1. The Fredericton Arts Alliance Artist in Residence Program 2015
A collaborative music project this week in the Barracks. Continuing from last week until July 19 musicians and artists Natalie Sappier and Nate Miller are joining forces to create music as the Artists in Residence for the Fredericton Arts Alliance in the Soldiers’ Barracks.
Natalie Sappier specializes in Aboriginal symbolism and storytelling of the Wolastoq and Maliseet People of New Brunswick.
Nate Miller is a professional drummer, who has been involved in underground music scenes across Canada. He promotes and leads spiritual drumming events and teaches hand drumming. In 2007 he founded his own production company, Emanate 7.
Miller will be recording the collaboration, and playing percussion. Sappier will be combining Aboriginal chanting with a dialog of sound and voice. Working collaboratively will be a new experience for them, and they are encouraging feedback from visitors, as part of their creative process.
The Artists in Residence program continues throughout the summer, with two artists sharing the space for a week at a time. While there, they are prepared to demonstrate their work, their tools and techniques and talk about the things that inspire their creations. The studio is open 10am to 5pm, Monday through Saturday and noon to 5pm on Sunday.
It’s the fourteenth year for the FAA program, which receives support from the city of Fredericton, Downtown Fredericton. For more information, please visit www.frederictonartsalliance.ca. Back to top

Join Benjamin Ingraham at the Officers’ Quarters for an afternoon of irresistible iced tea, scrumptious snickerdoodle cookies, and engaging tales of life as a Loyalist in Ste. Anne’s Point. If you’re feeling crafty, you can even try your hand at rug hooking, one of Benjamin’s favourite pass times. Hannah’s dad will be at the Museum all summer long, and would love to have you drop by to enjoy some tasty treats, unique crafts, and stories about the life of a New Brunswick Loyalist.
Hannah’s Tea Place runs every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoon from 1-4pm for the months of July and August. You can find Benjamin upstairs on the balcony of the Fredericton Region Museum, located at 571 Queen Street on the edge of Officers’ Square.

Shannex Parkland Fredericton is showing the comedy film The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed out the Window and Disappeared on July 9 at 2pm in the Carleton Theatre Governor Hall.
After a long and colorful life working in munitions and getting entangled in the Spanish Civil War, the Manhattan Project, and other definitive events of the 20th Century, Allan Karlsson finds himself stuck in a nursing home. Determined to escape on his 100th birthday, he leaps out of a window and onto the nearest bus, kicking off an unexpected journey involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash, some wicked criminals, and an elephant named Sonya. Like an unruly Nordic cousin of Forrest Gump, Allan’s youthful escapades and current adventures weave together into an offbeat treat for anyone who’s young at heart. Starring beloved comedian Robert Gustafsson, this fanciful spin on world history is based on a best-selling novel and is also the highest-grossing Swedish film of all time.

Visitors will be able to delight in the full summer scents and beauty behind the garden gates while at the same time watching a painting unfold followed by a tour and garden party at the Fredericton Botanic Garden. Guests should plan to spend a full afternoon appreciating the loving touches each gardener uses to enhance their garden; then enjoy the remainder of the day sipping rhubarb punch and nibbling sweet treats while Stephen Peacock performs on classical guitar.

BAFTA winner and Academy Award® nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) takes the title role in this dynamic new production of one of English drama’s oldest plays, directed by the National Theatre’s new Director Rufus Norris (Broken, London Road).
Everyman is successful, popular and riding high when Death comes calling. He is forced to abandon the life he has built and embark on a last, frantic search to recruit a friend, anyone, to speak in his defence. But Death is close behind, and time is running out. One of the great primal, spiritual myths, Everyman asks whether it is only in death that we can understand our lives. A cornerstone of English drama since the 15th century, it now explodes onto the stage in a startling production with words by Carol Ann Duffy, Poet Laureate, and movement by Javier De Frutos.

18. Diane London Award Presented To Local Musician
On Friday, July 3, 2015 River Jam celebrated its 15th anniversary . This annual summer celebration of music along the Saint John River drew one thousand music lovers who enjoyed a beautiful summer evening of music, and in between sets of the 20 local bands, a special award presented.
Each year during River Jam, there is a presentation, a special award, in honour of Diane London, beloved diva of the Downtown Blues Band, whose final performance was at River Jam 2004, before losing her battle to cancer. The award is presented to a local musician, artist, or arts-related woman with a creative spirit and talent, who gives of themselves to the community and who exemplify the spirit and character of Diane.
The 2015 recipient for the Diane London award is Judy Lavigne, accomplished musician, music teacher and community volunteer. Judy has been involved in music for her entire life, playing several instruments and doing musical theatre. Judy’s involvement with the local arts community has been diverse and extensive. She’s been involved with the UNB Conservatory of Music, the Multicultural Association of Fredericton, St. Luke's Chapel, CF Base Gagetown, Choeur de Soulanges francophone choir. In 2004, Judy founded Madrigal Music Studio, and Madrigal Players, an amateur community musical theatre. Like Diane, Judy also suffered from cancer but survived and her positive attitude, deep love for music, and appreciation of its transformative impacts would make Diane London proud.
Judy was chosen by a selection committee and a presentation of the award plaque and a $600 cash prize made just before the Downtown Blues Band set during River Jam. The award is permanently housed in the Green Room of the Fredericton Playhouse, which hosts entertainers during their performance breaks at the venue. Previous winners include Jennifer Russell (2014), Sylbie Roy (2013) Helen Mòrag McKinnon (2012) Becka DeHaan (2011), Carolyn Holyoke (2010), Krista Touesnard (2009), Cathy Hutchinson (2008), Maureen Steeves (2007), Casey LeBlanc (2006) and Tania Breen (2005).

19. Beaverbrook Art Gallery to Launch The Sheila Hugh Mackay Foundation Art Critic Residency Program
Recognizing the importance of visual arts criticism and journalism in the development and appreciation of contemporary art, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery is pleased to announce the launch of the Sheila Hugh Mackay Foundation Art Critic Residency Program.
The Gallery’s first critic-in-residence is Edgar Allen Beem, an award-winning freelance journalist from Brunswick, Maine, who was art critic for Maine Times and Portland Independent, and the recipient of the Manufacturers Hanover Art/World Award for Distinguished Newspaper Art Criticism for his coverage of the 1987 auction sale of Vincent Van Gogh’s Irises. A former librarian at the Portland Public Library, he has written for Yankee, Down East, Boston Globe Magazine, Photo District News, Westbrook (Maine) American, ArtNews, Art New England, Antiques & Fine Art, Art & Antiques, Fiber Arts, American Crafts, and Federal Design Matters, among other publications. Since 2003, his column “The Universal Notebook” has been a regular feature in The Forecaster, Falmouth, Maine, and from 2008 to 2013, he wrote an art blog “Just Looking: A Critic’s Eye on New England Art” hosted by Yankee magazine. Beem is the author of Maine Art Now (1990); Maine: The Spirit of America (2000); Hardlines: A History of the Emery-Waterhouse Company (2007); Backyard Maine: Local Essays (2009); and Art in Maine: Contemporary Perspectives (2015). He states: “My credo as an arts writer has long been: ‘The work of art is the search for meaning.’ I believe art is not only a form of personal expression but also a form of inquiry, every bit as much a quest for truth as scientific research.” ARTSnews July 9, 2015 8 Volume 16, Issue 27
Beem’s residency in New Brunswick will take place October 18 to 24, 2015 and will involve several studio visits with local artists, a public lecture, and an art writing workshop. His observations of the work of New Brunswick artists will be published by the Gallery in 2016.

The Calithumpians are pleased to announce that registration is now open for our 2015 “Act Now!” Drama Camps! A mainstay of Fredericton for generations, the Calithumpians have been offering their unique brand of summer day camps for over twenty years.

Our Drama Camps offer children and adolescents a chance to experience theatre first hand through our tried and true method of creative drama activities and participatory games. All week long the campers will be active - acting, singing and dancing - making “Act Now!” not just a catchy title, but a promise. The participants get to enjoy a peek behind-the-scenes of the Calithumpians’ Theatre in the Park in Officers' Square, and view the live lunchtime performances by the professional troupe.
Various members of the summer troupe provide specialized short workshops including singing, dancing, theatre games, and improvisation.
