OUVEAUTÉ DE CÉDRIC VIENO
Cedric Vieno revient en force avec «Laisse Tomber», le premier extrait de son quatrième album intitulé Maltempête. Ce dernier prend racine dans un village mi-fictif mi-réel où évolue des personnages un brin surréalistes. On y retrouve notamment le bûcheron qui travaille à la lampe frontale lors de ses nuits d’insomnie, rêvant de tuer la mort, la robuste drag queen du village qui travaille à l’usine de poisson ou encore Fifille, une dominatrice au volant d’une fusée-bécane qui enferme ses amants dans sa cave. +++ info >

NEW DENMOTHER VIDEO
Singer-songwriter DenMother is releasing a video on October 31. The new music video for “Is It Greener?”, produced and directed by Jordan Anthony Greer, plays with the intricate layers of loss woven across timelines. Grief feels less permanent within a limitless universe. It was shot on location at beautiful King’s Landing. +++ info >

The entire album perfectly punctuates everyday life from the comfort of your personal listening device. +++ info >
CROSS POINT DE ANANAS
La mélancolie habite un peu les membres du groupe Ananas. En passant du jaune à l’orange, l’ouverture et la fermeture du pont John Van Horne à Campbellton, il y a des habitudes qui sont perturbées. Tel qu’aller se chercher de la bière à Cross Point (Pointe-à-la-Croix.) Il semblerait que l’achat de bières par des mineurs (au Nouveau-Brunswick et qui ont légalement le droit d’en faire l’achat au Québec) ne fasse pas parti des services essentiels de la région. +++ info >
Northeastern Chorus CD Release
Music Runs Through It and Sleepy Driver are joining forces to present a fitting CD Release show to celebrate the wonderful collaboration album titled Northeastern Chorus. The live performance will take place at The Playhouse on Friday, November 27, 2020 with a 7:30PM start. Northeastern Chorus is not a Sleepy Driver album. It’s a collaboration.

APRYLL AILEEN NEW SINGLE
Apryll Aileen eager to announce the release of her newest single “Wild Wolvez” along with the official music video. Straying away from her familiar musical styling of pop and r&b, “Wild Wolvez” encompasses a dark electronic vibe; the first of her songs to have a big instrumental drop. The collaboration with Adam Royce brought out the edgier electronic side, perfectly resonating with the narrative of the single: women reclaiming their power and owning their voice. +++ info >

2020 SHMF Signature Grant to NBCCDSheila Hugh Mackay Foundation is proud to announce a signature grant awarded to the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design to sponsor a virtual lecture series A free weekly series of professional talks has been organized in partnership with the Atlantic Centre for Creativity to celebrate the talent and exceptional work of New Brunswick artists. Building on a public program initiated in 2019, this virtual series reaches far beyond the traditional boundaries of local lecture format.
Conceived and organized by the Studio Head of the NBCCD Graduate Studies Program, Jean Rooney, this series of talks by artists and designers is a platform especially relevant during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ms. Rooney notes, “it is essential to support and communicate with each other as artists and designers. As artists and artist-educators, we teach what we know, but often, we teach who we are. In particular, we model to emerging artists and each other how to adapt, renew and survive. With this in mind, the speaker series shares the resilience and creativity of creators.”
With this sponsorship, SHMF continues to promote the visual arts of New Brunswick through the support of innovative New Brunswick driven projects. More information on this public series:

Moncton, NB, October 6, 2020 – Between October 10 and November 8, 2020, Galerie Sans Nom proudly presents PERFform, a Performance Art Tour in the province of New Brunswick. This tour will feature seven artists who have emerging and established practices in performance art: Marika Drolet-Ferguson, Emily Saab, Jerry Ropson, Xavier Gould, Samuel Landry as well as the founders of the project: Linda Rae Dornan and Mathieu Léger. PERFform aims to bring performance art throughout the province with this tour, hoping to disseminate an artistic practice that is more obscure from the tradition of visual arts. Made possible through a Touring Grant from the Ministry of Tourism, Heritage, and Culture of the Province of New Brunswick, this tour will bring the artists to 9 communities throughout the province. The artists have prepared a series of performances created specifically for this one of a kind tour in New Brunswick.
*** Please note that all necessary precautions will be taken to ensure everyone’s safety. The events will take place outside. Masks and hand sanitizer will be available on site. The artists will not approach the public.
For more information or interviews, please reach Annie France of Galerie Sans Nom or PERFform directly. See the contact info below. Please consult PERFform‘s website and the Facebook event for the time of the events.

Three galleries are joining forces to offer a Gallery “mini Hop” with the backdrop of beautiful autumn foliage. Gallery on Queen, the CreatedHere Studio and Gallery 78 will be open from 4 – 7 pm on Thursday, October 8, and 6 – 9 pm at CreatedHere and invite you to walk Queen Street with your family and friends for an evening of exquisite visual art, all while respecting COVID distancing requirements. Please bring your community masks.
The Gallery on Queen presents RITUALS showcasing emerging artists Alison Willms and Austin Daigle. Willms an emerging artist from the east coast of Canada, is a graduate of the Bachelor of Fine Arts program at Mount Allison University. She uses a wide range of media in her practice, including analog photography, printmaking, film, sound, and installation. Willms’ work explores a spectrum of ideas from relationships to ritual. Austin Daigle is an emerging artist, taught metalsmith, experienced part-time bench jeweller, and art preparator/ junior curator for Gallery on Queen fine art. Originally from Alberta, he studied at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design and found an affinity in the malleability of sterling and copper, and went on to graduate with honors from the Jewelry and Metal Arts program in 2017.
CreatedHere Studio features SARDINIA the work of award-winning artist Janice Wright Cheney. The sardine fishery, once the lifeblood of many East Coast towns, is now closed due to species collapse. SARDINIA is an immersive installation that conjures the sheer abundance of the past. Using video, audio and sculptural elements, SARDINIA projects thousands of sardines swimming, without end on a vaulted ceiling.
Gallery 78 will feature three new exhibitions. Upstairs, The City of Fredericton’ 2020 Summer Artist in Residence Program held at Odell Park and the Fredericton Botanic Garden will be highlighted in a group exhibition of works. The exhibit will include works created and inspired by this residency and will range from visual arts, music, fine craft, literature and more. Downstairs at Gallery 78 will feature works for purchase from a Fredericton collector with an “excellent eye” as well as a bounty of flowers in GATHERED BLOOMS a delightful group exhibition by many favourite gallery artists.
We hope to see you out for a wonderful evening!
