How these artists beat – or embrace – an Edmonton heat wave
Some artists aren't letting the heat stifle their creativity. Temperatures in the city for the August long weekend are supposed to sit around 30 C, meaning Edmontonians are preparing to relax, stay cool and enjoy the sun. But artists like Leah Kudel aren't trying to beat the heat. In fact, the owner and lead glassblower at Suspended Studio consistently works in 'balmy' temperatures of 39 C and up. 'We drink fizzy water like it's going out of style. Hydration salts. We also just douse our heads in cold water,' Kudel said. 'And we try to blow earlier in the morning.' Kudel's been working beside a furnace making intricate glass works of art for the last 15 years. Ideal working weather, she said, is anything between 20 C and minus 15. Kudel Leah Kudel works in her studio on July 31, 2025. (Nahreman Issa/CTV News Edmonton) When that's not feasible, though, Kudel urges everyone in the shop to 'temporize to the heat.' 'You just pretend you're living in a hotter country, like your body gets used to doing it a little bit more,' she said. She's also very familiar with the signs of heat stroke. Between the oxy propane torch, furnace and end-of-July heat, Kudel said the studio's airflow is put to the test. 'As long as there's a breeze, everything's going to feel a little bit better,' she said. Some artists, like Ashley Thimot, take it one step further by pretending they're in a winter wonderland year-round. Thimot is primarily an oil painter who specializes in scenes of nature, which she creates from a chilled basement that includes a running space heater.

(Nahreman Issa/CTV News Edmonton) While she does some summertime landscapes, she recreates many photos of winter from her neighbourhood in the Ottewell area. 'For me, the main thing is drama. Drama just makes for a more compelling composition and painting,' Thimot said. For Thimot, that means lots of fall and winter scenes. She likes making many of her winter pieces to convey the temperature of snow, which is one of her favourite things to paint. 'When you catch a sunrise or a sunset, even in the winter, the snow will reflect that light … which is so magical,' she said. 'Colour schemes really help to convey that feeling of being cold.' Both Kudel and Thimot are dedicated to their craft, rain or shine, hot or cold. 'Just because it's hot doesn't mean we can take vacation all summer, sadly,' Kudel said.

‘A Star Is Born' producer Lynette Howell Taylor elected president of Oscars org
Veteran producer Lynette Howell Taylor has been elected president of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. Taylor will succeed Janet Yang in the role, presiding over the organization that puts on the Oscars, film academy CEO Bill Kramer said Thursday. An academy member since 2014, Taylor has served the organization in several high-profile positions, including as vice president and chair of the awards committee. She's also a prolific film producer whose works include 'A Star Is Born' (2018), 'Blue Valentine' and 'The Accountant.' She also produced the 92nd Oscars broadcast. Taylor is now the fifth woman to lead the film academy. The outgoing president, Yang, was elected to the position in 2022 and served in the role for the maximum of three years. Kramer said in a statement that Taylor has been a vital part of the board of governors and singled out how she 'revitalized our awards work.' Several officers were also elected by the board, including actor Lou Diamond Phillips as chair of the equity and inclusion committee and producer Jennifer Fox, who will chair the awards committee. Weekly A weekly look at what's happening in Winnipeg's arts and entertainment scene. 'This is an exceptional group of Academy members who will advance the Academy's mission, support our membership around the world, ensure our long-term financial stability, and celebrate the achievements of the global filmmaking community,' Kramer said. After years of declining ratings, the Oscars have been on an upswing the past few years. March's broadcast, in which 'Anora' won five Oscars, drew some 19.7 million viewers, a slight uptick from the ceremony the year prior, when 'Oppenheimer' dominated. The organization has already announced that Conan O'Brien will return as host in 2026 and has made several big changes for the future, including adding a stunt design award, starting with films released in 2027, and one for casting directors, which goes into effect this year.
