SUMMARY:Pay It Forward Arts Fund Q&A Session
DESCRIPTION:Have Questions about the new Pay It Forward Arts Fund? Join GAC staff on Wednesday\, June 1st at 7pm for a zoom Q&A session about the award. \n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the meeting through this zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87648876075 .  \nQuestions can be submitted by email in advance to programs@guelpharts.ca\, please title your email “Q&A – PIFF 2022”. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Pay It Forward Arts Fund: \nGuelph Arts Council is presenting a new opportunity for all artists\, musicians\, writers and creators in the Guelph-Wellington Community to submit applications for the Pay it Forward Fund. The fund totals $5\,000 per year and will support one or more projects per year.  \n\nArtists are invited to submit proposals for creative projects that focus on improving lives and thereby enriching our community. The award could take many forms by using the arts to heal\, give a hand-up\, help build self-esteem\, beautify our environment\, or enrich and improve others’ lives. These projects must be original in nature (this fund does not support events\, projects or programs that have already been established) and cannot have begun prior to the award being granted.\n\n\nLearn more about the award: https://guelpharts.ca/pay-it-forward-fund/ \n

SUMMARY:SPLENDID ISOLATION at the Elora Centre for the Arts
DESCRIPTION:From May 26th to July 24th\, 2022 I will be having a solo exhibition of my new painting series\, “Splendid Isolation”\, at the Elora Centre of the Arts this summer. \n“Splendid Isolation” is a series of paintings created in my studios in Elmira\, ON and Bear River\, N.S.\, from 2020 to 2021\, exploring themes of isolation and transience during the surreal time of a global pandemic\, unveiling the beauty that arises from creating in solitude. \nI’m very pleased to be exhibiting it in Ontario this year\, particularly since this series was funded by the Region of Waterloo Arts Fund.  Many thanks to the RWAF for funding this project! \nI’m delighted to be showing my work in this beautiful gallery space. The last time I showed my work there (“Solas agus Scath” in 2009) it was a great experience in every way. \nThe opening reception for “Splendid Isolation” will be on Saturday\, May 28th from 2 to 4 p.m.\,  and there will be a traditional Irish music session. \nThere will be a full colour catalogue printed to document the show. \nI hope to see you! \n\n

SUMMARY:Wellington County Writers’ Festival – Memoir
DESCRIPTION:Have you experienced a time in your life that has affected you in a profound way? Do you wish to share this with others? Then perhaps you have a memoir in you. \nMy name is Sue Williams\, and I am a local Guelph author. My writing career began in my fifties as a result of a life-altering experience from which I felt I had a story that needed telling. The result was my memoir\, Ready to Come About\, published by Dundurn Press in 2019. \nI am excited to be discussing the crafting of memoir with Keriann McGoogan\, author of Chasing Lemurs – My Journey into the Heart of Madagascar\, as part of the Wellington County Writers’ Festival.

SUMMARY:Gordon Hill Press GUELPH COVID CATCH-UP LAUNCH!
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Western Hotel on Sunday May 8 at 2:00 PM for a covid catch-up party and launch.\n\nThe event features readings by Ayaz Pirani and Carl Watts from our Spring 2022 Season\, plus more great Gordon Hill Press authors from past seasons who never got an in-person launch due to covid\, including Mike Chaulk\, Kevin Heslop\, Khashayar Mohommadi\, and Aaron Schneider\, along with special guest Jim Johnstone.\n\nHere’s a little about the readers. Stay tuned as we add more. –\n\nAyaz Pirani’s “How Beautiful People Are” – A trans-national\, inter-generational poetry of post-colonial love and loss animated by the syncretizing figure of Kabir and drawn from the extraordinary diwan of ginan and granth literature.\n\nCarl Watts’ “I Just Wrote This Five Minutes Ago” – A book of poetry criticism that shows how contemporary poetry creates meaning and value\, how poetry might get real work out of us\, in the process locating and grounding us among real people and a real practice.\n\nMike Chaulk’s “Night Lunch” is a shapeshifting sonnet sequence set in the cold waters off the North Coast of Labrador. Reflecting Chaulk’s own experience\, the speaker endures long irregular work hours\, weather\, icebergs\, and loneliness\, all the while navigating the taut intersections of race\, labour\, class\, and masculinity.\n\nKevin Heslop’s “the correct fury of your why is a mountain” – Poems that are by turns experiment\, lyric\, and incantation\, and that Jim Johnstone describes as “one of the most promising poetic projects to come out of Canada in recent years.”\n\nKhashayar Mohammadi’s “Me\, You\, Then Snow” – The debut full-length collection from Iranian-born poet\, Khashayar Mohammadi\, playing with ideas of national\, cultural\, and queer identities through a diverse set of forms and approaches.\n\nAaron Schneider’s “What We Think We Know” – A debut collection of short fiction that tests\, expands\, and sometimes explodes the limits of the short story\, and that Jean Marc Ah-Sen rates as “one of the most daring books to come out in recent memory.”\n\nJim Johnstones’ “Infinity Network” explores pressing questions about the ubiquity of surveillance and social media\, and evokes\, with a powerful intelligence\, the neurosis of living in a consumerism-obsessed era.

SUMMARY:Gordon Hill Press Spring 2022 Online Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join Gordon Hill Press for its Spring 2022 Online Launch\, featuring readings by Ayaz Pirani\, Steffi Tad-y\, and Carl Watts. There will also be opportunity for some Q&A with the athors\, so bring your questions.\n\nTe event is free\, but you need to register through EventBrite – https://www.eventbrite.ca/…/gordon-hill-press-spring…\nHere’s a little more about the books –\n\nAyaz Pirani’s “How Beautiful People Are” – A trans-national\, inter-generational poetry of post-colonial love and loss animated by the syncretizing figure of Kabir and drawn from the extraordinary diwan of ginan and granth literature.\n\nSteffi Tad-y’s “From the Shoreline” – A full-length collection of poetry that brings forward diasporic experience as it intersects with mental illness. Family history and work lyrics occur against a tonal backdrop of the carceral. Yet Tad-y brings a tenderness to these fraught circumstances\, finding beauty in detail and repetitive acts of love.\n\nCarl Watts’ “I Just Wrote This Five Minutes Ago” – A book of poetry criticism that shows how contemporary poetry creates meaning and value\, how poetry might get real work out of us\, in the process locating and grounding us among real people and a real practice.

SUMMARY:Remapping the River | Plant Walk with Christina Kingsbury and Danielle Gehl Hagel
DESCRIPTION:Join artist and herbalist Danielle Gehl Hagel and artist Christina Kingsbury for a foraging walk and conversation along the banks of the Eramosa River\, learning about how plant life tells its own story of migration and dislocation\, disruption and regeneration. Exploring the history of the riverbanks as former landfills and fluid spaces of botanical reclamation\, the walk will be a chance to share knowledge\, dreams\, and thoughts related to plants and the land. In the context of Kingsbury’s work with Meech Boakye on view at the gallery\, the artists use the idea of ‘transplant’ as a way of rethinking the connections between plant and human bodies\, considering the relationship between plants that have migrated without agency and the ways that human bodies have been transplanted against their will through displacement and enslavement. Registration is required as space is limited. \nTo register for this event\, please email Nicole Neufeld at nneufeld@artgalleryofguelph.ca

SUMMARY:A Forest Walk with Don Russell and Lisa Hirmer
