Amy Dow Robinson Project Coordinator New Brunswick Crafts Council Tel: (506) 450-8989 Website: www.nbcraftscouncil.ca Call for Workshop Instructors: Summer Shapes Workshop Series at The Charlotte Street Arts Centre Craftspeople will be asked to be onsite with their tools and media demonstrating and instructing fine craft processes and practices. It is our intention that this accessible series of workshops provides for the public an opportunity to engage with craft instructors and gain an appreciation of the cultural fabric of the city of Fredericton and the province of New Brunswick. Workshops will be held in the outdoor space at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre weather permitting, and in the case of poor weather will be held in the multi-purpose room on the 2nd floor of the CSAC. The workshop series will run for seven weeks, from July 8th to August 19th on Thursday afternoons from 1:00 – 4:00pm. Participants will be charged a nominal fee of $5.00. The workshops are to be structured around a single project which can be completed in the three hour time period. Please consider the budget for materials (250.00), the time allotted (3 hours), and the outdoor location when planning a workshop. We are hoping to partner with different community organizations for specific workshops, so please indicate if there is an age range that would be more appropriate for your workshop (i.e., children, seniors). Individual workshops will be three-hour sessions and the fees paid are as follows: Materials Budget 250.00 Instructor Fees 200.00 We can also reimburse travel expenses with receipts up to a maximum of 100.00 per artist. It may be possible to have a volunteer assisting during the workshops if necessary. Please confirm by Friday, June 11th with the details of your proposed workshop so that we can prepare and distribute a brochure to advertise the specific workshops. Please contact Monica Lacey, Gallery Assistant at the New Brunswick Crafts Council tel: (506) 450 8989 Call for Demonstrators - Summer Shapes- Summer 2010 The New Brunswick Crafts Council is seeking members to demonstrate fine craft processes and practices at our Retail Location in downtown Fredericton at the York-Sunbury Museum. This series of demonstrations will provide the general public an opportunity to converse with a fine craft artist while the artist works, and to encounter and view work-in-the-making, providing an accessible, interactive, and educational experience. Demonstrations will be delivered on Wednesdays from 11:30 am – 1:30 pm, capitalizing on both the tourist and resident activity at that time of day. The series will be scheduled beginning June 16th and finishing August 25th. Demonstrators will be promoted as a Featured Artist during the week of their demonstration and will also receive, for that week only, a discount on the commission taken from their sales, from 40% down to 20%. For example, if you demonstrate on June 16th, you will be a Featured Artist for the week of June 14th-19th and the NBCC would only take a 20% commission from your sales for that week. Please contact the NBCC office as soon as possible if you are interested in participating in this project so that we can promote the demonstrations.

The commission is in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the incorporation of the New Brunswick Crafts Council. The three artists, non-exhibitors at the festival, will work together to create a fine craft object based around the theme of “Incorporation.” This is a collaborative project between three selected artists to be carried out in Officer’s Square during the New Brunswick Fine Craft Festival, held September 3rd, 4th, & 5th, 2010, and is intended to be accessible for viewing by the public throughout the process of construction. The finished piece will be on display at the New Brunswick Fine Craft Gallery at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre following the closure of the festival and will become part of the permanent collection of the New Brunswick Crafts Council. Selected artists will be notified well in advance of the festival so that they may begin concept planning and collaboration. Fees paid are as follows: Materials: 400.00 Artist Fees: 300.00 Artist per diem – total for all three days: 100.00 We are also able to reimburse travel and accommodation costs with receipts up to a maximum of 100.00 total per artist for travel and a maximum of 100.00 total per artist for accommodations. Deadline for Submission of Proposals: Friday, July 2nd Please contact Monica Lacey, Gallery Assistant at the New Brunswick Crafts Council with any questions. tel: (506) 450 8989 CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: NBCC - Summer Retail Shop Location: York Sunbury Museum, Officer’s Square, Fredericton. This summer the New Brunswick Crafts Council will open an additional retail gallery space in downtown Fredericton at the York Sunbury Museum site, beside Officer’s Square on Queen Street. With this year’s temporary cancellation of the Barracks Craft Shops program, the Council was faced with finding an alternative location for a summer retail program comparable to Productive Hands. Fortunately, the Council has found an ideal location at the York Sunbury Museum. This retail outlet will not only serve as a summer shop featuring production line work, but also as a location for fine craft demonstrations by NBCC members. With this prime location in downtown Fredericton we hope to have many summer shoppers, tourists and lovers of fine craft visit our new second summer home. Submit work for one or both exhibition locations; or chose the venue that is right for you. Please see both call for entries attached. EXTENDED!! Submission Deadline: June 4th, 2010 Please contact the NBCC office for submission form. NBCC Gallery: “á la mode”, May 14 – June 18 From May 14th to June 18th, 2010, the New Brunswick Crafts Council Gallery will host a group exhibition titled “á la mode”: a wearable arts exhibit featuring fine craft works to adorn the body. Tailored felted tunics, flowing silk scarves, intricately stitched skirts, funky hats, incredible jewellery and contemporary fashions unlike any other, all created by members of the New Brunswick Crafts Council. Begin your Spring shopping at the NB Crafts Council Gallery, where traditional and contemporary fine craft are available for wear! Got to Spring cleaning and emptied out your closet? This is a great opportunity to fill it up and buy local. Featured craftspeople: Deborah Wybou, Joanne Barfitt, Trudy Gallagher, Melissa Murphy Desrochers, Bronwyn Gallagher, Erica Sullivan, Jasmine Cull, Katie Coy, Kim Bent, Trish Hirschkorn, Amber Cober, Karen LeBlanc, Ashley Watson, Erin Hamilton, Jacqueline Bourque, Rachel MacGillivray, Brenda Trafford and Bree Mackin. Exhibition dates for “á la mode” are May 14 - June 18, located at the New Brunswick Crafts Council Gallery on the main floor of the Charlotte Street Arts Centre in Fredericton, N.B. For more information, contact Amy Dow Robinson at (506) 450-8989 or adow@nbcraftscouncil.ca NBCC Traveling Exhibitions: “Capturing Form”, May 7 – June 19th at the SJAC From May 7th – June 19th, 2010, the Saint John Arts Centre will host the New Brunswick Crafts Council exhibition “Capturing Form”, a selection of works by Alumni of the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design. Capturing Form is a curated exhibition by New Brunswick College of Craft and Design Fibre Studio Head, and respected artist, Linda Brine. The exhibition is a testament to the cooperation between both the NBCC and the NB College of Craft and Design, as well as between the College and the Saint John Arts Center. This exhibition is highlighting work from graduates of the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design Photography and Metal studios. Featured artists include Jeff Crawford, Kyle Cunjak, Oliver Flecknell, Chris Giles, Kristyn Cooper, Christian Demmings, Jeneca Klausen, and Aidan Stanley. Capturing Form may be understood to encompass both the subject matter and formal elements of the featured works by graduates of the Photography and Jewelry/Metal Arts studios. Oliver Flecknell’s thoughtful black and white compositions document the pristine landscape and the landscape littered with the detritus of human activity. Jeff Crawford situates the figure in a luxurious landscape, again in black and white, emphasizing the underlying composition. Chris Giles captures some edgily spontaneous narrative colour portraits, and Kyle Cunjak documents recent travels with large colourful prints. Capturing Form comprehends jewelry as body adornment; bracelets, pendants encircle and enhance the body, expressing our crow-like attraction to objects that shimmer, gleam, shine, reflect, beautify. Jewelry by Jeneca Klausen and Aidan Stanley exemplify this notion. Kristyn Cooper offers exquisite form + function: a knife that beautifully marries metal and wood; an elegant goblet, deceptively simple in form. A raised silver teapot by Aidan Stanley amazes in its technical prowess; sculpture by Christian Demming confounds in its organic, yet vaguely disturbing form. Altogether an interesting juxtaposition of works that celebrates the accomplishments of these recent graduates of the NB College of Craft and Design. The Exhibition dates for “Capturing Form ” are May 7th until June 19th at the Saint John Arts Centre, 20 Hazen Ave, Saint John NB.

Fully rooted in the community, it attempts to reflect a spirit of panache and freedom that simmers - often unseen - within the very hearts of Frederictonians. It is the time when we can truly let our hair down, be a bit more uninhibited and experience a vibrant musical nightlife second to none. In this our 20th year, we’re looking for art – visual and fine craft - to celebrate and recognize the spirit and vitality of Fredericton that has brought us to this point. We hope that the City’s brilliant and inventive artistic community will move to create a lasting remembrance of this special anniversary. Create work that is inspired by the music, the musicians, or the flow of energy that takes over our City for one week each Fall. Artists are encouraged to interpret and respond to this theme through their own unique medium and practice. Selected items will be on exhibit at the Fredericton Playhouse throughout Festival weekend. This exhibition is designed to expose the international Harvest Jazz & Blues audience to the work of New Brunswick visual and fine craft artists who relay a message through their practice. Items will be offered up in a silent auction that people can participate in during the exhibition. Highest bidders will be notified at the completion of the Festival. Artists will be guaranteed to receive, at a minimum, the wholesale value of their work. If the bids do not cover that amount, the work will not be released. All proceeds from this endeavor will go directly to Fredericton-area school bands, through the Festival’s Music in the Schools program.
