February will find the Carrot Coffeehouse full of festivities celebrating Black History Month, with an event called “Rhythms of the Earth”. You won’t want to miss the artists we have lined up!
All month long you can come and see the visual gallery, comprised of local artists that are also part for the “5 Artists One Love” exhibition at the AGA. The Carrot will feature work by: Khiry Crooks, Lorien Maheu, Adrian Louden, Brett Miles, and Elsa Robinson.
Other highlights for the month include:
A Poetry Slam with established poets around the city, including some of this city’s up and coming young artists, and a hip hop performance by The Overachievers.
Adje Performers will make another appearance on the Ave – if you missed them at Deep Freeze, you won’t want to miss them here! They’ll help get the month warmed up with their drumming this weekend!
After listening to Adje, if you are inspired to learn how to play a djembe, take an African Drumming Workshop with DrumAdrumDRUM.
Dr. Bitupu, Junetta Jamerson, and Tololwa Mollel are all fantastic Storytellers. From their lips you will hear oral stories of immigration that have been passed down through generations, mythology, and other traditional stories.
Mama Afro will do a braiding demonstration, and Jean Nipp talk about her clothing designs, inspired by Northern and Western Africa tradition.
So as you can see, there’s a lot to look forward to this February, as we celebrate Black History Month. Come enjoy a hot beverage celebrate with us!

Avenue and Alleys is an Arts on the Ave fundraiser
Register a team of 4 bowlers and come down to Plaza Bowl to complete in a classic bowling tournament. Each team commits to raising $600 (that’s only $150 each!) and the prizes donated by Bell are fantastic!
Teams must be registered by Friday, June 4th and monies by Friday, June 11th.
For more information about Avenue and Alleys, contact Katherine Huising (khuising@telus.net)
About Plaza Bowl
Located in the basement of a strip mapp, not far from the 118th Avenue traffic circle on 104 Street, this 16-lane, 5-pin bowlerama has been rolling along since 1960, and not much has changed over the years. Take a step back in time with Betty, Veronica and Archie. It still relies on the tried-and-true manual scoring, so you can brush up on your math while you bowl.
