North Gloucester Library Changeover; Legal Information Centre Exhibit; Arteast Summer Field Trip to Montreal

1. North Gloucester Library Changeover

It's time to change the Arteast exhibit

At North Gloucester Library
On Tuesday, May 8, 2018

Please retrieve the works that have been hanging for the past two months and/or bring in new paintings (or other two dimensional art) for the North Gloucester Library, 2036 Ogilvie Road, Ottawa, K1J 7N8.

The coordinators will be at the Library between 10:30 a.m. and 11:30.a.m. For those who are dropping off art work, please arrive between 10:30 a.m. 11:00 a.m. so that your work can be documented and hung before 11:30 a.m.. For those who are picking up only, please arrive no later than 11:15 a.m.

These new pieces will hang for two months.
The next change-over will be on Tuesday, JULY 10, 2018.
If you are interested in exhibiting, an advance email, on or before Wednesday, MAY 2, 2018 to Christine Gendron, christinegendron@sympatico.ca, indicating the number of works and their sizes, would be helpful. Or, just show up at the date, but risk being turned away.

Please be prepared to record your paintings with: Title, Medium, Size, and Price along with your name, phone number and e-mail. You can bring up to 3 paintings although, depending on the total number received, not all may be accepted. North Gloucester Library can accommodate 20 paintings. Paintings must be ready for hanging, with appropriate framing and hardware to Arteast standards. Those who are bringing in a painting for the first time this year must sign an Arteast contract form. Blank contracts will be available at the library.

There is no fee to exhibit paintings at the library.

Fifteen percent (15%) of any sale is payable to Arteast for its operational budget.

When someone shows an interest in purchasing a piece, they will be advised to contact you directly to make the transaction. We prefer to leave all works hanging for the duration of each exhibition. If you must remove your work prior to the next change-over, please notify the appropriate coordinator, so the Librarian can be advised and take note of the authorized removal. Neither the Library nor Arteast takes responsibility for the security of works exhibited but reasonable care is taken to ensure their security. Remember that these are very public areas that put your work and name before the public. Do your part to encourage people to visit the North Gloucester, Orleans, St. Laurent Complex, and Blackburn Hamlet Libraries, where Arteast members exhibit on a continuing basis.

We look forward to seeing exhibitors on Tuesday, May 8, 2018.

Have you ever seen a well-behaved guide dog for the blind walking easily with their handler along crowded streets? Did you wonder, “How was this dog raised?” “What’s life like working with a guide dog?”

Raising Stanley / Life With Tulia, is a collaborative performance and exhibition that describes the journey from puppy to working guide dog for the blind. Karen Bailey painted Stanley, a guide dog puppy she and her husband raised for Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, engaged in a multitude of activities that mirror his future working life.

Their accessible production combines storytelling, painting and video and will be presented in the Studio Theatre and Fritzi Gallery of the Great Canadian theatre Company in the summer of 2018.

Karen Bailey’s diverse career spans three decades. Many of her acrylic paintings feature behind-the-scenes workers and the under-recognized including waitresses, hairstylists, church tea ladies and service dogs. She traveled to Afghanistan in 2007 as an appointed military artist to document Canadian military medical personnel at the Role 3 Hospital in Kandahar.

4. Misc. Activities

I am looking for two visual artists to give a short presentation at the upcoming Arts Night presentation to be held on Friday May 25, and June 29 2018.

Arts Night is held on the last Friday of each month from September to June at The First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa, located at 30 Cleary Ave. in the west end of Ottawa, off Richmond Rd. and one stop-light block east of Woodroffe Ave. These events start at 7:30 pm and begin with an "open set", a time when members of the audience may give up to a five-minute presentation of any art form. We then present three guest artists, one each in the literary, visual, and musical arts, who share their particular art form, converse, and answer questions from the audience.

For further information call Joycelyn Loeffelholz at 613-224-9880

Arts Night
The following are guidelines for the presenting artists, but you are free to present as you wish. Questions to ponder for Performance Artists of Arts Night presentations.

Dear Artist,
Thank you for agreeing to take part in Arts Night. As you may be aware, you have twenty, possibly thirty minutes only for the musician, in which to share the passion of your art with the audience. We would rather have more passion than perfection of performance. Arts Night is held in a very informal, friendly, and non-threatening atmosphere. You will never be ‘graded’ with other artists, all we wish is that you share the sincerity with which you perform your particular form of art.

Ask yourself:
1. Why am I doing what I do?
2. Is it because I am able to, or because I am compelled to?
3. When did I start and what made me start?
4. What has made me continue with my art, and has brought me to this state where I am at the present time?
5. What do I derive from my art?
6. If I weren’t skilled or successful with my particular form of artistry, would I continue to do it anyway?

These questions are guidelines only, and the answers to them or any other questions, are some of what we would like you to share with the audience. We also hope that you will see fit to demonstrate some of your artistry or do a short presentation for the audience. Bring books or paintings for demonstration or sale if you like.

There are two other guest artists who will be presenting with you on that evening, and at the end of all three performances, after refreshments, you all will be asked to return to the mike, where members of the audience will be able to direct questions to you and your fellow artists. The speaking order so far has been, the writer first, followed by the visual artist, and finally the musical artist. This has worked well in the past, so for the present, we plan to continue in this sequence.

The date of your performance could be Friday, May 25 or June 29, 2018. Please let us know what props you will need us to provide for your presentation, and try to be there on time so that we can arrange any particular set-up you may need. We will have a microphone available for your use. Some artists come prepared with a pre-written address, so that all they wish to say may be included within the given time. Would you kindly forward a short bio as soon as possible, which will help the host for the event to introduce you to the audience.

All the revenue from this event is donated to the First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa, as they allow us to use the facilities at no cost. Please invite your family and friends, as we would like to have a full house. The average attendance so far has been around thirty people, an audience which we would like to boost the numbers in the near future. Refreshments will be provided. The cost is $5.00 or pay-what-you can per person, but of course, as an invited guest, you are exempted from paying. We are sure you will enjoy the evening. Visit us also for Arts Night presentations on the last Friday of each month (September until June, except December). Thanks again for taking part and helping to make the evening a real success.

This is a unique opportunity for the public to enjoy, encourage and support artists in their local community as well as the St-Laurent Library.
