SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:BRUNCH OF DREAMS – a post-sleepover party \nSunday\, July 27th. 11 am – 4 pm \nAt the KIAC Artist Residence in the Macaulay House and Yard space. \nCindy Baker and roses invite you to their Brunch of Dreams\, a post-sleepover party-style performative workshop and art installation where you will be encouraged to share your dreams\, play art games of chance\, and leave with a permanent magical memento inked onto your body by the artists themselves. \nTake time to rest\, tend\, and attune to shared symbology as we partake in aftercare rituals – bask in the energy of the afterglow. \nWear your pyjamas\, bring a snack or drink to share (brunch\, coffee\, and mimosas provided)\, and your collaborative spirit that we may create a space for generosity and care. \n  \nMacaulay House Artists in Residence: Roseanna Joy Nay (roses) and Cindy Baker  \nDuring their residency at the Macaulay House\, artists Roseanna Joy Nay (roses) and Cindy Baker will explore themes of intergenerational queer mentorship\, shared intimacy\, and the unconscious mind through a collaborative\, exploratory art practice. Their project will focus on the intersection of personal and collective dreams\, using an intuitive\, object-driven process to develop a shared language of symbols\, histories\, and queer vernacular.\nInformed by the landscape of Dawson City and the local history\, the duo will embark on a creative journey that blends the conscious and unconscious—allowing their dreams and waking experiences to intertwine.\nTheir practice will focus on building an embodied “dreamspace\,” where daily rituals\, found objects\, handmade props\, and materials drawn from their shared queer semiology will help manifest a collaborative unconscious landscape. While the exact outcome of their residency remains open-ended\, their aim is to create a space where meaning emerges from irrational imagery\, dreams\, and everyday interactions.\nThe residency will be a deep dive into the ways intimate\, intergenerational queer relationships inform artistic creation\, with an emphasis on mutual care and exchange. Both artists hope that the residency will help refine their collaborative process\, enriching their work and inspiring new ideas that might evolve into future public or private presentations.

SUMMARY:@canada.gov.ca - LIVE in Dawson City\, Yukon
DESCRIPTION:The admin makes his journey to the Paris of the North for the first time\n—\nwell folks – I will be honest\, this is the show I have been most excited for since I started doing shows across Canada in January of 2023. “One day” I said to myself\, “I will go to Dawson City.” That time has come. After a series of sold out shows in Calgary\, Edmonton\, Saskatoon and Winnipeg in January\, the Admin is now looking to close the loop with shows in Victoria and Whitehorse\, Dawson City and maybe more 🙂 Be sure to be a part of this and get your tickets quickly because this show at Dënäkär Zho – Klondike Institute of Art & Culture is sure to sell out! And the afterparty? We have you covered. The whole gang will take the party over to The Pit where yours truly will likely be dropping house music edits of your favourite CanCon hits LOL. DJ Admin? Sure. But what is the show exactly? Imagine a couple drinks with a knowledgeable friend – who just happens to have a PowerPoint presentation ready 😂 somewhere between formal and informal. A tipsy ted talk\, if you will. It’s not stand-up\, it’s not a podcast\, it’s @canada.gov.ca – see you there!\n—\nCLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS\nAct fast\, we expect a sell-out

SUMMARY:WEAVING THE MIDNIGHT SUN
DESCRIPTION:CLOSED SATURDAY JUNE 21ST for INDIGENOUS PEOPLE’S DAY \nDates: June 12th – August 30th\, 2025 Gallery Hours: Tuesdays – Fridays: 10am – 5pm & Saturdays: 12 – 4pm Location: ODD Gallery\, Dënäkär Zho |  KIAC Indigenous Territory: Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in territory\, Dawson City\, Yukon \n\n\n\n\n\nWEAVING THE MIDNIGHT SUN\n\n\n\nWeaving the Midnight Sun is a celebration of fibre practice in the Yukon — a region shaped by long winters\, luminous summers\, and the steady rhythm of handwork passed between generations. This exhibition brings together the work of artists and makers from the Northern Fibres Guild\, an organization that has supported and nurtured Yukon fibre artists since its beginnings in 1974. \n\n\n\nRooted in traditional techniques like spinning\, weaving\, dyeing\, and felting\, and expanding into contemporary interpretations of textile art\, these works speak to the resourcefulness\, creativity\, and quiet resilience of making in the North. Each piece carries a unique story — of material transformed\, of time held in stitch and thread\, of ideas shared in community. \n\n\n\nLike the midnight sun itself\, these works radiate warmth\, clarity\, and a sense of wonder. They invite us to consider the power of slow\, intentional creation — and the ways in which fibre connects us to the land\, to each other\, and to the long thread of creative practice that we continue to weave together. \n\n\n\nNorthern Fibres Guild\n\n\n\nThe Northern Fibres Guild is a community of artists\, makers\, and enthusiasts dedicated to the fibre arts in the Yukon. Founded in 1974 as the Yukon Weavers’ Guild\, the organization has grown over the decades to embrace a wide range of traditional and contemporary textile practices — including spinning\, weaving\, dyeing\, knitting\, felting\, sewing\, and more. Based in Whitehorse and open to members from across the territory and beyond\, the Guild provides a welcoming space for people of all skill levels to learn\, create\, and connect. Through regular workshops\, exhibitions\, artist talks\, and social events\, we foster the exchange of knowledge\, ideas\, and inspiration among fibre lovers of all backgrounds. Our members are united by a shared appreciation for slow\, hands-on making and the rich creative possibilities of natural and reclaimed materials. Whether you’re just picking up a drop spindle for the first time or have years of experience behind a loom\, the Northern Fibres Guild is here to support your fibre journey. Join us to be part of a vibrant\, intergenerational community where creativity is nurtured\, skills are shared\, and the threads of tradition and innovation are woven together in the North.. \n\n\n\nWe are grateful for the support of Canada Council for the Arts along with the Yukon Tourism and Culture Arts Operating Funds

SUMMARY:ARTIST TALK - Beyond the Algorithm: Art\, Ethics\, and AI with Cat Bluemke
DESCRIPTION:How can artists harness artificial intelligence as a meaningful tool rather than a threat? Join artist and educator Cat Bluemke for an engaging talk exploring her evolving practice at the intersection of emerging technologies\, game design\, and critical art-making. Drawing from years of boundary-pushing work\, Bluemke will share her journey and speak directly to the promises and perils of AI in creative spaces. \nThrough personal insight and practical examples\, this talk explores how AI can support artistic autonomy\, community engagement\, and collective authorship—without erasing the ethics of intellectual labor. Aimed at artists\, technologists\, and skeptics alike\, the conversation will also address pressing concerns around copyright\, consent\, and the commercialization of generative tools. \nThe session includes a 30-minute presentation of Bluemke’s work\, a 15-minute reflection on AI as a creative medium\, and a 20-30-minute open Q&A where attendees are encouraged to ask hard questions and challenge assumptions.

SUMMARY:Film Workshop: Cameraless filmmaking
DESCRIPTION:SCRATCH IT OUT! \nA great opportunity for participants to make their own 35mm animated or experimental film without a camera and without processing film. Animators like Norman McLaren and Len Lye explored the technique of direct cinema in the 1930s and almost 90 years later\, it still continuously surprises audiences. \nThe workshop will explore the multiple techniques of cameraless filmmaking and discover new ones along the way. Over the course of the week\, participants will be introduced to materials and tools that can be applied effectively through scratching\, painting and collage – directly on to the surface of motion picture film. We will also learn efficient methods of digitizing the work as moving image files using DIY scanning methods and re-purposing existing applications. \nAs the week progresses\, we take our ideas further\, shaping our projects with digital sound and music. And finally\, we will give our project life\, discovering new ways to implement finished films with popular digital editing and projection software. \nThe final workshop film will be shown at Sunday evening’s 8pm screening. \nThis workshop will take place in 3 parts\, allowing participants to work extensively on their pieces of film with the mentor available for questions and advice. \nIn the KIAC CLassroom \nTuesday\, April 15\, 6-9pm \nWednesday\, April 16\, 6-9pm \nFriday\, April 18\, Noon-3pm \nParticipants can come to one\, 2 or all 3 sessions. \nThe workshop is free.

This Hal Ashby classic retelling of Jerzy Kosinski’s 1970 novel couldn’t be more relevant in the spring of 2025 as it beautifully reveals that we are all so drawn to the vague rhetoric and sculpted image of our screens and that none of us is actually really listening to one another. \nDoors at 6:30\nFree admission (Cash concession)

To mark this milestone\, KIAC and DCMF are teaming up for a concert series that brings back some of the most beloved participants from the past two decades. \nThe series ends with a bang on March 22nd with a performance by Skye Wallace (Toronto\, ON). Skye was DCMF’s 13th Songwriter-in-Residence in 2018. During her short stay in Dawson\, she dove headlong into Dawson culture\, hosting a radio show on CFYT and even joining a curling team. \nShe makes her triumphant return to Dawson in March for a weeklong mini-residency. This time she is bringing with her one of the finest rock bands in the Country. The perfect way to complete this 20th Anniversary celebration! \nABOUT SKYE WALLACE \nWith a voice that soars and captivates\, Skye Wallace has earned a reputation as one of Canada’s most compelling artists. Their blend of folk\, rock\, and alternative influences\, along with their ability to craft emotive and impactful lyrics\, has won critical acclaim and a devoted fan base. The Act of Living marks Wallace’s latest artistic evolution\, offering an exploration of life’s most profound experiences\, with songs that are both cathartic and reflective. Produced alongside Hawksley Workman and released on Tiny Kingdom\, The Act of Living finds Skye fully embracing the grungy\, unbridled enthusiasm of their live performances\, as they invite listeners on a journey of near-death experiences\, dream worlds\, loss\, and rebirth. \nThanks to our funders and partners:\nCanada Council for the Arts | Government of Canada | Yukon Government | Park Canada | North Klondyke Highway Music Society
