Digest: Annual Critique Night, Orleans Library Changeover, Plein Air Events

1. Annual Critique Night / Critique d'art annuelle



le français suit



Light snacks will be provided.
On Tuesday June 25, 2019, member artists are invited to bring one piece of unframed, unsigned work or a digital photo uploaded on a computer stick or disc in a jpeg format to the Annual Critique Night. We will have the computer and projector. We only have 70 minutes so it will be on first come basis.

Feeling shy….. come along and see what others are up to and join the fun anyway! See you Tuesday!

Donata Szafian will help members with suggestions on the work they present.

Donata Szafian is a classically-trained figurative artist. Her formal art education is rooted in Hungary. She obtained her BFA in Sculpture, followed by a BA in Industrial Design and MA in Jewellery Design.

Having her background in both fine art and design gives Donata a practical and problem solving mind-frame. This shows in her positive and constructive approach to critiquing artwork.

Her constant drive to learn and take her artwork to higher standards took her to New York to study under the guidance of Nelson Shanks, and recently to Florence to study with Michael John Angel.

7:00 pm - meet and greet
7:30 pm - announcements with critique to follow. Room 340, 255 Centrum Blvd.

Nous aurons un ordinateur et un projecteur sur place. Puisque nous avons seulement 70 minutes, premier arrive, premier servit.

Vous êtes timides..... pour le plaisir, joignez vous à nous pour voir ce que les autres font! On se voit mardi!

Donata Szafian commenteras les oeuvres des membres qui présenteront une oeuvre.

Donata Szafian est une artiste figurative. Elle a étudiée en Hongrie d’ou elle a obtenue son baccalauréat en beaux-arts en sculpture, suivie d’un baccalauréat en design industriel et d’une maîtrise en joaillerie.

Avoir son expérience dans les beaux-arts et le design donne à Donata un esprit pratique et de résolution de problems qui lui sont utile dans son approche positive et constructive de critiquer les œuvres d’art.

Son intérêt constant pour apprendre et rendre son œuvre d’art à des normes plus élevées l’emmena à New York pour étudier sous la direction de Nelson Shanks, et récemment à Florence pour étudier avec Michael John Angel.

 Art in Strathcona Park 2019 - L'Art dans le parc Strathcona - 2019

The Mental Illness Caregivers Association (MICA) is sending you this invitation to join us for the 19th edition of Art in Strathcona Park on Saturday, August 10 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and to ask for your help to promote it. Registration is currently open to artists and artisans – please see attached registration form and note the early bird discount until July 17. Our public postcard is also included and can be uploaded to your Facebook page. We also invite you to LIKE and SHARE our event on our Facebook page.

Artists and artisans and undiscovered talents will come together to sell their work directly to the public and to raise public awareness about mental illness. More than just original art, Art in Strathcona Park also offers jewellery, pottery, stained glass, wood carvings, hand-made soap and honey, to name just a few, and will also feature a silent auction and a BBQ - something for just about everyone!

Art in Strathcona Park is a fundraising and public awareness event sponsored by Mental Illness Caregivers Association (MICA). Did you know that in any given year, 1 in 5 Canadian experiences a mental health problem or illness? The sad fact is that we are all touched in some way by mental health issues through a family member, a friend or a colleague. Unfortunately, the reality is that public misconceptions, fear and the stigma associated with having a mental illness may discourage people from seeking help for themselves or their family member.

At MICA, we are committed to assisting caregivers and their family members manage the effects of mental illness and/or addictions through education, guidance and support including how to navigate the mental health and/or addiction systems. We know that well-supported caregivers in turn provide better support to persons living with a mental illness by helping them to manage or recover from their illness. It is our hope that through Art in Strathcona Park, MICA will continue to have the necessary resources to help families improve their capacity to provide quality care to their relatives, and also help reduce the stigma associated with mental illness.

Please help us by letting your community know about this wonderful opportunity this summer to showcase or view art in one of Ottawa’s most beautiful parks, and to help a good cause at the same time!

Thank you,

Sandy Macpherson
MICA Volunteer
