The North Vancouver Community Arts
Council and MELD Arts
are pleased to present:
Essence - art celebrating the roles,
struggles, and triumphs of all women
APRIL 27 TO MAY 26, 2018 Opening Reception:
Thursday, April 26, 7-9pm CityScape Community
Art Space 335 Lonsdale, North Vancouver, British
Columbia
Responding to violence and ha-
rassment of women amid continu-
ing gender discrimination in the
work place, Essence will ask these
important questions: What is the
essence of a woman? What chal-
lenges stand in the way of their well-
being? What can one do to support
those who are so essential to the
world’s wellbeing?
Essence will provide a creative
dimension to the multifaceted char-
acter and spirit of women by high-
lighting in vivid colours and shapes
their roles, struggles, and triumphs.
The exhibition seeks to challenge
you, the viewer, to examine how you
treat and speak about the women in
your lives.
Five artists of Filipino descent,

who are creating award-winning
works in their home away from their
motherland, simultaneously living
in at least two cultures, are making
ripples that begin with a unique per-
spective in subject and mark-mak-
ing. Lead artist, Esmie Gayo McLar-
en, asks, “What ripple effect are you
creating? What can one human be-
ing do to make the world a kinder
place for women and ultimately for
everyone?” The artists aim to spark
a conversation about personal solu-
tions to women’s issues.
Essence will feature the works
of three female visual artists Esmie
Gayo McLaren (Vancouver), Lenore
RS Lim (Vancouver, New York,
and Manila), and
