The Greater Sudbury Heritage Museums

Presents Free Weaving and Spinning Demonstrations

Weaving is a way of making cloth by crossing threads over and under one another. Many kinds of cloth and most blankets, clothing, and rugs are woven.  Weavers often use a machine called a loom to help them weave. 

A spinning wheel is used to spin fiber into yarn or thread. It consists of a large wheel and a spindle set on a frame.  Spinning was first used in the production of simple ropes, cords and fishing lines and, later, to create yarns. 

Come out to the Anderson Farm Museum, on Highway 24 in Lively for free weaving and spinning demonstrations every Tuesday from August 3^rd   to August 24^th .   Drop in between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to see how it is all done.

For more information about these interesting demonstrations, please contact: Jim Fortin, Curator of the Greater Sudbury Heritage Museums at 692-4448

Come out and join us.    Give it a spin!

COALITION FOR A LIVEABLE SUDBURY PHOTO CONTEST INVITES RESIDENTS TO SHARE THEIR LOCAL PICTURES

What are the landmarks that define your sense of place? What features of your neighbourhood make it special? What are your favourite and least favourite places near to home? What changes have or could make your community better – for your quality of life, for contributing to a pleasant surrounding, for being more sustainable, or for creating improvements of other kinds?


Coalition for a Liveable Sudbury invites residents to think about some of these questions as they get out and about with their digital camera this spring and summer. Pictures are a great way to show your own views and visions of your community – and to share in those of others.


Submit your photos to the Coalition for a Liveable Sudbury photo contest: sudburypics@hotmail.com. Include your name, and a short description.


Contest categories are:
Natural Beauty: green spaces, wildlife, wetlands, hilltop views - there is no shortage of natural beauty in Greater Sudbury. Share your favourite shots!
Community Revitalization: a new park, a beautification project, tree planting, a neighbourhood clean-up, a community art project - send us your pictures of how our community is being revitalized!
Where you want change: an eyesore, a street corner desperately needing a crosswalk, a missing bike lane, an abandoned lot with untapped potential, a site of environmental concern - show us the places where you'd like to see change, and tell us your vision of how to make it better!
Your favourite quirky spots: show us your personal landmarks, the neighbourhood places that have meaning to you, the thing that makes you smile every time you see it, the special sight that gives your neighbourhood character...
Going Green: have you joined a community garden, installed a solar heater, replaced your lawn with native plants and installed a rain barrel, left your car behind? Show off how you and/or your neighbours have gone green!

Prizes will be awarded in each category. There will also be a youth prize for entrants 18 or younger, and a prize for the overall best entry.

The Coalition for a Liveable would like to thank Photo World foto source, Eat Local Sudbury, Planet Earth Organic Landscaping, City of Greater Sudbury, and John Lindsay for donation of prizes.

The deadline for entries is September 30, 2010. For more information, see www.liveablesudbury.org.
 

   NEW SUMMER FESTIVAL ANNOUNCED FOR GREATER SUDBURY
>
> Mayor John Rodriguez was on hand today to announce a new summer
> festival for the City of Greater Sudbury. This August, the Northern Free
> Theatre (NFT), a new non-profit theatre festival, will convert Tom
> Davies Square into an open-air theatrical venue to bring Shakespeare to
> our community in a fun, contemporary format.
>
> “Northern Free Theatre is a new, unique and exciting addition to our
> growing creative industry,” said Mayor Rodriguez. “Transforming Tom
> Davies Square into a living almanac of Shakespeare’s time gives
> Sudbury the opportunity to showcase classical theatre in a contemporary
> setting and gives residents and tourists alike a great night out for the
> whole family.”
>
> For its first season, NFT will present a celebrated production of Romeo
> & Juliet by the internationally acclaimed Classical Theatre Project
> (CTP), Canada’s largest producer of Shakespeare for teenage
> audiences.
>
> “This production of Romeo & Juliet is fast-paced, emotional and
> entertaining. Although it was built for 17-year olds, it resonates with
> the 17-year old in all of us,” commented Charles Roy, co-founder of
> NFT. “Sitting in the audience feels more like being at a rock concert
> than at the theatre.”
>
> Those who attend an NFT performance are asked to donate what they can
> to the festival, which is largely supported by sponsors.
>
> “If you have 5 cents, $5 or $50 it doesn’t matter. Cost will not be
> a deterrent,” said David Galpern, co-founder of NFT. “We want to
> create a great night out this summer in Sudbury and we are excited to
> contribute to the cultural community in the north.”
>
> “Our community has proven time and again that we are engaged on the
> cultural level,” commented Mayor Rodriguez. “The fiscal
> sustainability of an enterprise of the kind only adds to the appeal.”
>
>
> NFT is scheduled to run from Tuesday, August 17 to Saturday, September
> 4. Proceeds from each performance will be donated to a charity or a
> community project.
>
> About the Northern Free Theatre (NFT):
>
> Northern Free Theatre is a not-for-profit theatre festival designed to
> create exciting encounters with art in downtown Sudbury. NFT aims to
> build Northern Ontario’s leading outdoor cultural festival bringing
> music, dance, theatre, film and visual arts to the heart of Sudbury. For

Together, they represent an impressive collection of experimental works that reflect the dynamic contemporary arts scene in Canada.

Marc Audette from Toronto will superpose two videographic projections in his container, where he will create the impression of limits that one should not cross.

Laura Barron from Toronto will create a video installation that draws upon her Mexican origins.

Jean-Denis Boudreau from Moncton intends to exploit the exterior surfaces of his container, using ropes, chains, paint and powder.

H鬨ne Lefebvre from Ottawa will explore the human-animal relationship in a performance-installation that incorporates objects and sounds associated with the animal world.

Duane Linklater and Tanya Lukin from North Bay will draw from their Native culture to explore the human-animal relationship as well, integrating ritual elements, personal objects and a video installation.

Martine Savard from Rouyn-Noranda will evoke an endangered environment where human occupation is precarious, drawing upon the symbolism of the wolf.

Heather Topp from Sudbury will create an original environment as seen from a bird?s-eye view, so much so that it will incorporate a nest.

Donald Tr鰡nier from Rouyn-Noranda will perform movements that blur the line between painting and action.

The list of all 35 invited artists and partner galleries is posted on the Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario?s website at http://gn-o.org/node/1051. This is also where the public can follow the projects as they unfold and contribute their comments and impressions. A schedule of events will also be posted there in the near future.

Closing evening presentations

The closing evening of the Fair of Alternative Arts of Sudbury will include the official unveiling of all the container-based artworks, a staged reading of the novel Mary-Jane la tueuse by Northern Ontario writer Sylvie Maria Filion (for adults only), and eight performance art presentations. This evening will take place at the Elgin Street train station starting at 6 p.m. on Saturday May 8th.

?It?s really impressive that Sudbury can produce this sort of event?, says Danielle Tremblay, director the Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario. ?This is a major gathering of experimental artists, something that you would expect in much larger cities. Visitors will get to see that contemporary art is amazing, inspiring and most of all, totally unpredictable!?

With landscape as its theme, SURGIR relates natural and industrial landscapes with what Richards calls the "human landscape". The background is industry, mines, the outdoors and the city, and as a counterpoint, inlayed into these images, is the space of intimacy.

"This installation offers a poetic perception of our insertion into the landscape as a whole, our physical, social and economic environment. What bridges the hiatus between private desires and the metamorphoses forced upon residual landscapes "

Alain-Martin Richard lives and works in Quebec City. As a performance and "manoeuvre" artist, he has presented works in North America, Europe and Asia. In parallel to his artistic work, he has worked as a curator, a critic and an essayist, having published many articles dealing with theatre, performance, installation and "maneuver". He was a member of the former collectives Inter/LeLieu and The Nomads and he is currently active with Les Causes perdues and Folie/Culture. His productions, like L'atopie textuelle (2000) and Le chemin vers Rosa (2006), are often deployed over many levels of reality.

This exhitibion is sponsored by Donald Kuyek Barrister & Sollicitor, Over the Atlantic and Old Rock Café. Our season sponsors are CBON, la Première Chaîne, Espace musique and Radio-Canada Television | Internet.

Expect the unexpected at the Fair of Alternative Art of Sudbury

Greater Sudbury, April 22 2010 – Downtown Sudbury’s Via Rail station will become a large-scale experimental art gallery during the second annual Fair of Alternative Art of Sudbury (FAAS), to be held from May 6th to 8th from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The theme of this year’s festival is the exploration of relationships between people and landscapes.
Thirty-five visual artists and writers from Sudbury and across Canada will present works created on site, ranging from performance art to audio, visual and video installations. These artists are invited by Sudbury’s Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario in collaboration with ten other galleries in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick.
Participants will be provided with 17 freight containers in which to create their works. Visitors will see the projects take form and evolve and can chat with the artists while they work. Performance works will be presented over the course of the three day festival and especially at the closing evening show on Saturday.
Public discussions will help visitors understand and appreciate these modern artworks. On-line forums and chats will integrate visitors’ impressions and comments directly into the event.
“It’s really impressive that Sudbury can produce this sort of event”, says Danielle Tremblay, director the Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario. “This is a major gathering of experimental artists, something that you would expect in much larger cities. Visitors will get to see that contemporary art is amazing, inspiring and most of all, totally unpredictable!”
Works to be created
The projects to be presented at the Fair of Alternative Art of Sudbury are original works that don’t yet exist, but some of the artists have indicated the direction they will be following:
DANIEL DUGAS et VALÉRIE LEBLANC from Moncton will use their space as an acoustic resonator for their 12 hour acoustic improvisation using sounds sampled in Sudbury.
ED VIDEO, an Artist Run Centre from Guelph, intends to integrate visitor input while transforming its container into a vehicle for cosmic exploration.
JENNIFER CHERNIAK from Toronto will set up a pirate radio station broadcasting railroad-themed songs and incorporating interactions with visitors in its programming.
CÉLINE BLAIS-MALTAIS from Espanola expects to transform her container into a microcosm of its immediate environment, namely Elgin Street and its people.
MERCEDES CUETO and DARLENE NAPONSE from Sudbury will transform the railway station’s baggage room into an installation evoking a film scenario related to this space.
PIERRE PELLETIER and CÉLESTE DUBÉ from Embrun and Ottawa are aiming to turn their container into an intimate space for “confessions of beauty”.
ALAIN-MARTIN RICHARD will unveil his installation entitled « Surgir » on May 5th at 5 p.m. at the Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario. The artist has visited various homes across Sudbury, looking for relations between aesthetic details in personal environments and their larger urban environment.
WOMEN WITH KITCHEN APPLIANCES, a collective from Montreal, will take to the improvised stage of the Railway Station with a visual and acoustic performance using mixers, blenders, etc., wearing wacky retro costumes for good measure.
STÉPHANE ST-LAURENT from Ottawa, JEAN PIERRE CAISSIE from Moncton and ALAIN-MARTIN RICHARD from Quebec City will take part in public discussions and moderate the online forums.
The schedule as well as the list of all 35 invited artists and partner galleries is posted on the Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario’s website at http://gn-o.org/node/1052. This is also where the public can follow the projects as they unfold and contribute their comments and impressions

The closing evening of the Fair of Alternative Art of Sudbury will include the official unveiling of all the container-based artworks, the Salon du livre du Grand Sudbury’s staged reading of the novel Mary-Jane la Tueuse by Northern Ontario writer Sylvie Maria Filion (for adults only), and eight performance art presentations.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the new CD goes to the World Wildlife Fund – available for purchase at the show.
I am fortunate to have Bullfrog Power, the Quality Inn Sudbury, and the Cambrian School of Music sponsoring this event. Please visit http://www.frankhorvat.com/performance/tour/sudbury.html  where you can find out all the info about this concert.
My tour is a grass-roots movement and a labour of love. I am greatly relying on people like you to help spread the word about the Green Keys Tour:

Opening reception Friday 12 March at 5pm
Exhibition 12 March to 17 April
Hours of operation Tuesday to Saturday noon to 5pm
174 Elgin street, Sudbury Ontario Canada


Upon entering the gallery, you find yourself in the middle of a floating forest. Metal tubes topped with pails create vertical alignments in the space. Crumpled sheets of aluminum become foliage above these structures. Steel wires anchored to the wall ensure the trees’ equilibrium. When you approach a tree, it lights up and reveals the image that roots it to the ground. You need to explore the whole forest to allow every tree to manifest itself.


Though the artist is inspired by the forests of Northern Ontario, his installation is also a reference to all of the world’s forests. Each tree representing one corner of the world occupies its space harmoniously in the artist’s utopian universe.


However, there is also tension. The steel wires that stretch horizontally between the trees and the gallery walls recall the severe environmental problems humankind has created.


In a video projection, utility poles, trees and lampposts fly past at high speeds between Kapuskasing and Sudbury. These vertical objects in motion might dispel the sense of discomfort by providing a temporary exit.


Normand Fortin lives in Kapuskasing. He has been active in the arts scene for over 30 years. His works have been presented in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick. Over the course of his career, the artist has produced at least ten public sculptures. Fortin is a member of the Perspective 8 collective, whose installations, performances and interventions have been presented across Ontario and Quebec.

This exhibition is sponsored by Le Loup 98,9 la voix du nord. Our season sponsors are, CBON, la Première Chaîne, Espace musique and Radio-Canada Television | Internet.

residence 9 to 12 march 2010
opening reception Friday 12 march at 5pm


exhibition 12 march to 17 april
hours of operation tuesday to saturday noon to 5pm
174 elgin street, sudbury ontario canada


Upon entering the gallery, you find yourself in the middle of a floating forest. Metal tubes topped with pails create vertical alignments in the space. Crumpled sheets of aluminum become foliage above these structures. Steel wires anchored to the wall ensure the trees’ equilibrium. When you approach a tree, it lights up and reveals the image that roots it to the ground. You need to explore the whole forest to allow every tree to manifest itself.


Though the artist is inspired by the forests of Northern Ontario, his installation is also a reference to all of the world’s forests. Each tree representing one corner of the world occupies its space harmoniously in the artist’s utopian universe.


However, there is also tension. The steel wires that stretch horizontally between the trees and the gallery walls recall the severe environmental problems humankind has created.


In a video projection, utility poles, trees and lampposts fly past at high speeds between Kapuskasing and Sudbury. These vertical objects in motion might dispel the sense of discomfort by providing a temporary exit.


Normand Fortin lives in Kapuskasing. He has been active in the arts scene for over 30 years. His works have been presented in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick. Over the course of his career, the artist has produced at least ten public sculptures. Fortin is a member of the Perspective 8 collective, whose installations, performances and interventions have been presented across Ontario and Quebec.



This exhibition is sponsored by Le Loup 98,9 la voix du nord. Our season sponsors are, CBON, la Première Chaîne, Espace musique and Radio-Canada Television | Internet.

What is Culture Days?

Culture Days is a national campaign and event that is open to all communities and all individuals who believe in making the public aware of the importance of the arts and culture to their lives. Culture Days is also a growing collaboration among Canadian provinces that aims to increase participation and knowledge of arts and cultural activities by all Canadians in their communities. The idea behind Culture Days is to include amateur and professional activities across all geographic and culturally diverse and Aboriginal communities.

When?

The last weekend of each September, individuals, groups and municipalities are invited to provide free opportunities for the public to experience and participate in their particular activity. These can include open houses and demonstrations.


This year, Culture Days will take place in Ontario from September 24-26, 2010.


Why do we need Culture Days in Ontario?

Ontario’s arts and cultural communities have been looking for a collective opportunity to work together to promote the value of arts and culture to the people of this province.

Culture Days provides this opportunity! If we work together we can highlight Ontario’s vibrant culture – and encourage residents to explore new activities and celebrate the arts and culture in their communities.


Potential Culture Days Activities

Some groups might want to offer free ‘behind the scenes’ tours or give demonstrations to school visits. Others might want to hold workshops or lectures or invite the public to watch a rehearsal. Individual artists can open up their studios or offer opportunities to learn about a particular cultural heritage.

Existing participatory activities and events can also be included in the provincial event during Culture Days as long as they are free.

Through Culture Days, we help people understand:

the contribution of arts and culture to our quality of life;

the culturally diverse and Aboriginal communities, artists, cultural workers that make Ontario unique;

the many opportunities for participating in cultural activity in communities throughout the province;

the economic impact of arts and culture in Ontario;

the personal rewards that come from discovering their own creativity.


Activity Registration
You should provide one or more free, interactive, engaging cultural experiences that are open to the public during the last weekend of September. Please register your event in the Culture Days database at www.culturedays.ca/en  as of April 20th.


Who is involved in Culture Days?

Each province has established its own volunteer Provincial Task Force to help guide and promote the provincial Culture Days program.

A national Culture Days Steering Committee is guiding the Culture Days public awareness campaign (from June to September) across Canada.

This will include the development of Culture Days resources for activity organizers across Canada, a Culture Days web site, an activity registration database, as well as the coordination of national sponsorships and collaborations.

What will Culture Days in Ontario look like?

Culture Days in Ontario is an opportunity to:

spark people’s interest in the vibrant culture in Ontario communities;

motivate Ontario residents to try a new artistic activity or visit a cultural attraction;

encourage collaboration between arts and culture groups and other community partners (Aboriginal, Métis, culturally diverse and heritage);

create a legacy of strong connections between all involved;

encourage people to explore their own creativity;

highlight Ontario’s culture to the rest of the country.

How do groups or individuals get involved?

Identify an activity, including activities you may already be organizing, that you or your organization could promote to the public during Culture Days;



Ensure the activity is free, open to the public and provides an interactive or participatory experience;



Subscribe to the Culture Days newsletter for regular updates at http://culturedays.ca/en/signup ;



Register your event at www.culturedays.ca/en  (beginning mid-March 2010);



If you want to find out more: on@culturedays.ca  or culturedays@arts.on.ca  or call the Ontario Arts Council at 1-800-387-0058 ext. 7575.

News Release

For immediate release


Ontario Arts Council Supports Artists in Residence (Health) Pilot Program
A New Collaboration Between the Arts and Health Care Providers in Ontario

Toronto, February 16, 2010 – The Ontario Arts Council (OAC) has launched an Artists in Residence (Health) pilot program. This new initiative supports artist residencies within health care settings, connecting wellness and creativity. OAC will contribute up to $93,350 towards artists’ costs for residencies in two designated health sites through 2010.

OAC’s partners include the new North Bay Regional Health Centre slated for opening January 30, 2011, as well as The Four Villages Community Health Centre in Toronto. Partnering arts organizations are the W.K.P. Kennedy Gallery in North Bay and Toronto’s Centre for Digital Storytelling. OAC’s funds are directed to the artistic and living costs of the artists in residence. The arts organizations involved are working closely with both OAC and health care partners. Health care partners for their part, will provide artist space. No frontline health care costs are being diverted to this pilot.

OAC Outreach and Development Manager, Bushra Junaid notes “in our 2008 public consultations, we heard loud and clear that communities in Ontario support efforts to break down barriers and have the arts enhance not only our cultural spaces but our everyday lives as well.”

Arts Partners
A northern Ontario artist will be selected for the first residency in North Bay. It is intended to help create the space and set the tone for the facility, and will take place in the summer of 2010 as the medical community moves into the new North Bay Regional Health Centre building.

For the second residency, the W.K.P. Kennedy Gallery will invite emerging and established Canadian or international artists to apply for two to three month residencies that will engage the health centre community through their work in visual, media or interdisciplinary arts. It will start as the facility opens its doors to the public in January 2011.

This residency will actively promote interactions between artists, health workers, patients and visitors, as artists also undertake outreach activities such as talks, workshops and exhibitions, intended to increase artistic awareness within the community.

A jury composed of regional practicing artists and healthcare professionals will select the artists. The project, dubbed “ArtsHealth North Residency” coincides with the launch of the hospital’s state of the art facility, the North Bay Regional Health Centre. Deadlines for the second residency applications will be made available by the W.K.P. Kennedy Gallery in the spring of 2010.

In Toronto, the Centre for Digital Storytelling and The Four Villages Community Health Centre are collaborating on a six month-long video storytelling project that will capture two to five minute stories featuring community members of all ages and walks of life.

Artist Jennifer LaFontaine, has been selected to lead this project. “In a health centre,” she says, “the transformative power of storytelling can be life-affirming and support people through processes of healing and understanding.

It brings another layer of humanity to the institution, but at the same time, gives insight and voice to some of the critical issues facing clients at Four Villages. Our goal is to share these stories with dignity, and see how our digital storytelling practice can also expand within this community.”

Background
The Artists in Residence (Health) pilot has been tailored to each community’s needs. Both projects embody a unique way of bringing art and creativity to a health and wellness setting, and explore ways in which community engagement efforts can have a positive impact on the physical space and the community’s experiences in that space.

As Dermot Wilson, Director/Curator at North Bay’s W.K.P. Kennedy Gallery and a member of the North Bay Regional Health Centre’s Art Committee, says “this program adds the artist and contemporary art to healing and recognizes that psychological well-being, creativity and the role of physical space are part of this process.”

The North Bay partners formed a committee to develop and promote this residency initiative. “Our group includes architects, artists, doctors, nurses, dentists, and managers among others. We have all encountered unprecedented levels of support for the ArtsHealth North project. People in North Bay and across our region are committed to the “spirit” of the program. They feel that in this case art will make a quantifiable difference,” says Wilson.

Artists in Residence (Health) is modeled on OAC’s Artists in Residence (Education) program, which was launched in 2007-2008 and now counts five educational partners across Ontario.

More on Arts and Health
Interest in the connections between art and health has increased significantly in recent years, with arts funding agencies in the U.S., Australia and the U.K. exploring a range of arts and health initiatives.

New research publications such as Arts and Health: An International Journal for Research, Policy and Practice have also emerged. The growing body of evidence points to the positive impacts of integrating the arts into community health services.

A 2009 State of the Field Report: Arts in Healthcare by the U.S. based Society for Arts in Healthcare (SAH) notes that arts initiatives in health settings not only have the potential to improve patients’ overall health, but also foster a host of other important effects, including greater treatment compliance and improved workplace conditions for health workers. New SAH evidence goes so far as to suggest that such creative initiatives are having a marked economic impact, by reducing patients’ length of stay and ultimately, overall healthcare costs.

Please help make me a hero!!

I am writing on behalf of the Sudbury Theatre Centre, to request a donation for our upcoming event, being held April 17th, 2010 here in Sudbury, Ontario Canada.

The Dinner Auction is an annual event held every spring for the past 36 years. Our event raises approximately $40,000.00 per year that goes into the high quality, professional productions that we produce here at the Sudbury Theatre Centre.
The Sudbury Theatre Centre has been in existence since September 1971 and incorporated as a not- for- profit organization (Registration number 11920 5151 0RR0001). We are proud to be the only English professional theatre in Northeastern Ontario. We produce five main stage productions, one family Christmas show and present three Theatre for Young Audience productions from September to May. Our attendance is a minimum 26,000 annually.

We continue to be the flagship of the cultural organizations in Sudbury and are pleased to support the economic development of the City of Greater Sudbury.

We appeal to those not only in our city but draw from many surrounding communities such as, Kirkland Lake, North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie and Manitoulin Island ( to mention a few).

Would you consider our request for a donation to our fundraiser? We utilize and appreciate any type of donation; tickets, promotional merchandise or gift certificates for services, classes, trips and getaways, overnight stays (I personally, always hope for something impressive!) We do issue a tax receipt for the entire retail value and donations over $200.00 also get gift certificates for theatre tickets.

The people attending this event, most of whom are business and community leaders are prime for investing in “toys or time for grown ups”. What a great opportunity to expand your clientele.

Concert to benefit Haitian earthquake victims

Jeff Wiseman  along with a number of other local musicians, including Stéphane Paquette, Philip May and the Sudbury Saturday Night Orchestra, will perform at a benefit concert, Jan. 29 at Fraser Auditorium, being held for victims of the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti.

Jan 20, 2010
By: Bill Bradley - Sudbury Northern Life

Help is needed for the victims of the recent Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti, according to the regional director of an organization that has been working in the country for the past two decades.

A benefit concert is being organized for Jan. 29, 8 p.m. at the Fraser Auditorium, Laurentian University. Partners in the event include Laurentian University, the Rainbow District School Board, New Orleans Pizza on LaSalle Boulevard, several media partners and Mission of TEARS.

Guy Campeau, who is a special education teacher with the Rainbow District School Board, is also the regional director of Mission of TEARS, a non-profit federally registered charity that has been working in Haiti in the capital city, Port-au-Prince, since the mid 1990s.

TEARS stands for teaching, educating, advocating, re sourcing and serving. He said the group is volunteer-based and has operated five orphanages, three schools and a weekly medical clinic in Haiti. Mission for TEARS also operates a shelter for the homeless in the evenings, he said.

“Two of our schools and two of our orphanages have collapsed,” Campeau said. “Our director is fine, but we have lost two adults and seven children in the disaster. No Canadians have died at their sites.”

The aid organization is hosting 100 Haitians in the yard of its mission facility in Haiti. It was damaged but is still usable, he said.

“What is urgently needed is money for water, food, tents and fuel for our diesel truck that is transporting injured people to makeshift hospitals. This is what the benefit concert is for.”

The organization currently has enough food in Haiti for only nine days.He said in the longer term, there will be a need for funds for reconstruction.

Campeau said donations have already come into the organization’s website. “Donations over $10 are tax deductible.

There will be a table set up in the lobby of the Fraser Auditorium where people can also donate.”

Local musicians have already stepped up to help, Campeau noted.

Textile artist, Glenna Treasure...Art Show Schedule 2010

Glenna Treasure was born in Sudbury and spent her childhood in Creighton Mine.
With her strong connection to the north she was naturally drawn to recreate local landscapes.
Glenna began honing her creative abilities at her garden centre designing with plant material.
More recently she has been using textiles to recreate local scenes. It's an unusual medium she was introduced to while on a trip to Newfoundland and it quickly became a passion. With her keen sense of colour and texture, her passion has quickly become her budding career.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sudbury, Ontario – January 14th, 2010

Come to Artists on Elgin and join us in celebrating the beauty and majesty of ‘Northern Wildlife’ through a collection of works by Debra Lynn Ireland during the month of February.

Debra Lynn Ireland has always been compelled by a love for wildlife. Mainly a self-taught artist, Debra found herself developing her own style and painting wildlife in her free time, focusing her passion and commitment to wildlife by concentrating on their physical details and capturing the emotion of the moment.

“I’ve always concentrated on the fine details of the animals, especially the eyes, in an attempt to capture the emotion of the moment.” - Debra Lynn Ireland

Debra completed her post secondary education in graphic design at George Brown College in Toronto; during which she discovered a passion for painting. While freelancing in the design field for a number of years, she found herself painting wildlife in her free time.

For inspiration, Ireland draws on her own real life experiences with wildlife from around her home in Northern Ontario and during her travels with her husband to Africa, Costa Rica and throughout North America.

Process is a very important factor in creating her realist works. Debra believes that photographing, sketching and understanding her subject is essential to her work before she can create the final image. She works in watercolour and acrylic, adding details with gouache and has recently begun working with pastels.

The art of Debra Lynn Ireland has been recognized both nationally and globally by various organizations including the Japan Wildlife Centre, Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, the Canadian Conservation Stamp Guide and the Endangered Species Fund of Canada. In 2008, Debra once again received the privilege being selected by Ducks Unlimited Canada for their National Art Print Portfolio with her polar bear painting, ‘Sweet Dreams’.
