Update: Due to inclement weather, we’ve decided to postpone this event until Sunday, April 14. We will still be at the Saint John Arts Centre at 2pm to celebrate our latest CATAPULT Arts Accelerator grads.
Jacqui Clydesdale, Ella Christison, Duncan Ireland, Ronnie Stanley, Janine Daigle, Nadine Lipton, Ryan Cubberley, and Catherine Arseneault will be presenting their pitches about their artistic practice — where they’ve been and the direction they plan to take.
