LATEST SUDBURY ARTS COUNCIL NEWS
“We are occasionally asked ‘what does the Sudbury Arts Council do’? We are like
a Chamber of Commerce for the Arts advocating and supporting the Arts
community through our mandate to "Connect, Communicate and Celebrate". We
maintain a database of Arts organizations and Artists on our website. We represent the
Arts community to all levels of government. We hold workshops and seminars for Artists
and Arts organizations. We do not put on Arts shows, exhibitions or concerts, however
we actively promote all Arts activities through our Arts-Events e-mail bulletin and on the
website and through the local media. Our Arts Council operates with very limited
resources compared to Arts Councils in cities of similar size in Ontario, such as London
and Oakville who have up to three full time staff in downtown office facilities. We
operate a "virtual" office and have a part time contract staff of one for just eight hours of
work a week to help accomplish our objectives together with the volunteer work of our
board. We always welcome your comments and suggestions with respect to our service
to the Arts Community and to the many citizens in Greater Sudbury and area who enjoy
what the Arts contributes to our quality of life.”
John Lindsay, President, Sudbury Arts Council

April 5: La Slague du Carrefour francophone vient d’apprendre à regret que
Cœur de pirate doit annuler quelques spectacles de sa nouvelle tournée
''Blonde'', dont celui qui devait avoir lieu à Sudbury. Voici la déclaration du
producteur, Dare To Care Records : Faisant suite à la récente annonce publique
que Béatrice Martin attendait un enfant, nous n'avons eu d'autres choix que de
revoir le calendrier de spectacles de l'artiste et tenter de le remanier pour
accommoder les malaises que peuvent occasionner la grossesse. Il est ainsi de
notre devoir de faire en sorte que l'artiste soit au mieux de sa forme à chacun de
ses spectacles et si l'on voulait s'assurer de pouvoir donner des concerts à la
hauteur de ce que Béatrice est capable d'offrir, nous avons dû annuler certaines
dates. Il est possible que le spectacle qui devait avoir lieu le jeudi 5 avril 2012
revienne l’an prochain, mais cela reste à confirmer. Si vous avez acheté des
billets, veuillez contacter la billetterie du Théâtre du Nouvel-Ontario, au (705)

école. Or, ses soupçons pèsent sur Maha, sa belle et brillante épouse musulmane. En
parallèle, ils livrent d’effarantes confessions où se mêlent meurtre, trahison et crime
d’État. S’agit-il d’une enquête consciencieuse ou d’un immense dérapage paranoïaque?
Mansel Robinson nous a récemment offert SLAGUE- L’histoire d’un mineur au TNO, qui
a accueilli également Trains fantômes, deux pièces traduites par Jean Marc Dalpé. À
nouveau, ils font équipe dans ce suspense à deux voix qui vous fera craindre la
politisation de l’intimité dans notre société où s’exacerbe la méfiance. Michelle Roussy à

striking images. Many of the models in Carlson’s work are people from Red Lake whom
the artist has a dialogue with. Carlson reflects a sense of Red Lake and the stories of
the people who live there in this exhibition. Red Lake: An Exhibit by Harriet Carlson
provides a subtle commentary about the relevance of mining, logging, hunting and
fishing in the northern community, while expressing a contemporary, urban feel.
Emergence will be featured in Gallery 2. This juried exhibition represents a crosssection of artistic development from grades nine through 12 in painting, drawing,
sculpture, printmaking, photography and mixed media, and has been an annual
exhibition at the Art Gallery of Sudbury since the 1970’s. The Emergence exhibition is

Company’s presents its debut mainstage production ‘Down Dangerous Passes

69 and 17 on Jan 3. The play, which takes place in the immediate aftermath of a violent
car crash contains themes and images which the company deemed would be too
sensitive for a community grieving the deaths of seven young individuals. Tickets will

This year our spring Show will take on a new look. Instead of setting up the show as a
gallery presentation of the member’s artwork we will be set up this year in our “Artists in
Action” format. Our members will have their own displays and will be working on a
project while you watch. They will be able to answer all your questions concerning their
artwork. Every year the members set up a canvas as a “Work in Progress” for those
visitors who get inspired and wish to try their hand at putting paint on canvas. Our
children’s section has been a great success in the past years. We encourage creativity
for all ages so we set up an area for the young artists to play and create a drawing or a
bookmark to take home with them. While at the show enter to win one of the door prizes
that our artist have donated and take a break in our Café to chat with friends and family
while enjoying a coffee and/or dessert or two. Before you leave browse through our

May 13 to May 26 with Opening Reception May 14 from 5 to 7:30pm: 'The La
Cloche Spirit: The Equivalent Light', a photographic exhibit by Jon Butler
exploring the equivalent light of dawn and how it evokes inspirational space
capturing the timeless beauty of nature. The exhibit will be in the South Tower Lobby
of the Royal Bank Plaza at 200 Bay St., Toronto. An Equivalent is a photograph that
functions as a work of art because while it communicates it also suggests mental
images. This is what the natural colour of Butler’s photographs inspires. Alfred Stieglitz
pioneered this photographic concept, which was adopted and widely taught by Minor
White. The digital and analog exhibition photographs were taken in the Willisville
Mountain area of La Cloche. Butler’s 30 years of photographing La Cloche has resulted
in a photographic style that conveys the colour fields of Mark Rothko and landscapes of
Franklin Carmichael. www.jonbutler.com
