Canadian Conference for the Arts-survey

Foster a national public dialogue about the importance of arts and culture

The Canadian Conference for the Arts (CCA) workshop will occur on Wednesday, February 1, 2012 from 3:00-5:00pm at the Kerr Room, 2nd floor, Prince of Wales Armoury, 1440 108 Ave, Edmonton. The workshop will be hosted by the Edmonton Arts Council and facilitated by Alain Pineau of the CCA. The Canadian cultural sector is facing considerable changes in its operating environment. One of those is an increasingly clear change in the way the federal government sees its role regarding arts and culture. As some of you may know, the CCA has learned of the federal government’s decision to put an end to 45 years of financial support.  The CCA has taken up the challenge of developing a new business model that will make it financially independent by 2014-15.   A Renewed Mission outlines the CCA as the pan-Canadian alliance linking the arts, culture and heritage communities. Through research, analyses, and informed public discussions, the CCA supports the adoption of policies that ensure the vitality of the Canadian cultural sector and access to culture by all Canadians. The CCA seeks your opinion and input on a set of proposed services and activities: this will be crucial in the development of a sustainable business model.

Alain Pineau’s visit is part of a national tour which will take him to 13 Canadian cities. We encourage all arts and cultural groups and individuals to attend.  The workshop is free but registration is required.  Please visit www.eventbright.ca  

Also, there is an online survey  that will take 10 minutes to complete and the information gathered will be crucial in the development of the new CCA business plan; https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ConsultationCCA

The VVOC asks: which topics need to be address in 2012 survey

Hello Wood Buffalo Residents, I was fortunate to attend the Social Prosperity Summit yesterday afternoon, out of which I was able to make some great connections and gain further insight into the needs and challenges of our local non-profit organizations.

Today I recieved and email asking for some help from local non-profits. Please take a look at the below corespondence and should you like to fill out the survey disucssed I'm sure that your participation would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to diseminate this information further.

Calgary Chamber of Voluntary Organizations (CCVO) is in the process of designing our fifth survey of Alberta's nonprofits and charities. In the past we have benefited from your organization’s assistance in distributing the survey to your network, and your involvement has helped us get a balanced representation from all subsectors and from all over Alberta.

This series of surveys began during the last recession as a tool for measuring the impact of the economic downturn on Alberta’s nonprofits and charities. Past surveys have reported on a range of organizational issues, including financial health, staffing, and future economic outlook. As the province moves further along into its recovery, we have evolved the surveys to take an annual snapshot of the sector. The 2012 survey will continue to build on the information gathered from previous surveys in an effort to compare data and identify trends, but will also seek to explore new areas such as social enterprise and social finance.

The data gathered has been used by nonprofits and charities and informs the work of government, funders and the media. These surveys remain the only source of Alberta-specific research that documents the ongoing health and experiences of organizations in the nonprofit sector.

I am writing to ask if we can rely on you once again to help maximize participation in the survey by promoting it to your Alberta nonprofit partners. A high response rate will enable us to perform more analysis at the regional level, across subsectors and according to organization size.

We would also appreciate your input into the topics we need to address in the survey. Are there specific topics or questions you feel it would be useful to include in the survey? Due to a tight timeline, we request that responses be sent by January 25, and a representative of CCVO may follow up with you by phone. Please contact Geoff Braun at gbraun@calgarycvo.org or 403-261-6655 ext. 222, or Aditya Banerjee at abanerjee@calgarycvo.org (ext. 228) with your comments. The survey is scheduled to go live on February 15. 

We know there have been many demands on your time over the past year and we appreciate your support.

Below is a link to the last survey results for background: http://www.threesource.ca/documents/May2011/ccvo_economicsurvey.pdf

Canadian Conference of the Arts workshop Feb 1, 2012

Mark your calendar for an important think-tank workshop with Alain Pineau from the Canadian Conference of the Arts.  
The workshop will occur on Wednesday, February 1, 2012 from 3:00-5:00pm at the Kerr Room, 2nd floor, Prince of Wales Armoury, 1440 108 Ave, Edmonton. The workshop will be hosted by the Edmonton Arts Council.
The Canadian cultural sector is facing considerable changes in its operating environment. One of those is an increasingly clear change in the way the federal government sees its role regarding arts and culture. Now more than ever before, there is a need for greater cohesion in the arts, culture and heritage sector. This is the message that Alain Pineau, National Director of the Canadian Conference of the Arts is bringing to all of us on February 1
For those who don’t know, the CCA was founded 66 years ago to represent the interests of all Canadian artists and cultural professionals at the federal level. CCA was behind the creation of the Canada Council for the Arts, the federal Act on Status of the Artist, the creation of the Cultural Human Resources Council, to name but a few of its contributions. CCA intervenes regularly on our behalf in front of parliamentary committees and regulatory bodies and it supports cooperative work as in the case of the review of the Copyright Act.
As some of you may know, the CCA has learned of the federal government’s decision to put an end to 45 years of financial support. The Board of the CCA is convinced that, more than ever, there is a need for an overarching cultural organization bringing together all the communities of arts, culture and heritage in Canada. Accordingly, the CCA has taken up the challenge of developing a new business model that will make it financially independent by 2014-15. The CCA seeks your opinion and input on a set of proposed services and activities: this will be crucial in the development of sustainable business model.
Alain Pineau’s visit is part of a national tour which will take him to 13 cities by the middle of February. Make sure you mark the date of his visit to Edmonton so you can participate in this very important joint effort to ensure a sustained strong voice for arts and culture in Ottawa.  We encourage all arts and cultural groups and individuals to attend.  The workshop is free but registration is required.  Please visit www.eventbright.ca.  
If you cannot attend but have questions for the workshop facilitators, please forward your questions to Culture Coordinator Deanna Lawrence at deanna.lawrence@woodbuffalo.ab.ca.

Alberta Future Leader’s program seeking Arts Mentors for Arts Camps

The Arts Camps program partners the Alberta Foundation for the Arts with the Alberta Sport, Recreation, Parks, and Wildlife Foundation (ASRPWF) in providing an arts component to the Alberta’s Future Leaders (AFL) Program.

This program is based on the development of partnerships between communities, private enterprise, non-profit organizations and government agencies. These partnerships share the belief that sport and recreation can be used as prevention and intervention initiatives to address the needs of Alberta's indigenous youth.

Arts mentors are hired to form an arts team to plan and develop a range of arts activities. Each arts team member is then placed in a designated community for the summer, working alongside other AFL summer youth workers. The program runs from May 1 to August 31 each year. The number of participating communities varies, but there are usually a dozen communities involved in the AFL program each year.

The arts component provides opportunities for young people to experience and develop their creative abilities. The arts youth workers act as mentors, helping the participants to express themselves through a variety of performing and visual arts activities. Young people are encouraged to get in touch with their individual creative energies and abilities, and thereby learn new skills, develop strength, build self-esteem and self-confidence that can be used throughout their lives.

Arts activities include performing arts such as mime, acting, storytelling, dance and music as well as mask and puppet making. Visual arts workshops include painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, collage, clay, photography and crafts.

Mozart Don Giovanni: Opera On Screen

January 2012 Full Moon Café Review

During this past weekends’ Full Moon Café, the drum circle set the ambiance for the evening. All in attendance were treated to musical numbers and poetry recitals. Cover songs were sung that engaged the audience to sing along. Original songs were played which warmed and moved people. Recitals of some of Shakespeare’s soliloquies and “The Cremation of Sam McGee” brought delight to all. There were guitars, ukuleles, and harmonicas played to make the toe tapping songs come alive. As a special treat, one member from the cast of “Chicago” who was in attendance performed one of her musical acts. She received a standing ovation for the beautiful execution of the number. Overall the café was a delight to experience. The next Full Moon Café will be on February 18 at the Waterways Hall. The drum circle starts at 7:30 pm and the entertainment begins at 8:00 pm. There is a $5.00 donation at the door. This is a great way to see some amazing talent that the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo has to offer, meet new friends and enjoy some Chai tea, coffee and snacks.

Wood Buffalo Truth: Art Exhibit

MacDonald Island Park Community Art Gallery invites public to opening of “Wood Buffalo Truth” exhibition

What: The MacDonald Island Community Art Gallery presented by Kirschner Family Corporation would like to invite the community to the opening of the “Wood Buffalo Truth” exhibition.

The exhibition is a joint collaboration of Margaret Sonnenberg and Megan Storrar, and represents a year of preparation from both artists. Each piece was created for the “Wood Buffalo Truth” exhibition and represents their collective personal experiences in Wood Buffalo.

From a philosophical perspective, “Wood Buffalo Truth” is an attempt, through visual art, to counter the oft-negative perception of our region that exists – unjustifiably – in other parts of Canada. The paintings truly depict the character and beauty that makes the Wood Buffalo region unique.

The opening also marks the first anniversary of the grand opening of the MacDonald Island Community Art Gallery. Light refreshments and snacks will be served.

Additionally, Margaret and Megan will be on hand at the Gallery every Thursday in February from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. for any school or youth group that would enjoy a tour of the “Wood Buffalo Truth” exhibit. Please book in advance by contacting MacDonald Island Park’s Culture Coordinator, Ana Maria Mendez-Barks anamaria.mendez@macdonaldisland.ca

When: Thursday, January 26, 7:00 p.m.

Where: MacDonald Island Community Art Gallery presented by Kirschner Family Corporation, Suncor Community Leisure Centre, second floor.

Narrative Quest exhibition

From the AFA Collection – the Narrative Quest exhibition at the Royal Alberta Museum – showing until April 29, 2012

Narrative Quest features a selection of artworks by Aboriginal artists from the collection of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts.  The exhibition showcases a variety of traditional and contemporary styles in diverse media.  The prevalent themes in these artworks are often based on storytelling.  These are stories that have been shared by the elders, stories of a search for understanding and meaning, stories of identity and belonging, and stories retold to preserve a threatened culture. They are stories immersed in the past, reflective of the present and hopeful for the future.

In 2008 and 2009, the AFA supported a special curatorial initiative focussed on building its collection of contemporary Aboriginal art.  The initiative addressed the work of senior artists not properly represented in the collection as well as a new generation of artists who are now making an impact. 

Narrative Quest is dedicated to the memory of Joane Cardinal-Schubert (1942 – 2009).

We encourage you to check out the Narrative Quest exhibition at the Royal Alberta Museum, available to the public until April 29, 2012. For more information go to www.royalalbertamuseum.ca/events/exhibits/feature.cfm?id=8.

Local Student wins first round of Polar Express Publishing Competition

I was recently looking though the Fort McMurray Today newspaper, a weekly event  to keep informed about what's happening in Wood Buffalo, and I came across the following article.  Congratulations Taylor; 

Local student wins National poetry contest

Article written by Morgan Modjeski

A student at Sister Mary Phillips School has made it through the first round of a national poetry competition for his poem "Love and Life," and his teacher says his future in writing is a bright one.

Taylor Tourangeau, Grade 6, said he was going through a tough time when he wrote the poem, as he wrote it after losing his girl­friend, but now that he's made it through the first round of the 6th national poetry competition put on by Polar Express Publishing, he's excited about the opportu­nity.
"It's pretty exciting and I'm kind of unknowing about it," said Tou­rangeau. "I just did it for myself, so I can be known for something, because I'm known for nothing."
He continued, "It's exciting because I never knew I was going to actually win because of how young I am, I thought they might not even pick me because I'm too young ... but I'm proud of myself," he said.
In a letter from Polar Express Publishing it explains that Tou­rangeau's poem was one of thou­sands that were submitted and out of those he was selected to make it to the second round.
Darlene Cardinal, Tourangeau's First Nation, Metis, Inuit liaison worker, said even though writing has not always been a part of Tou­rangeau's life, it is now.
"When Taylor came to us two years ago, there wasn't much writ­ing involved in his life," said Car­dinal. "He's come a long way in the two years he has been here and the writing comes naturally to him, when he wanted to write something, he would just say it and it would come out"
"I was in shock when he wrote this poem, I was like, 'where do you come up with this', it's how he feels, but he puts it in his own words."
Cardinal said she feels that writing will be a big part of Tou­rangeau's future.
"I think it could be a big pos­sibility," Cardinal said. "He expresses himself with words quite well, he even said him­self, he's done some bad things, he's gotten into trouble, but he's stepped back from all of that."
She continued, "I think that he would be awesome as a writer."

As a result of making it through the first round of the competition, Tourangeau will have his poem published in a book entitled, Below the Surface with his biog­raphy alongside other selected poems. He'll also move to the final round of the competition where he has a chance to win a prize with a total value of more than 10,000.
