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 Toronto and by Artist’s on Elgin in Sudbury.



‘Ivan Wheale – An Artist’s Journey’ opens at the Art Gallery of Sudbury on Saturday, January 9 and closes Thursday, February 18. An Opening Reception and artist talk will be held Saturday, January 16 from

"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 919-1050.

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

Sunday the 18th @ 2:00 p.m.

In the Thorneloe Theatre (Laurentian University Campus)

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.

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." www.coupdecoeur.qc.ca

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.
