The Arts Council Of Northumberland is a non-profit
volunteer organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life within our
community by developing widespread appreciation of, support for and
involvement in the arts and culture. This newsletter covers theatre, music, lectures,
films, workshops and exhibitions. A separate, edition is devoted to the visual
arts and galleries. Past issues of the newsletters are available HERE.
A long-range calendar of events is available HERE. Arts and cultural organizations wishing to place
events on the long-range calendar please notify Oliver Steins at soliver@cogeco.net
ACN Member Of The Week Pamela Tate’s eclectic acrylic paintings have strong colours, striking
images and vary widely in subject matter and in size. She explores movement
vs. stillness, light vs. shadow, excitement vs. calm. Her art invites the
viewer to pause, reflect and smile. View her work at the Human Bean,
Cobourg. |
