We are excited to be co-sponsoring two screenings for the award-winning film The Art of Adventure. 
The Art of Adventure is an inspiring and deeply human documentary about the extraordinary lifelong friendship between world renowned wildlife artist Robert Bateman and fearless biologist Bristol Foster. Through their epic 1957 journey around the world – armed with a 16mm camera and an artist’s brush – the film opens a vivid window onto a planet once wild and unscarred and a bond formed though curiosity, courage and love of nature.
At it’s heart the film weaves together nature, art and activism showing how two very different men fought to protect the natural world: one thought art, the other through science. Now in their 90’s Bob and Bristol still find sanctuary in nature. Their story is a moving reflection on legacy, mortality and the wisdom of our elders – and a reminder that humanity and nature are inseparable. The Art of Adventure invites us to listen, to learn and to embrace life with curiosity, courage and heart.
​On Friday, November 13th there will be a screening in Dawson City in collaboration with the Klondike Institute of Art and Culture (KIAC). The film will be shown in Whitehorse on Sunday, November 15th. The event will include a question and answer period with the filmmaker Alison Reid as well as a surprise special guest.
The event is being made possible by grants from the Lotteries Yukon and the Yukon Foundation.
