From the Painted Tree. Once again this year we are asking local artists to create and donate a Christmas Tree Decoration to help us decorate one of the trees at The Capitol Theatre Christmas Fundraiser. Our tree was very popular last year thanks to all of you who took the time to help us. I'm sure it will be just as popular this year. I plan to paint the tree a lovely lavender colour and then fill it with your great work. Please remember to put your contact information on your decoration in case someone would like to get in touch with you about your art

How Artist Space Matters: Impacts and Insights from Three Case Studies drawn from Artspace Projects’ Earliest Developments. Metris Arts Consulting, March 2010. http://www.artspace.org/media/reports.html

This report examines the social, economic and physical impacts of three arts development projects in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, based on interviews with over 100 people and other data sources.

‘Natural’ Cultural Districts and Neighbourhood Revitalization  University of Pennsylvania (Mark J. Stern), http://placingcreativity.org/conference-2009-presentations/. This presentation argues that creativity is the product of social organization, “not simply the work of a few geniuses”. In this environment, the presentation suggests that “we need a policy approach that understands how deeply creativity is embedded in urban social structure, especially the importance of diversity (economic, ethnic, household).

This study, prepared for the City of Vancouver, the City of Calgary, the City of Toronto, the City of Ottawa and the Ville de Montréal, shows that, collectively, the 53,500 artists in these five large cities represent 38% of all artists in Canada, a proportion that is much higher than the five cities’ share of the overall Canadian labour force (21%). The five cities collectively have 209,500 cultural workers, representing 34% of all cultural workers in Canada.

What’s On – This Weekend And The Coming Week

The RBC Canadian painting competition exhibition will visit the Art Gallery of Northumberland.

All works will be on display at a special reception to be held at the Art Gallery of Northumberland in Cobourg's Victoria Hall at 55 King St. W. on Oct. 28 between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres will be served.

An investment in Canadian culture and the visual arts community, the competition will award one national prize of $25,000 and two honorable mentions will receive $15,000 each. Along with past winners, the winning paintings of 2010 will become part of RBC's Canadian art collection comprised of more than 4,000 works of distinguished art collected over the past hundred years.

Ron Bolt 's paintings of new work will be at the Loch Gallery, 16 Hazelton Avenue, Toronto from Nov. 6 - 18 as well as at the Loch booth at the Toronto International Art Fair Oct. 28 - Nov. 1.  Please feel free to explore these wonderful new pieces.  www.lochgallery.com

The Cobourg Poetry Workshop Presents Poet & Musician Tanya Davis - November 30th at "Meet at 66 King East", Cobourg, ON. Tanya Davis celebrates the everyday with her sophomore release Gorgeous Morning. Based in Halifax, she's up with the birds most days and can be often found scribbling thoughts in her notebook at neighbouring cafes. Over the course of the past few years, the Prince Edward Island-native has earned the reputation of being a black coffee drinker who colours outside the lines. Part poet, part songwriter, all performer, she dabbles in all aspects of art-making. Gorgeous Morning is a kaleidoscopic insight into a multi-dimensional creative. She poetically addresses the dark notes of herself, nurses her sentiments through sad-luck serenades about her late cat Henry, rekindles faith while paying witness to a festival of night bugs and wards off poem-promising knights and lovelorn princesses with quirky pop songs.
