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 3rd to August 24th
. 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.

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.

35 experimental artists
3 days of on-site production
17 freight containers transformed into artworks
The Fair of Alternative Art of Sudbury updates
its roster of works
May 6 to 8 2010
Greater Sudbury, May 3 2010 ? More of the artists who will converge in
Sudbury for the 2nd annual Fair of Alternative Art of Sudbury have
indicated the direction their productions will be taking over the course
of the three-day event. Most of the 35 invited artists have now stated
their general intention in response to the festival?s theme: the
landscape-people relationship.
These works will be created on site at the VIA Rail train station in
downtown Sudbury from May 6th to May 8th from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The
artists are invited by the Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario and ten other
galleries in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick.
About half of the participants will create their works in one of the
seventeen freight containers provided for them on site. Other
installations and performances will be produced in the station building
and in other downtown venues. Together, they represent an impressive
collection of experimental works that reflect the dynamic contemporary
arts scene in Canada.
Latest indications from participating artists
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.
Access to all events is free of charge except for the Saturday?s closing
evening. The Salon du livre du Grand Sudbury, Sudbury?s French book
fair, will be held simultaneously across the street in the Sudbury
Arena.
Visitors will see the projects take form and evolve and can chat with
the artists while they work. Public discussions and on-line forums will
help visitors understand and appreciate these modern artworks.
?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.

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
Closing evening presentations
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. This evening will take
place at the Elgin Street train station starting at 6 p.m. on Saturday
May 8th.
Access to all events is free of charge except for the Saturday’s closing
evening. The Salon du livre du Grand Sudbury, Sudbury’s French book
fair, will be held simultaneously across the street in the Sudbury
Arena.

This recital presents new original piano music in honour of Earth Hour,

eco-sustainability. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the new
CD goes to the World Wildlife Fund – available for purchase at the show.

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

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

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

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.

A Collection Of Works
By Debra Lynn Ireland (pdf) 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.
Performing will be Jeff Wiseman, Stéphane Paquette and Philip May and
the Sudbury Saturday Night Orchestra — eight musicians employed by the
Rainbow School Board playing vintage rhythm and blues. More are expected
to join in, said Campeau.
Gerry Lougheed Jr. and Laurentian University president Dominic Giroux
will be Masters of Ceremonies for the evening. An attempt is being made
to have local Haitians at the event.
Admission is $20. Children 12 and under are admitted for $10. Tickets
are available at Durham Natural Foods, KFM 95.5 Sudbury Radio Station,
Prom Music, Guitar Clinic, Black Cat, Octave Music and at the door. For

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

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

In this project, Mercedes Cueto draws the
viewer into a whirlwind of stories that are hers personally or those
of others. Curiously, these stories intermingle and become mixed
with other experiences from elsewhere on the planet.
Through an aesthetic arrangement of texts and images, Cueto
transposes fragments of her stories on large vinyl surfaces. Even
though her work naturally tends towards beauty, the artist pursues
an underlying preoccupation for what beauty issimulates. She swings
between beauty and hideousness, love and hate, the pleasing and the
disturbing. She questions the proximity of these extremes as she
pierces and sews the vinyl. The work becomes flesh, sensitive and
vulnerable.
This series of paradoxical works shows to what extent people will
impose on themselves to reach perfection, ranging from beauty and
love to their related obsessions, madness and abuse.
Furthermore, Cueto conceptualizes and personalizes geographical maps
of Greater Sudbury that she leaves lying around in public places,
such as on seats in cinemas, bars, and bus stations. These maps,
bearing drawings, bits of text and old secrets, encourage the people
of the community to come to the gallery to discover what is left of
these stories.
Mercedes Cueto studied at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto.
Besides visual arts, she also works in videography. Her videos and
exhibits have been presented in Northern and in Southern Ontario.

Sudbury, Ontario –
January 7, 2010
Come to the Art Gallery of Sudbury to experience an artistic journey
traveling through 50 years of creativity with the celebrated, renowned
and well-known artist Ivan Wheale.
“My first memory of my artistic journey was being allowed the use of my
parents’ attic room at the age of fourteen.” Ivan Wheale
“I look now at this body of work with fond memories of time and place
and of all those who have touched my life along the way.” Ivan Wheale
‘Ivan Wheale - An Artist’s Journey’ is an exhibition of drawings and
paintings collected from private and public collections throughout
Ontario. This unique exhibit is an intimate look at some of the most
definitive works of Ivan Wheale. It is a comprehensive exhibition, with
catalogue, covering his entire artistic career and the first time many
of the works have been on public display and shown together.
Born in Sunderland, England in 1934, Ivan and Jean Wheale settled in
Sudbury in 1957 where they lived until 1975 before moving to Manitoulin
Island. Wheale has received many awards and accolades throughout his
artistic career, most notably an Honorary Degree from Laurentian
University and the Rotary International Paul Harris Award.
He has had 86 solo exhibitions including three major touring exhibits
circulating through Ontario. His works hang in 42 public and corporate
collections including; The Queen's Collection, Windsor Castle, England;
The Dean's Collection, Windsor Castle, England; the Government of
Ontario and the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa.
Wheale has judged, and served on juries for numerous exhibitions, and is
a founding member of the Grismby Public Art Gallery, the La Cloche Art
Show and the Willisville Mountain Project. Ivan Wheale is represented by
The Perivale Gallery on Manitoulin Island, The Odon Wagner Gallery in

"It doesn't get any better"
"A Celebration of
Light and Water!"
Hello, fellow artists and friends.
I am very excited to announce my very first solo show at the Sudbury
Theatre Centre
for the next 6 weeks. It took me hours to hang with help, but I am quite
happy with it.
All are new paintings, twenty-six new pieces produced in the last year
and a half,
except for one of my favourites, a portrait of my daughter in a friend's
pool.
I think the show looks pretty good and is quite representative of my
work
- a little watercolour, a bit of pastel, mostly oil, and some new
mixed-media pieces
in acrylic.
I have loosely entitled the show "A Celebration of Light and Water".I
would say
that approximately 75% of the paintings deal with water, plus I was
asked
to select a theme or title when I wished to announce my show in the "art
avenue"
magazine of the Federation of Canadian Artists, so that is what I
selected.
I have become an active status member of that organization as of early
this year
after submitting a portfolio with my application.
The show runs from November 20th to January 7th. I hope you make it
out to see my first solo showing. The Theatre Centre is open most days
at 9am.

A HOLIDAY HOMECOMING FEAST FOR THE EARS
Award-winning musician Angie Nussey returns to Sudbury for a holiday
concert featuring two other prominent local musicians and a celebrity
Canadian comedian
Fresh off her “honourable mention” for her current hit radio song “Warm
Hands” in the 2009 John Lennon Songwriting Contest, celebrated Canadian
singer/songwriter Angie Nussey is returning home to Sudbury to perform a
holiday show that will have a distinct “local” flavour to it.
Two local musical icons, Jeff Wiseman and Sarah Craig, will serve as the
featured guests of the evening and will each perform a set of music as
the opening acts for Nussey on Saturday December 5th, 2009 at St.
Andrew’s Place in Sudbury. Nussey’s band for this show is also made up
of local musicians Matt Foy, Sean Perras, and Rex Wan Ki Tang.
“Somebody complimented me on choosing to include local artists (Wiseman
and Craig) for this concert,” said Nussey. “But the truth is, I did not
ask them because they were local - I asked them because they are two of
the best musicians in Canada.”
In addition to the talent-laden musical event, renowned Canadian actor
and comedian Dave Sparrow will be acting as host for the show.
“Having Dave Sparrow join as host for the evening was mind-blowing,”
said Nussey. “I was so fortunate to perform a show with him this summer
where he proved he may well be the funniest guy in Canadian show
business.”
The star-studded show was the brainchild of Nussey who conceived of the
concept while performing at last year’s Northern Lights Festival Boreal.
“Originally, I was just overwhelmed at the number of incredible
musicians I had the honour of playing with at the festival,” said
Nussey. “I thought what a shame that this can only happen once a year
and the idea just grew from there!”
The Angie Nussey and Friends Holiday Concert is scheduled for 7:30pm on
Saturday December 5th, 2009 at St. Andrew’s Church (111 Larch St.,
Sudbury, ON). Tickets are $15 ($5 with a student ID) and are available
online at www.angienussey.com/
Tickets, or throughout Sudbury at the Black Cat, The Tree of Life North,
Angela Marie’s Hair Salon, Jet Landry Music and at the Lively IDA
Pharmacy.

ARTIST EXHIBITS STIRRING IMAGES
A portion of proceeds go to local organization
Meredith McMaster is having a solo art show, ‘Green Reflection’ at the
Tree of Life. This show is the artist’s first solo showing. The Tree of
Life is located at 251 Regent Street, Sudbury. The exhibit is happening
from Friday, November 6th to Thursday November 26th. The opening
reception is Friday, November 6th from 6pm until 9pm.
Meredith McMaster graduated with a degree in Chemistry from Laurentian
University. She has since cast off her scientific training to pursue the
arts. Meredith began painting seven years ago, working on landscapes and
animal portraits. In recent years, her focus has changed as she captures
stirring images in the realm of mind and emotion. She works mainly in
oil, acrylic and watercolour.
Says McMaster about her original artwork “I try to create pieces that
will stir the mind. The images I paint well up from my mood and
imagination”.
10 percent of sales from the exhibition will be donated to a local
organization, Northern Initiative for Social Action. NISA is a local
non-profit charitable organization which promotes the strengths,
talents, and recovery of mental health consumers. The Tree of Life is
open on Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 8pm and Saturday from 10am to
4pm. For more information about the exhibit please contact Meredith at

calendar order
form (pdf)
Hello everyone,
I hope you’re all well. NISA’s 2010 fundraising calendar is now
available for order. Featuring artwork by NISA’s members, revenue from
calendar sales is used to maintain our programs, which aim to facilitate
the recovery and re-integration into the larger community of mental
health consumers and survivors.
The Northern Initiative for Social Action (NISA) is a
member-driven occupational initiative that
aims to assist mental health consumers in their recovery. Our programs
provide a variety of opportunities for participation and include an
artists’ loft; the Northern Computer Refurbishing Depot (NCRD), which
refurbishes gently used computers for resale; the Dandelion Café, which
provides participants with on-the-job customer service training; and
Warm Hearts/Warm Bodies, which every year makes and donates quilts to a
Sudbury-based shelter for homeless and at-risk youth. NISA also runs the
Writers’ Circle, which publishes Open Minds Quarterly and an online
journal, and co-ordinates creative and professional workshops for
aspiring writers interested in polishing their work.
Calendars are $15 each and are available at our office, on the grounds
of Sudbury Regional Hospital’s Kirkwood Site (formerly Algoma hospital),
or by completing and returning the order form (attached in PDF format).
Please make cheques or money orders payable to Northern Initiative for
Social Action. We’ve only printed 200 calendars, so if you’re interested
in one of these lovely organizers, please do get in touch. Don’t
hesitate to call or e-mail me for more information.
Mental illness can strike anyone at any time. It is debilitating and
scary for those involved, but with real compassion, understanding and
support, recovery is probable. Thank you for supporting NISA. With your
generosity, we can continue to support our friends, family members,
colleagues and neighbours. ,

Sudbury Theatre Centre
Young Adult Actor Needed at STC
Artistic Director of the Sudbury Theatre Centre, George Pothitos, is
looking for a community actor who is able to play a young man aged 17 in
the spring production of Rabbit Hole by David Lindsay-Abaire.
Rabbit Hole received the Pulitzer Award for Best Drama in 2007. It tells
the story of a family working its way through the loss of a child.
“There’s a lot of talent in Sudbury and I’m always trying to find ways
to use community actors when I can,” says Pothitos. “As you know, it’s
not often possible since we are a professional company. The biggest
challenge for the community actor is not the talent but the time
commitment it takes to be part of a main stage show at the Sudbury
Theatre Centre.”
Pothitos also stresses that the candidate must have previous stage
experience since this is not a walk-on part. “The young man will have
three very good scenes with a number of lines. It’s a great part.”
Rehearsals for Rabbit Hole begin March 11 (March Break for high school
students) and continue until the show opens March 27. The play itself
runs from March 27 to April 6, primarily in the evenings. There are
three matinees scheduled, Sundays March 30 and April 6 as well as
Friday, April 4.
To receive the audition package from the Sudbury Theatre Centre, call
the box office at 674-8381. Auditions are by appointment only on Friday,
December 7 beginning at 3:30 p.m.
The Sudbury Theatre Centre’s Tuesdays with Morrie now playing, this play
is based on the best selling book by Mitch Albom
Thorneloe Theatre Arts Presents:
String of Pearls
By Michele Lowe, Directed by Ralph Small
This gem of a play explores the possibilities that open up in the lives
of an array of women as they come into contact with a certain strand of
pearls. While the pearls are stolen, bought, bestowed, unstrung, and
nearly lost, their dazzling journey through generations spans
thirty-five years. The lives of mothers and daughters, sisters and
friends, even husbands and wives are touched in a poignant, deeply
affecting story of love and loss. November 16th, and 17th and 21st -24th
@ 8:00 p.m.
Sunday the 18th @ 2:00 p.m.
In the Thorneloe Theatre (Laurentian University Campus)
Admission $10 – for adults, $5 for students and seniors Tickets are
available @ Black Cat Too, Laurentian University Bookstore and the
Thorneloe University Main office.

Canadian Composer Robert Lemay Beats 150 International Colleagues
To Win 2007 Prix Luxembourg
The Canadian Music Centre is extremely pleased to announce that CMC
Associate Composer
Robert Lemay’s Mare Tranquilitantis has taken 2nd Prize in the
International Composition Prize
Luxembourg 2007. The piece, composed specifically for the Luxembourg
Sinfonietta, was
selected from a competitive roster of 152 works by as many composers
from 38 different countries.
The final stage of the competition took place on October 27th in a
public concert by the
Luxembourg Sinfonietta at the Centre des Arts Pluriels in Ettelbruck,
Luxembourg, for which
Lemay was invited to assist with the rehearsals. As if the pressure of a
live competition wasn’t
enough, the concert was also broadcast by the European Broadcasting
Union, one of the largest
associations of national broadcasters in the world.
The international jury - consisting of Xiaogang Ye (China), Jurgen Blume
(Germany), John Casken
(Great Britain), Klaus Ager (Austria), and Marcel Wengler (Luxembourg) -
made their decisions
directly following the concert. Shortly after, it was announced that
Robert Lemay had taken 2nd
Prize in this prestigious competition, with 1st Prize going to Britian’s
Nicholas Casswell.
For his achievement, Lemay receives a cash prize of 2,000 Euros. As
well, the prize-winning works
will be recorded for commercial release by the Luxembourg Sinfonietta in
2008.
Lemay is the second Canadian composer to reach the finals of the
International Composition
Prize Luxembourg. CMC Associate Alice Ho placed in the finals of the
2006 competition.
However, he is the first to take a prize.

Director

Le Carrefour francophone’s 3rd Annual Gala will be Belgian!
The third annual Gala of Le Carrefour francophone de Sudbury will have a
Belgian flair! It will be held on Friday, November 23rd starting at 6pm
in one of Sudbury’s most cherished locations, Science North’s Inco
Cavern. A delicious Belgian meal will be prepared by the LakeHouse
Restaurant’s chef followed by a show from the Belgian musician Saule.
For a fraction of the price of a plane ticket to Belgium, you will enjoy
a magical evening in Jacques Brel’s, the Smurfs and Tintin’s country!
Saule A seminal modern Belgian singer-songwriter, Saule will be in
Sudbury for his tour with the Réseau pancanadien de Coup de coeur
francophone. His songs, at turns funny and tender, are nowhere more
powerful than on stage, where the Belgian and his guitar have an
unmatchable presence. Montréal’s Le Devoir says, "From playful to
infinitely charming, Saule displays beautiful feelings."

For the love of music
Since the mandate of Le Carrefour francophone is artistic, cultural and
community minded, all profits will go towards La Slague (our French
concert promoter and cultural flagship), as well as the children’s
Christmas concert and party.
A silent auction to talk about
To spice up the evening, a silent auction will take place as a fund
raising activity. But this isn’t just any silent auction! The quirky
Carrefour francophone team has found items that will be the envy of all.
A myriad of surprises for the mind, spirit, body and taste buds will be
up for bids. Without revealing their nature, we can already confirm that
The Embassy of Belgium in Ottawa, the Délégation Wallonie-Bruxelles au
Québec and Fairfield Inn and Suites de Marriott Sudbury have generously
offered fantastic prizes. For starters, here’s a hint: 24 comic books
and a CD Box Set.
