Arteast Volunteers Needed
MAKE
ARTEAST WORK FOR YOU BY WORKING FOR ARTEAST
Arteast
is run solely by volunteers, members like you who contribute a little
of their time to ensure that the organization can provide its many
programs and run its exhibition venues. Without the help of its
members in volunteer roles, Arteast would not be the dynamic
organization it is. Don't forget that, by volunteering, you are not
simply working for other members, you are working for yourself and
making Arteast work for you. Make Arteast work for you by becoming a
volunteer.
I
am pleased to announce that Lore Organ has agreed to take on the role
of Secretary. Many thanks to Lore for stepping forward.
*********
Arteast
still needs to fill the following position as soon as possible:
GROW
WITH ART (GWA) LEAD COORDINATOR
This
person leads a team of members in organizing the monthly GWA
meetings, the annual bus trip to Montreal and other activities, such
as workshops, as opportunities present themselves. As lead, you will
be able to influence some of Arteast's significant activities and
develop contacts with the larger visual arts community. And you are
never alone in doing this work. The current members of the team are
all experienced and will provide excellent support to their lead. In
addition, the former Lead Coordinator plans to remain with the team
and will be able to guide and advise the new lead.
FUTURE
NEED FOR VOLUNTEER - VICE PRESIDENT
Arteast
needs a member to step forward to take on the role of Vice President
in January 2016. You can make an important contribution to your
organization and help shape Arteast's future by joining the Executive
in this capacity. The key purpose of the VP is to support the
President and assist that person with their duties. It is not
essential to have professional experience as an executive or a
manager but you should have organizational skills, good judgement and
common sense....attributes that we all develop from life's
experiences. You have what it takes and your organization needs you
for VP.
If
you are interested in helping in these capacities, please contact me
at president@arteastottawa.com or 613-830-1829.

The

These new pieces will be hung for two months.
The next change-over will be on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2015.
If
you are interested in exhibiting, an advance email, on or before
MONDAY,
SEPTEMBER 7, 2015, 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.
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, Blackburn Hamlet, and Ray Friel branches where Arteast members exhibit on a continuing basis.
We look forward to seeing exhibitors on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2015.

Communiqué
Arteast's
hard-copy, quarterly newsletter—Communiqué—is popular with our
members, but did you know that it is also available on our Web site
at http://arteastottawa.com/newsletter.php? A notification when a new
issue is released is communicated via the weekly Arteast Digest.
Posting of the Web version may be viewed in full dazzling colour, at
least two weeks before the print version (black and white) is
delivered by Canada Post. With rising postal costs, some members
have requested that they be removed from the mailing list for the
printed copy. Other advantages of going with the online Communiqué
are:
-
reduces printing and envelope costs;
-
makes Arteast more "green";
-
no more hunting for misplaced issues (Arteast's Web site has the
current and all back issues).
Printed
copies will be available at our monthly Grow With Art meetings and
the Promenade Arteast gallery at the Shenkman Arts Centre. If you
prefer to read the newsletter online, please e-mail us at
editor@arteastottawa.com to have your name removed from the
newsletter mailing list.
La
copie imprimée du trimestriel d’Arteast – Communiqué – est
populaire auprès de ses membres, mais saviez-vous qu’il est aussi
disponible sur le site Web http://arteastottawa.com/newsletter.php
? Lors de sa publication, une notice paraît dans l’hebdomadaire
Arteast Digest. Sur le Web il peut être lu et vu en couleurs deux
semaines avant la version imprimée ( noir et blanc) postée par
Poste Canada. Compte tenu du coût postal croissant plusieurs membres
ont enlevé leur nom pour l’envoi postal - vers le Web. Il y a
d’ailleurs d’autres avantages du Communiqué en ligne tels que :
-
réduire les coûts de l’imprimé et de l’enveloppe;
-
Arteast plus ‘vert’;
-
ne plus être à la recherche du numéro manquant (le Web d’Arteast
conserve le numéro courant et les anciens numéros).
Des
copies imprimées seront disponibles à la réunion mensuelle L’Art
en herbe et à la galerie Promenade Arteast au Centre Shenkman. Si
vous préférez lire le Communiqué en ligne, s.v.p. contactez :
editor@arteastottawa.com
afin d’enlever votre nom de la liste d’envoi postal.

sectors.
The Youth in Culture Advisory Committee

APPEL DE
CANDIDATURES – COMITÉ CONSUTATIF SUR LES JEUNES ET LA
CULTURE
La
Section du soutien au financement culturel de la Ville d’Ottawa
cherche des personnes intéressées à œuvrer au sein du nouveau
Comité consultatif sur les jeunes et la culture dans le cadre de
l’élaboration et de la mise en œuvre du programme pilote Les
jeunes et la culture.
Le
programme pilote Les jeunes et la culture se veut un soutien direct
aux jeunes (de 18 à 25 ans) sous forme de subventions allouées
d’après un processus de demande à la fois simple et facile
d’accès; on souhaite ainsi permettre aux jeunes de profiter des
occasions ponctuelles de formation professionnelle, de stage,
d’apprentissage, de placement professionnel ou de perfectionnement
qui se présentent dans les milieux artistique, patrimonial, et
culturel.
Le
Comité consultatif sur les jeunes et la culture cherche des
personnes actives dans le milieu artistique local qui comprennent que
la formation culturelle est nécessaire si l’on veut « veiller
à l’épanouissement de la jeunesse d’Ottawa et lui donner des
moyens de se faire entendre » (tel qu’établi dans le Plan
d’action renouvelé pour les arts, le patrimoine et la culture
de
la Ville d’Ottawa).
Les
principales tâches des membres du Comité sont les suivantes :
·
Fournir leur point de vue sur les questions liées aux jeunes, les
pratiques actuelles, les formes de communication, les organismes et
initiatives jeunesse, ainsi que les lacunes et besoins en matière de
formation.
·
Participer à l’établissement et à l’évaluation du programme
pilote Les jeunes et la culture.
·
Faire connaître le programme pilote dans la collectivité.
·
Évaluer les demandes de subvention (en alternance) et établir
celles qui seront retenues.
·
Assister aux réunions du jury (consulter tous les documents
nécessaires au préalable).
·
Assister à des réunions, au besoin.
-
Travailler dans un esprit de collaboration et dans le respect du processus d’évaluation, du personnel, du point de vue des autres membres du Comité et des exigences administratives de la Ville d’Ottawa.
On
s’attend à ce que la personne consacre un certain temps à son
rôle, et la Ville d’Ottawa lui versera une rémunération pour sa
participation.
Parmi
les principes essentiels de la composition du comité, mentionnons
une représentation équilibrée des diverses pratiques artistiques
et spécialisations patrimoniales, festivals et foires, ainsi qu’une
représentation équitable des langues officielles, genres, secteurs
géographiques et communautés culturelles. Ainsi, nous cherchons des
personnes ayant entre 17 et 35 ans et qui appartiennent à au
moins une des communautés suivantes :
·
Danse, arts visuels, théâtre, musique, cinématographie, art
littéraire et art oratoire, patrimoine, fêtes foraines et festivals
·
Administrateurs, organisateurs et bénévoles dans le secteur des
arts et du patrimoine
·
Jeunes entrepreneurs et associations étudiantes
·
Autochtones, Métis et Inuits
·
Francophones
·
Minorités
·
Milieux rural et suburbain
Tous les
membres du Comité doivent vivre dans un rayon de 150 km
d’Ottawa.
Les
personnes intéressées sont invitées à soumettre leur curriculum
vitæ ou une lettre d’intention à Infoculture@ottawa.ca
d’ici
le lundi 25 septembre 2015.
De plus,
une session d’information aura lieu le 29 septembre 2015 à l’hôtel
de ville de 19 h à 21 h (dans la salle Honeywell).
