The Institute
The Emily Isaacson Institute was founded in 2005 and is located in Mission, BC Canada.
We are an affiliate of the Lucy Maud Montgomery Institute and the Canadian Federation of Poets.
The Emily Isaacson Institute invites you to look with new eyes into the
study of the self-disciplined artist and the influence of the arts on character
development. Contemplate for a moment, the history of both musical and artistic
time periods, and the change by individuals of influence needed to bring about
a new era. Artists whose work was new and different were often rejected at
first, to rise to fame later, being celebrated only after their death. Literature has been
notorious for recognizing the effect of a writer and being forthcoming with
publishing praise only after their death, and even prolific writers have been known
to lead very reclusive lifestyles, negligent to publishing.
To come into the prolific expanse of a reclusive soul, temperate
and even in personality and promise, is the insight of the Institute in
displaying the work of young writer and artist Emily Isaacson. Her founding
faith in the promise of youth, and their development through the arts “their passion is their forward movement” led her to the board of the
Mission Arts Council and The Waterhouse Foundation.
Emily's contemporary use of
language, thematic stylistic poetry and postmodern political bent, philosophic
in genre has captured the heart of a country. She is and will forever be
Canadian, although a dual citizen of two countries. Her emphasis retains both
solitude and the public persona, her light voice of candor is a walk through
the mountain countryside of a small town in British Columbia, yet she is as
furious in scope as the ocean in storm of the island city where she grew up in Victoria, B.C.
Poetry is a flowery field, and emotions run rampant,
yet a singular character of solidarity has won our trust by a resonant note of
both word paintings and descriptive pathos coupled with morality and a
spiritual mysticism. Emily’s world leaves much to be discovered about the
windows to the soul, the liberation of the prophetic, and the solitary
discipline of the writer’s neck of the woods.
Emily Isaacson, PPABC, will be exhibiting her analogue photography at the Mission Art Gallery in September 2010. Visit Voetelle Gallery where she exhibits her work online each year.
