In this version of ‘The Artist Lounge’ we are on the search for our guests who had been lost in the transit maze in Vancouver. Eventually the stars aligned and we had a great show with the Autumn Portrait, Marisa Chandler and Deb Thompson. We talk about things creative, explore the post-Olympic glow and the topic of Nationalism.

HOMELESSNESS MATTERS
CJSF 90.1FM issues a call-out for Vancouver’s Homeless Musicians to perform in a Live Radio Event.
CJSF Campus/Community radio is calling for homeless musicians in the lower mainland to contact the radio in order to take part in this year’s Vancouver segment of the Homelessness Marathon broadcast.
On Tuesday, February 23 from 8-10 pm, the W2 Culture + Media House at 112 West Hastings will be the location for the Vancouver segment of the national Homelessness Marathon. The event will be hosted by Ryan Fletcher of CJSF’s Melodies in Mind and Jay Peachy, local artist with DTES Gallery Gachet and producer of Sound Therapy Radio, an arts and mental health program also on CJSF.
As an artist and mental health advocate, Peachy sees hosting homeless musicians on the program as a personal mission:
“They relate to me personally as an artist and a mental health advocate, and they are also my friends,” said Peachy adding that this year’s show has even more importance because of the homelessness issues surrounding the Olympics.
The Homelessness Marathon is a 14 hour national community/campus radio program featuring the voices and stories of homeless people in the United States and Canada. In Canada, the program is carried out by over 40 different community radio stations and is available for free to all non-commercial broadcasters online.
Alongside CJSF, CITR and Co-Op Radio will also be taking part in this year’s Marathon.
The deadline for musicians to contact the station is Sunday, Feb 21. The artists can reach the station by phone at 778-782-4423; by email at [email protected]; or by leaving a message for CJSF at 112 W. Hastings.

On our show last nite we interviewed Lisa Walker an artist from Gallery Gachet. She talked about her exhibition: Migration Patterns. It so happens that we had a deep discussion about the experience of home. It made me realize how important the word ‘home’ is.
When we speak about homelessness, its really more sophisticated than housing and a roof over ones head. Its about a feeling of safety, emotion, love, creativity, free play and all the beautiful things in the world. Many take for granted the meaning of ‘HOME’. For those that don’t have it, its a void they likely don’t know how to fill. They find other ways to achieve it, however it is not sustainable or something they believe is under their control.
I recall a time in my life where there was much consternation, I somehow found myself back home. It became a place where free childhood memories came to mind, there were other ones (maybe not so nice) too. However, the feeling of peace associated with it still seemed to overcome. It became about simplicity in a complicated time in my life, it was grounding when I was lost in the clouds and it was a trusted life raft in what I perceived were oceans of despair.
It really saddens me that many do not get to have this feeling of safety, this respite from a scattered world. People deserve the feeling of home, no matter what their circumstances or the poor choices they may have made in the past. Home is a part of human nature and ‘HOME’ lessness is a word that is bigger than we really have come to believe it is. It is difficult yet important work to give everyone the chance at having the feeling of HOME.
Lisa Walker’s exhibit: Migration Patterns runs until January 3, 2010 at Gallery Gachet

GALLERY GACHET
- Gallery Gachet is a unique artistic institution founded in Vancouver in 1992. Named after Vincent Van Gogh’s homeopathic doctor, Paul Gachet.
- Gallery Gachet strives to provide a focal point for dialogue amongst outsider/dissident artists.
- We aim to use the canvas of the outside work to educate and demystify the public on issues related to mental health and to advance the artistic discourse around these issues.
- We provide the artists informed by mental health issues with opportunities to exhibit, curate, perform, read, teach and to develop their leadership skills.
Located at 88 East Cordova Street, close to the diverse populations that reside in Vancouver’s neighborhoods.
TOUCHED BY FIRE
Touched By Fire is a program to stimulate and celebrate the work created by artists with mood disorders. (There are many such artists well known in art history, from Michelangelo to van Gogh, Gauguin to Georgia O’Keefe.) The program has two complementary features: an annual week-long show, held every year November, and this online virtual gallery.
Touched By Fire is not a fund-raising effort, but a non-profit program dedicated exclusively to the work and future development of its artists.
Touched by Fire is a dedication to Rebecca Burghardt who tragically took her own life in July 2005. Family and friends were devastated – but also, they were determined to continue Rebecca’s struggle, seeking happier pathways for others with similar talents and similar problems. Rebecca’s illness had already led her father, John Burghardt, to become deeply involved as a communications volunteer with the Mood Disorders Association of Ontario. The family decided to make a bequest to MDAO in Rebecca’s name.
John, Rebecca’s father, met with Karen Liberman, Executive Director of MDAO, and Rebecca DiFilippo, Editor/Publisher of Moods Magazine, seeking to build not just a memorial, but a road forward against mood disorders. The result is Touched By Fire.

In recognition of Mental Health Week, CJSF 90.1 FM in partnership with Gallery Gachet will presented a special May 4th episode of their two Tuesday Night radio programs. The Artist Lounge and Melodies in Mind hosted by Jay Peachy and Ryan Fletcher will broadcast their programs live in front of a studio audience at Gachet’s artist space on 88 East Cordova Street in Vancouver.
The Artist Lounge (7-8pm) guests and performers will included singer/songwriters Naomi Lippett, Dan Mangan and Gallery Gachet Collective members Stephen Long, Karen Ward and Quin Martins;
Melodies in Mind (8-10pm) hosted the talents of musicians Bryan Anderson, Karen Larson, and Nadia Von Hahn.
As artists we are always challenging the status quo, pushing the boundaries of thought and exposing elements of our soul. It may seem like a glamorous and inspirational life, but there are side effects, it can be an emotional vortex that can suck the life right out of you. So how do artists manage their Creative Minds? Especially those with the added burden of having a mental disorder. We bring different perspectives on this topic.
In this weeks version of ‘The Artist Lounge’ are Gallery Gachet Collective Members, Quin Martins, Karen Ward and Stephen Long. They will talk about the Gallery and the process of creating Art in spite of having a Mental Disorder. In addition, we had local musican and arts advocate in studio Naomi Lippett.
Our Feature guest, Vancouver based, Singer Songwriter Dan Mangan shared his perspective on the topic and performed for us live.
