ART EXHIBITION - "HANGING GARDEN - STRANGE BOTANICALS" BY LYSA BROMAROFF

JUNE 4 - JULY 3: 9:30AM - 7PM

 

In the Hall of One Hundred Rivers. Lysa has spent five years creating her unique photo archive and almost two years growing her own art company: Fertile Images and Design. The Hanging Garden show will feature several large canvases from Lysa’s strange botanicals and your pad is golden series, plus some framed photographic prints of ginko and other fine foliage taken at the garden.


“Lysa’s fascination with the plant world has brought her
to our garden many times,” says Kathy Gibler, the Executive
Director of Canada ’s only Classical Chinese garden,
located in the heart of Vancouver's Chinatown. “Not only has she cap-
tured our flora as only she can, her images of our koi fish
and the waterlily pond are turning out to be some of her
most sought-after artworks.”

~A One-Of-a-Kind Theatrical Experience~

The China Tea Deal

Produced by the Seven Tyrants Theatre

 

 

Journey back in time to the year 1700. In China, the Qing forces from the north have just solidified their overthrow of the Ming Dynasty, leaving China in the hands of a new regime for the first time in 300 years. In England, the demand for Chinese tea explodes. The King is adamant that permanent trade relations with the Far East be established.

Come enlist in the exciting adventure—join Captain Bispin Woodfellow and his crew on an East India Company expedition to the mouth of the Yangtze River. Help the Captain bargain for the exotic tea and riches of China. Find yourself face to face with the beautiful Garden City of Suzhou and 5000 years of history when you’re invited to the local Scholar’s garden for an evening of entertainment!
