TWISTED TREES: Display at Blue Chair until March 2025
Renee Henthorne is a local artist who is a huge advocate for reuse. The idea for twisted trees came from leftover wire from her garage build. Now she’s recycling wire from stoves and extension cords. All items that go into the trees, from wire and beads to rocks and wood (even the labels), are recycled. She sources from individuals clearing out items rather than new if at all possible. Commissions available upon request.

Live Music
Blue Chair has been one of Canada's premiere live-music venues for over 18 years. When we have shows with covers, we will add the charge to your tab. Please make a reservation as we do fill up quickly.
Parties of 4 or more will be asked for a table deposit of $50 and parties of 10 or more is $100 when attending our shows. This will be deducted from your tab on the evening of the show. This is not part of the cover but a deposit to hold the table.
Cancellation Policy: 24 hours notice prior to the start of the show for a full refund of the deposit.
We have limited seating and request all reservations call for any adjustments to your party. The advanced notice is to help us accomodate your booking and allow us time to sell any extra tickets.

Current Art Exhibition
Maya Stephens: @classichorrormovie/Maya’s sociology undergraduate has massively influenced her pieces and their themes, often conveying notions of societal expectations and norms, especially those relating to femininity, gender, conformity, and sexuality. While she has been playing with art in all mediums for over a decade, in 2024 Maya found herself collaging more than anything, bringing to life pieces that were very influential in solidifying her style. These pieces relate to sex, pleasure, hedonism, femininity, power, and gendered expectations.
Inspired by the past, Maya often sources from vintage communication ads, playboys, national geographics, film stills, and life magazines. The use of such influential pieces of popular media is purposeful beyond the images selected. These images, while small are abundant in meaning. We are what we consume, the medium is the message, and the apple does not fall far from the tree.
Beyond collaging, Maya enjoys playing with acrylic, bright colours, cartoon nostalgia & exaggerated features. Outside of art, Maya continually prioritizes love, passion, creativity & play.
