Plastic People - A New Media Exhibition at the Gallery on 47th

https://www.facebook.com/events/548738225146562/
Reception will be Friday April 19 from 6 - 10pm

Plastic is a ubiquitous material that has found a place in every nation and culture. In essence we as modern humans have become the Plastic People. From its source as a synthetic derived from petrochemicals, we can examine the benefits, the detriments, the creative applications and the final resting places that plastic finds itself.

The impact we hope to have on the community is to raise awareness of the long term effects of plastic culture in the North from a social,
environmental and political context. We hope to generate media exposure for the participating artists and community organizations that are interested in participating or collaborating on this exhibition.

Plastic objects are the cultural archeology of our time. These objects I see as a portrait of global late-capitalist consumer society, mirroring our desires, wishes, hubris and ingenuity. These are objects with unintended consequences that become transformed as they leave the quotidian world and collide with nature to be transformed, transported and regurgitated out of the shifting oceans.

Drifters Project http://driftersproject.net/
Plastic People give us the opportunity for some depth of thought in exploring our relationship with plastic as a material (Is it helpful? It is harmful? Is it both?) We can consider what it is to live in an era of human civilization whose plastic legacy will survive far into the future.

The Healthy Aboriginal Network

Non-profit promotion of health, literacy & wellness

Good day. We have recently been funded to create a poster series on the UN Rights of the Child, but with an Aboriginal youth focus. Something along the lines of what the Scottish have done (see http://w ww.sccyp.org.uk/resources/uncrc-illustrated-guide/images-young-people) but more diverse for our people. The primary audience is youth in care, and the posters will posted on-line.

Consequently, we are looking for First Nations, Metis and Inuit artists to compliment the work that our existing comic book artists do, to round out the project. The works can be traditional or contemporary, cultural or not, paintings or illustrations, but at the very least focused for youth. And they should match one of the Rights, of course. I hesitate to request professionals only, as many artists deserve to be published and never are. But please be discerning with your referrals - we have a reasonably high standard over here and people have come to expect it from us.

Artists, I need to see samples of your work either on-line or submitted as an attachment to an email. We prefer new works, but will consider licensing existing works from established artists. One of our graphic artists will place the Right text for you, or you can do it yourself if you wish. Please let me know in advance which Right you intend to submit, artists. Email sean@thehealthyaboriginal.net.

All artists will retain copyright and receive a decent sized honorarium. For you emerging artists, just desserts for your years of toil. For the more established artists, a pittance, but we are hoping that you get on board because of the cause (nearly half of the youth in care in BC are Aboriginal) rather than the money.

We are also considering still photos / video of youth in their regalia for augmented reality posters (with smart phones. See http://www.ted.com/talks/matt_mills_image_recognition_that_triggers_augmented_reality.html for an example). So if you live in Vancouver and are interested please send an email to sean@thehealthyaboriginal.net.

And lastly, if you're a professional Aboriginal photographer and you have your own camera and lights we might have some work for you.

We hope you continue to find us relevant to youth's needs,

CMF Announces 2013-2014 program budget, guidelines and deadlines

TORONTO, March 18, 2013 - The Canada Media Fund (CMF) today announced Program Guidelines for the 2013-2014 fiscal year. It also announced the program budget for 2013-2014 set at $360.7 million.
“As announced last year, 2013-2014 will mark the second year of a two year approach for the guidelines. We’ve also furthered our goal to reward success by implementing a Digital Media Performance Measurement Framework and a mechanism for recording sales. Stakeholders provide an invaluable contribution to the advancement of our policies and programs and we would like to thank them for their input. The CMF will organize consultation meetings across the country to meet with stakeholders in person and continue the important process of sharing feedback. A schedule of meetings will be announced in the coming weeks”, stated Valerie Creighton, President and CEO.
The 2013-2014 Program Budget is set at $360.7 million. The breakdown of the Program Budget can be viewed on the CMF website. Please click here.
The program budget reflects revenue forecasts for the coming year based on contributions from the Government of Canada and Canada’s cable and satellite distributors, also known as broadcasting distribution undertakings (BDUs). The 4 % variation from last year in the program budget reflects a conservative estimate of expected BDU contributions to the CMF for the year to come and includes an expected stable contribution from the Government of Canada, pending parliamentary approval of the federal budget.
The CMF’s operating costs, including industry partnerships and program administration, have been reduced by 6 % in keeping with the objective to commit the most funds possible to its programs.
CMF Programs
There have been technical updates to existing program guidelines for 2013-2014. Complete Program Guidelines, application deadlines, and a summary of the technical updates are available on the CMF website cmf-fmc.ca. Application forms will be posted on the CMF website by the end of March, 2013.
Based on recommendations from the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages made to Canadian Heritage, the CMF will allocate $3 million to a new Anglophone Minority program for English-language official-language minority communities in Quebec. English language projects from Québec will no longer have access to the English Production Incentive.
The CMF will also introduce two pilot programs to further support digital media projects during the course of 2013-2014. A budget of $360 K has been earmarked for a pilot program to establish funding partnerships with incubators or accelerators across Canada. A second pilot program will allocate $350 K to an incentive program designed to support international co-ventures in digital media.
Details and guidelines for the Anglophone Minority program and both pilot programs will be announced at a later date.
Stakeholders are invited to share comments and questions by email info@cmf-fmc.ca or through the CMF Twitter feeds @CMF_FMC (English) and @CMF_FMC_FR (French). Application forms will be posted to the CMF website in early April, 2013.
Performance Envelopes Program
On December 5, 2012, the CMF announced the Factor Weights used for 2013-2014 Performance Envelope Calculations. The CMF will be sending broadcaster agreements outlining the amounts allocated for the upcoming year to individual broadcasters by March 28th, 2013. Details about each broadcaster’s Performance Envelope will be posted on the CMF website in mid-April, 2013.
About the Canada Media Fund

Le FMC annonce son budget des programmes, ses principes directeurs et les dates limites pour 2013-2014
TORONTO, le 18 mars 2013 — Le Fonds des médias du Canada (FMC) a dévoilé aujourd’hui ses Principes directeurs pour l’exercice 2013-2014. Il a également annoncé son budget des programmes pour la période, établi à 360,7 millions de dollars.
« Comme nous l’avons annoncé l’an dernier, 2013-2014 constituera la deuxième année du processus de principes directeurs biennaux. Nous avons également progressé quant à notre objectif de récompense du succès en mettant en place un cadre de mesure du rendement en médias numériques et un mécanisme de compilation des ventes. Les intervenants de l’industrie contribuent de façon inestimable à l’avancement de nos politiques et de nos programmes, et nous aimerions les remercier de leur apport. Le FMC organisera des consultations à travers le pays pour les rencontrer en personne et poursuivre l’important processus d’échange d’information. Un calendrier des rencontres sera annoncé au cours des prochaines semaines, a déclaré Valerie Creighton, présidente et chef de la direction du FMC. »
Le budget des programmes a été fixé à 360,7 millions de dollars pour 2013-2014. Pour visualiser la ventilation du budget, veuillez consulter le site Internet du FMC en cliquant ici.
Le budget des programmes reflète les prévisions de revenus pour la prochaine année, fondées sur les contributions du gouvernement du Canada ainsi que des distributeurs de services par câble et par satellite (les « entreprises de distribution de radiodiffusion » ou EDR). La variation de 4 % par rapport au budget des programmes de l’année dernière reflète une estimation conservatrice des contributions prévues des EDR au FMC au cours de l’exercice et tient compte d’une contribution attendue stable du gouvernement du Canada, sous réserve de l’approbation du budget fédéral par le Parlement.
Les coûts d’exploitation du FMC, y compris les partenariats avec l’industrie et l’administration des programmes, ont été réduits de 6 %, conformément à l’objectif de consacrer le plus de fonds possible aux programmes.
Programmes du FMC
Des mises à jour techniques ont été apportées aux principes directeurs pour 2013-2014. Les Principes directeurs des programmes, les dates limites de dépôt des demandes et un résumé de ces mises à jour peuvent être consultés dans le site du FMC à cmf-fmc.ca. Les formulaires de demande seront affichés dans le site à la fin mars 2013.
Suivant les recommandations que le Commissariat aux langues officielles a présentées à Patrimoine canadien, le FMC affectera trois millions de dollars à un nouveau programme de production de langue anglaise en milieu minoritaire destiné aux collectivités anglophones du Québec. Toutefois, les projets de langue anglaise du Québec n’auront plus accès à la Mesure incitative pour la production de langue anglaise.
En outre, au cours de 2013-2014, le FMC lancera deux programmes pilotes pour soutenir davantage les projets de médias numériques. Un budget de 360 000 $ a été réservé pour un projet visant à nouer des partenariats de financement avec des incubateurs ou des accélérateurs de partout au pays. Des fonds de 350 000 $ seront affectés au second programme pilote, soit un programme incitatif destiné à soutenir des partenariats internationaux en médias numériques.
Les détails et les principes directeurs du programme de production de langue anglaise en milieu minoritaire et des deux programmes pilotes seront annoncés à une date ultérieure.
Les intervenants de l’industrie sont invités à envoyer leurs commentaires et leurs questions à info@cmf-fmc.ca ou sur le fil d’actualité Twitter du FMC @CMF_FMC_FR (en français) et @CMF_FMC (en anglais). Les formulaires de demande seront affichés dans le site du FMC au début d’avril 2013.
Programme des enveloppes de rendement
Le 5 décembre 2012, le FMC a annoncé la pondération des facteurs de calcul des enveloppes de rendement 2013-2014. D’ici le 28 mars 2013, le FMC fera parvenir des ententes de télédiffuseur précisant les sommes allouées à chacun au cours de l’exercice à venir. Des précisions sur les enveloppes de rendement de chaque télédiffuseur seront affichées dans le site Internet du FMC à la mi-avril 2013.
À propos du Fonds des médias du Canada
Par l’entremise d’un soutien financier et de recherches sur l’industrie, le Fonds des médias du Canada encourage la création et la promotion de contenus canadiens populaires et novateurs ainsi que d’applications logicielles innovantes à l’intention de plateformes numériques actuelles et émergentes. Créé par les distributeurs de services par câble et par satellite ainsi que par le gouvernement du Canada, le FMC a pour objectif de relier les Canadiens aux différentes manifestations de leur créativité ainsi qu’entre eux et au reste du monde. Visitez www.cmf-fmc.ca. Le FMC publie Ecran de veille, un blogue dédié à la découverte et l’analyse des différents phénomènes ayant un impact sur l’industrie des contenus et de la télédiffusion.

Diverse As This Land
Voice Intensive Workshop

Indigenous Arts has expanded the program to include other sound traditions including singers, actors, storytellers, dancers, and other performing artists working with voice. It explores how land shapes voice and reveals the dynamic spectrum of Indigenous artistry today. The 8-day voice intensive (July 6 - 13, 2013) is an in-depth examination of the human voice as primary channel for communication in the performer-audience relationship.

Participants will have access to world-class voice mentorship with David Smukler, associate vocal coach Donita Large, and guest speakers/mentors. The objective is to free the natural voice from habitual patterns that inhibit the performer's ability to interpret and communicate in his or her particular medium. Working from the feet up, the emphasis will be on establishing a grounded, spine-breath relationship that enables free expression of creative impulse. The deadline for applications is April 12, 2013.

Indigenous Dance Residency
Jock Soto, Faculty

This is the only program in Canada that is led by Indigenous faculty for Indigenous dancers. World-renowned Indigenous choreographers and leading dance instructors come together with dancers from across Canada and around the world to share, investigate, and strengthen contemporary Indigenous dance practice.

The combination of high-level faculty, power of place here in the mountains, and being situated in the heart of Blackfoot and Stoney territories make this program truly unique and transformative. The program is a three-and-a-half-week intensive (July 31 - August 24, 2013) that includes daily technique classes, improvisation classes, performance skills, and the creation of a new choreographic work that will be performed as part of the Banff Summer Arts Festival at The Banff Centre. The deadline for applications is May 1, 2013.

Indigenous Writing Program
Faculty: Tomson Highway, Witi Ihimaera, Lee Maracle

This program is a unique opportunity for writers to develop their writing and storytelling voices amidst a vibrant community of acclaimed faculty and fellow writers. This program offers an extended period of writing time: two weeks at The Banff Centre (September 9 - 21, 2013) and 10 weeks working online from your own home or work space (September 30 - December 6, 2013.)

This program offers invaluable one-on-one editorial feedback with faculty, and cultivates the significant role of writers as storytellers in a dynamic reading series. The deadline for applications is May 1, 2013.

Robert Wilson's "New Directions"

The Gallery on 47th Street is pleased to announce our first event of the 2013 season, Robert Wilson's "New Directions", opening this Friday, March 15 at 6pm.

OPENING FRIDAY MARCH 15, 2013 6-10 pm
EXHIBTION RUNS MARCH 15-28, 2013 (Tue-Fri 12-5:30, Sat 12-4)

Over the past two years running the gallery, we have seen incredible support for our exhibitions of new local work. In recognition of this obvious need and niche in the Yellowknife community, we will be changing our format to show new collections as we have done in the past, but exculsively and without regular hours outside of scheduled exhibitions.

This first exhibition under our new format features local images that capture the essence of life in Yellowknife. Robert Wilson's "New Directions" explores the beauty in areas and views of the city not generally known for their aesthetic qualities as well as capturing some local quirks and eccentricities in what one might thematically refer to as "Yellowknificana".

"New Directions" will feature a unique mix-and-match sales format, which will allow interested parties to choose a single image or custom set of images (at a packaged price) and purchase them in one of two sizes, framed or unframed. Please join us for an evening of local photography and culture and take the opportunity to create the set of images that best represents your Yellowknife experience.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions and we look forward to seeing you this Friday.

Thank you,

Colin Dempsey

2. Medicine Wheel (Interior)

Budget: Exterior Eagle Canopy $100,000 (All-Inclusive)

Installation Dates: January - February 2014

Deadline for Submissions: May 15th, 2013

BACKGROUND
The Elder Care Centre is a new 12 resident Elders home built for the community of Fort Chipewyan. Fort Chipewyan is an important historical site in the province of Alberta being the home of the oldest continually inhabited community in the Province. A rich cultural heritage of First Nations and Métis together with the remote, natural, pristine qualities of the area endure throughout this unique community situated on the shores of Lake Athabasca.

The Elder Care Centre will be an important landmark for the community and represents an investment in the traditions and values that support Elder well-being.

Exterior Installation – Eagle Canopy
The Eagle is of great significance within the culture of the Mikisew Cree First Nation. In preliminary planning, the design team allowed for an entry canopy that would: serve as a strong representative element for the building’s ongoing identity; provide shelter from the elements while serving as a distinctive entry feature; and that would, at the same time, be reflective of and responsive to the Membership’s culture. The piece should foster awareness of the community’s heritage, traditions and values and its social connections; and it should ultimately serve as an inviting element of local pride.

Preliminary Elder Care Centre Rendering.

Budget not to exceed $100,000 including all administration expenses, transport of materials and/or finished art/canopy piece, materials, labour, fabrication and installation costs, artist’s fees and taxes.

Interior Installation – Medicine Wheel
A stained glass Medicine Wheel will be designed and installed by the chosen artist. The Medicine Wheel has important traditional value to the community and will serve as a constant reminder of healing and wellness within the Elder Care Centre. The Medicine Wheel will be a stained glass fabrication that is to fit within the dimensions of the main lobby window.

The Medicine Wheel piece will be installed immediately adjacent one exterior window for optimal daylight penetration. The window dimensions are 1700mm X 1700mm.

Budget not to exceed $20,000 including all administration expenses, transport of materials and/or finished piece, materials, labour, fabrication and installation costs, artist’s fees and taxes.

ART CONSIDERATIONS
• Both pieces shall respect traditional First Nations’ (with a focus on Cree) and Métis culture
• Pieces will have lasting durability and be appropriately fabricated for their respective locations
• Pieces will be durable with minimal maintenance required
• All materials, paints, adhesives used shall be off-gassed in keeping with Indoor Air Quality requirements of LEED green building requirements.

The successful artist(s) or creative team(s) will provide a concept for the work of art sited at the locations noted above. Two-dimensional sketches, three-dimensional sketches and renderings in addition to photographic media combinations of the proposed pieces will be considered in the review. The Eagle Canopy design intent is encouraged to be demonstrated by a model/ maquette. The durability of materials, limited up-keep requirements, environmental impact, and thoughtful considerations of maintenance needs are essential.

SELECTION CRITERIA
The successful proponent(s) will be selected based on criteria including Artistic Merit, Community Impact, Economic Value, Maintenance, Quality of Submission, and mindfulness of the Elder Care Centre and its appropriateness to the community and site. Technical proficiency, feasibility of implementation, and integration of artwork to the site will also be considered. The Mikisew Cree First Nation reserves the right to decide that none of the design submissions may be feasible for the site.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Complete copies of the proposal and related materials are to be provided in either paper and/or electronic format. Paper format proposals will be in Letter sized format in full colour. Full colour photos of models may be included depicting several points of view. Electronic copies of the proposal will be accepted on CD, DVD or USB in PC compatible formats (pdf, doc, docx, ppt, Windows Media Player, or MPEG).

Students will leave the workshop with the knowledge of how to create their own basic traditional animations.

About the Artist:

Arctic Inspiration prize

An immense territory of majestic beauty, the Canadian Arctic is home to a growing population of over 100,000 northern Canadians, with a majority of indigenous peoples with a millennial history and rich culture. Once considered as the last frontier, change and modernization are rapidly making the Arctic more accessible and the subject of increasing public, scientific, industrial and political interest.

Addressing the challenges and seizing the opportunities of accelerating changes in the Arctic environment, culture, technology and economy require innovative approaches, mobilizing the best knowledge from various sources into concrete solutions.

The Arctic Inspiration Prize recognizes and promotes the extraordinary contribution made by teams in the gathering of Arctic knowledge and their plans to implement this knowledge to real world applications for the benefit of the Canadian Arctic, Arctic Peoples and therefore Canada as a whole.

The $1 million CAD Arctic Inspiration Prize is awarded annually and is made possible through the generous endowment of the S. and A. Inspiration Foundation, the commitment of ArcticNet to voluntarily manage the Prize, as well as the contribution of numerous volunteers and partners.
