August 14th the Chili Thom Gallery will host a killer art show at the gallery. It's called "A Forest for the trees"
There will be tonnes of local artists, photographers and jewelers works in a totally transformed gallery. The entire place will be covered with green forest and tree paintings and photos, as well as lots of added greenery to give a cool forest feel. The show will be up for at least three weeks...so tell your friends and swing by some time during those few weeks.
It'll be well worth it!! - Chili Thom

The carving is a joint effort by the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation and the SLCC to increase the profile of Aboriginal Tourism in the region. 

Guests, community members and staff are welcome to visit the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre in Whistler’s Upper Village to meet the carver, assist him in his carving and take some of shavings as mementos from their experience. The welcome figure is expected to be placed in the Whistler Alpine in August, 2010.
