Hi all,
Well Happy Regatta to you all! I know you must all be busy catching at least some of the many events happening around the province.
My personal favourite that I never miss, is the Newfoundland & Labrador Folk Festival happening in Bannerman Park this weekend. I, ahem, even have one of my prints being used for the t-shirt if I may be so bold to say so.
On the home front, our plumbing is back up and running and Clay Classes have resumed their normal schedule. If you have any questions, just contact Rochelle at 753-2435 or claystudio@craftcouncil.nl.ca.
Have a great Regatta Day for those of you who are in town and a great Wednesday for those who aren't!

From the Craft Council
NEW! 1) A Day At The Beach! and Other Clay Studio News
Join us Saturday, August 14th at Middle Cove Beach on for the Eighth Annual Beach Firing Fundraiser.
The Craft Council of Newfoundland and Labrador's
Clay Studio hosts an annual fundraising event. Local ceramicists have
made beautiful clay objects which will be fired before your eyes at
MIDDLE COVE BEACH using materials such as seaweed, sawdust and driftwood
for fuel. Produced from this special type of firing are magnificent
colours and textures. The pottery and sculpture is then sold on the
beach in a 'market type' atmosphere. Prices range from $1-100. Don't
miss this wonderful event on the beach! Pack a picnic and come along!
*Rain Date: the next sunny weekend day.
Rochelle has informed me that the pieces done during the St. John's Day events are fired and ready for pick up.
Also, the Thursday afternoon Open Studio time is no longer on the schedule.

NEW! 7) Call for Submissions: The Heritage Art Gallery, St. John's (NL)
Deadline: Monday, August 23, 2010
The Heritage Art Gallery is currently looking for artwork submissions for its next exhibition:
A Change of Light will be presented in the Gallery from August 29th to September 25th. From the hauntingly beautiful lighthouse at Cape Spear, to the beacon which stands tall and proud at Point Amour, these navigational aids provide us with an incredible glimpse into the hardships and trials that make up our rich heritage. Recently, the lighthouses of Newfoundland and Labrador have gained considerable attention as 45 of these have been deemed as "surplus." We invite artists to consider the significance of lighthouses to the history and culture of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the possibility of their absence. Deadline for submissions is Monday, August 23rd.
A jury committee will review all artwork; pieces chosen to be included in the exhibit must be ready for display and must be available for purchase. A gallery commission of 60% of the retail price will be paid to the artist within 30 days of the conclusion of the show for sold pieces. All media will be considered, for example paintings, drawings, photography, textile work, and sculptures. Artists living outside of St. John's may submit via e-mail with a digital image with a resolution of at least 300 dpi. However, online submissions must have a fully completed submission form attached and accepted artwork must be available for the installation date. Please email the gallery with requests for submission forms.
If you are interested in having your work considered for exhibition in The Heritage Art Gallery please contact Amber LeDrew-Bonvarlez or Christina Langer at 739-7994 or by email at wsheritageshop@nf.aibn.com. Submissions can be delivered to the 2nd floor of the Heritage Shop, 309 Water Street, St. John's, NL A1C 1B9 from Tues., Wed., Fri., 11am - 6pm, Thursday 12 - 8pm, Saturday 12 - 6pm.

8) Call for Submissions: Hydro and Rail Corridor Multi-use Trails Project, City of Toronto, Toronto (ON)
Deadline Date: Friday, August 13, 2010 by 4pm
In July 2009 the City of Toronto's Transportation Services was awarded funding through the Recreation Infrastructure Canada Program in Ontario (RInC) and the Ontario Recreation Program (Ontario REC) to develop seven multi-use off-road trails to be located at hydro and former rail corridors. The Gatineau Hydro Corridor runs approximately from Hwy 401 southwest to Eglinton and Victoria Park avenues while the Finch Hydro Corridor runs across North York to Scarborough. The trail along the old CN Leaside Rail Corridor will link Eglinton to York Mills while another trail will follow the old Scarborough Pit Spur Rail Corridor. To be completed by March 2011, the infrastructure project adds approximately 30 kilometres of new and 4 kilometres of upgraded off-road bike and multi-use trails to the City of Toronto's Bikeway Network and represents the largest expansion of the City's trail system in some time.
This project provides a public art opportunity for the commissioning of artistically designed bicycle stands (lock-ups). Based on the standard structural post-and-ring bicycle stand, the elaborated design or designs by one artist will be chosen and manufactured as multiples. These will be installed for bicycle parking within the trails' numerous recreational nodes that include landscaping, benches, garbage receptacles and pedestrian-scale lighting, at key crossroad locations.
Based on the City of Toronto's 1% policy for public art on capital projects, the budget of $180,000 includes fees and fabrication. Fabrication of the artistically designed bike stands is to be competed by Friday, 4 March 2011. Other costs, such as site preparation, below grade work and installation, have been removed from the responsibility of the artist.
The public art design concept will be selected through a two stage open competition by a specially convened independent Selection Committee made up of practicing arts professionals and community representatives.
Submissions by email are not accepted.
For Criteria and where to send, Submissions must be received by Friday, 13 August 2010 at 4:00 p.m. via mail or hand-delivered to:

A short list of 3 to 5 artists will be selected during this first stage. For the second stage of the competition each artist will be paid a fee to develop a project proposal based on a Terms of Reference document provided to him or her by Toronto Cultural Services. A public open house exhibition of the short listed designs and final design selection will be held at a date and place to be announced.

20) Exhibition, Pareidolia by Ruth Marsh, A1C Gallery, St. John's (NL)
Dates: July 24 - August 28, 2010
Pareidolia: From Ancient Greek para (amiss, wrong)+eid?lon, the tendency to interpret a vague stimulus as something known to the viewer, such as seeing shapes in clouds?
The word Pareidolia plays a dual role in this visual narrative. As a phenomenon equally applicable to cloud castles as oil spills, it seemed fitting that it take on, in its forma nd content, elelment of both. It is meant to reflect a visual phenomenon first but also a place, an imagined garden.
In Pareidolia we see a world of wholesale fecundity, a coexistence of growth and death and an overwhelming, even menacing potential for life. Since this series began and developed under a real time deluge of news reports about oil in the Gulf of Mexico, it was inevitable that it became a garden grown in amorphous form against backgrounds of black ichor. The dual nature of life and death is easily equated with this lifeblood of ancient gods, made poisonous to the touch of mortal creatures. The awkward combination of these elements is intended to suggest that our collective desires not only have size and weight but, in some cases, may be measure by the litre.
About the Artist
Ruth Marsh is a painter currently based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She received a BFA from NSCAD University where she studied painting, drawing and art history.

21) Eastern Edge Gallery, Tree Cozy Bee with Heidi Wagner, St. John's (NL)
Date: August 15, 2010 from 12-1pm
Location: 72 Harbour Drive in the Harbourside Studio space
Ever wonder why no one pampers the trees in Bannerman Park? Well now YOU can!
Heidi Wagner will be doing a Tree Cozy making demo at Eastern Edge Gallery. What is a Tree Cozy? Well it's a cozy that goes on a tree not a teapot!
Bring any materials you would like to work with - cloth, thread, wool, found materials and sewing stuff like good scissors, rulers, etc. Oh and bring your creativity!
If you haven't made a cozy before, a rectangle measuring 4'x6' and smaller works for our Tree Cozy installation (similar to the shape of a scarf only bigger).
For this project we are looking for pieces made of wool, cotton, or any other textiles as well as non-textile material (ie plastic bags) just as long at the finished product can be wrapped and secured around a tree. Cozies are traditionally knitted or crocheted or sewn, but the installation is open to other creative techniques. It will be installed for a month, so the materials you use must be somewhat weather withstanding.
Installations of the cozies will be done daily from 1-2pm, August 14-21 in Bannerman Park.
Donations of materials would be greatly appreciated and can be dropped off at the gallery. Curated by Heidi Wagner.
For
more information please contact Michelle at 709-739-1882 or by email

The winning piece can be seen on her website at http://mestudios.ca/gallery_other_the_go_between.html.
