with the Abbie Hoffman Society for the better part of the year, we’re an all women ‘art punk’ band, I guess, and we have a set of 10 original songs to play for the first time in public!! Saturday Dec 11 at the Cranberry Community Hall. There will be other bands PLUS DJs for this awesome event in support of local community radio!!
