Kitimat maintains a vibrant and diverse arts & culture scene Imaginative residents, modern infrastructure and a strong regional presence of the Haisla First Nation together provide an ideal environment for artistic and cultural endeavors. Artists have made Kitimat their home, adding that extra touch of creativity to the town. Kitimat artists, working in watercolour, acrylic and pastel, offer wonderful views of the Northwest region through their unique artistic styles. Long time resident, Les Dunlop’s works of art in stone of woodland animals, particularly bears, are featured in private galleries in Whistler, Banff and Jasper. Haisla master carver Sammy Robinson of Kitamaat Village has created beauty in wood of Haisla clan symbols and stories. Both artists have an international clientele. The Kitimat Museum & Archives, a public gallery, offers visual arts exhibitions for new and established artists and photographers. Kitimat boasts its share of artistic endeavors – from public art with murals around town and exhibitions at the Museum, to private galleries of Haisla First Nation carving at Kitamaat and visual arts in Kitimat’s retail space. Given the beauty of the landscape, Kitimat has many active photographers. The Kitimat Concert Association hosts its season of popular performances from September to June. The local amateur theatre group, On Cue Players, presents plays in the fall and spring. Kitimat has a strong performing arts interest for youth in speech arts, music and dance. Performances take place at Mount Elizabeth Theatre – The MET, an intimate 512 seat performance facility. |
