This November marks the beginning
of the third year of the Huronia Foundation for the Arts.
In that short time, we have accomplished a tremendous number
of goals - the establishment of our granting programme for
artists and arts groups, our incorporation and Trillium
grant, our recent ArtWalk in collaboration with the Downtown
Midland BIA, our three Dinners for Love of the Arts, as
well as our project in collaboration with the Huronia Players
and the Quest Art School and Gallery to build an arts centre,
to name only a few.
We cannot do all these things
alone. We encourage our members to come out to the
Annual General Meeting on November 12.
Several of our key Board members have come to the end of
their two-year term and must step down from their position,
though they may be re-elected. Your participation
and support are essential to our aim to make Huronia one
of North America's major arts destinations.
This issue of the Cultural Connection
also marks a change in the format of our newsletter.
We have changed to a text-based format, with the events
calendar reproduced here in a style that should make it
easier for you to find the events and the times you're looking
for. Classes and events are broken down by category and
all sections are listed by date.
Our Newsflashes have changed
as well. We will require you to fill in an online
template or download a printable PDF and your announcements
must be in by deadline for them to be published. The Newsflashes
will go out once a week on Tuesdays. Deadline is the
previous Friday at 5:00 p.m.
Because of the costs of maintaining
the website, newsletter and newsflashes, and because our
funding has to go towards our programmes designed to help
and support our local artists, we must begin charging for
insertions. At $25.00 per insertion for members
and $50.00 for non-members, we are still well under
the cost of a newspaper ad, and we publish to a very targeted
market. Our membership comprises artists, collectors,
performers and audience members in all disciplines, and
in this year alone our numbers have tripled. Your
events and promotions will be received by an audience that
truly appreciates what you're doing. |

Modern
Impressionism in Acrylics
with Tina Poplawski - Adult
Characteristics of Impressionist painting include visible
brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on light in
its changing qualities, ordinary subject matter, the
inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human
perception and experience, and unusual visual angles.
Short, thick strokes of paint are used to quickly capture
the essence of the subject, rather than its details.
The paint is often applied impasto. |

Inspired
Artists - Working in Wye Marsh
Have you ever wondered how an artist sees the beauty
of the world around them and then interpret their experience
into an amazing piece of work? Have you ever wanted
to ask “How do you do that?” Well now’s
your chance. Wye Marsh has asked a number of returning
artists to work in the marsh to obtain inspiration from
their surroundings for future pieces of work to be viewed
and sold during next year's event. Several artists will
be working on pieces for next year’s 4th Annual
Inspired: Art Show, Wine & Cheese to be held on
July 9, 10 and 11, 2010.

HFA
Grants and Sponsorship
The HFA receives many requests for assistance from its
members and other individuals in the arts community.
We have recently set up a program for local artists
and arts groups whose projects provide an improvement
to the local arts scene. The program gives these groups
and individuals a chance to request funding and volunteer
assistance for their events. In return we would like
an opportunity to promote the HFA at your event so that
we might reach a broader range of prospective members.
Working together, we can make the arts a priority.
To find out if you qualify for an HFA grant, go to www.huroniaarts.ca/funding/sponsorship.html

Huronia
Players Annual Theatre Arts Scholarship
The $200 Huronia Players Award is presented in memory
of May Barber, a long time and very active member of
the Players. It is awarded to one student from the five
local high schools (MSS, St. Theresa's, Le Caron, PSS
and Elmvale) who has demonstrated active involvement
in performance while attending high school and has registered
to pursue a performance oriented course through post-secondary
education.
Submissions are requested from the various schools and
the executive of the Players decides who is the most
worthy recipient.
