November in 60 seconds with Eastern Edge 🌥️🍂

we blinked on Halloween and now somehow it’s December……. But lucky for us, we have photo proof that this whirlwind of a month really happened!! We opened two new awesome shows: “Feeling Further” by @imvioletdrake in the rOGUE Gallery and “AtaKatigejut (Intertwined)” in the Main, featuring gorgeous work by Juliette Onalik, Billy Gauthier, Shannon Case & Stephanie Brant.

We had an amazing time hosting @spiritsongfestival for collab events, from panels to workshops, plus a bonus residency with @billy.l.gauthier 🔥

Other highlights: Elijah went up to Happy Valley-Goose Bay as a visiting artist for the @labcreativearts festival! @georgia.dawkin.art joined us as AiR, working on her “PROFESSIONAL WOMAN” project! We hosted Violet’s autoethnography workshop & invited our community down for bylaws, voting, and pie at our AGM!!

Are we slowing down in December? Not YET!! Join us for Georgia’s upcoming Artist talk on Dec 4 and Fare & SQUARE at the Alt Hotel on Dec 8!! Catch the current gallery shows before Dec 14!!!!

These stunning artworks (and 80+ others!!) will be up for grabs at Fare & SQUARE 2024! Whether you treat yourself to an evening of thrills, make it a date night, or give a ticket as a gift, this is one event you won't want to miss ✨🥂

How it works: on the evening of December 8th, we will gather in the Alt Hotel Ballroom for live music, delicious refreshments, and luxurious signature cocktails. When the draw begins, ticket numbers will be chosen in random order, allowing that ticket holder to claim an available piece. Every attendee will leave with a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind 8x8" art work. But part of the fun is the excitement and suspense of waiting to see which works are claimed as numbers are drawn one by one!

Each year, Fare & SQUARE is an unforgettable evening. All fundraising supports Eastern Edge and our community of hardworking artists!

Last week, our Festival & Communications Coordinator Elijah traveled up to Happy Valley-Goose Bay for the 49th annual LCAF. Elijah spent a week teaching book arts and zinemaking workshops for local schools and visiting drama students from coastal communities. We are blown away by these young folks’ creativity and talent, and so thankful for all the dedicated students, teachers, organizers, and visiting artists we got to connect with!

Thank you again to the LCAF team for this incredible opportunity, and congratulations to all participants on a wonderful festival! 🤍💚💙
