Culture x Landscape
Each year, organizers Laura Kikauka and Gordon Monahan bring groundbreaking local and international artists together for performances and collaborations. Together they create an unforgettable weekend of adventurous art and some of the best sunsets you will ever see.
What sets Electric Eclectics apart is its unique approach of mixing culture with landscape.
What can you expect? Here’s a sample: Firstly, exposure to “irritainment” — innovative noise art, with the occasional intervention of bucolic valley views and birdsong. Secondly, drinking in the most incredible sunset as you nosh on vegan grilled cheese from Dee’s Quiet Cafe as kids of all ages frolic on the green. Thirdly, tearing the carpet late into the night in the “Valley of the DJs”, music pumping among trees. Finally, you wend your way to your campsite, stargazing as you go, falling asleep under the pre-dawn sky.

Retrospectives: Of Modern Music and Irritainment
As part of our celebration of 20 years, Electric Eclectics has been digging through the archives, unearthing some gems for your irritainment.
Below you’ll find a short film about our inaugrual Electric Eclectics Festival, that brought together forty artists from Canada, the U.S., Europe and Asia. Many thanks to Alexander Hacke and Danielle de Picciotto for documenting this first year of our festival.
