The View Finders 📸

May 2 @ 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm

Eleven second-year photography/videography students emerge from the walls of the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design to exhibit new work as part of The View Finders photography exhibition at the Charlotte Street Art Centre on May 2, 2024.

Calvin Aranas, Connor Beers, Curtis Brewster, Alex Bustard, Andressa Cutini, Or David, Bella
Doherty, Germán García, Fabián Otero, Cori Swan, and Eryn Trevors are the names behind the
works, featuring individual perspectives through a variety of photographic media on display in
the Charlotte Glencross Gallery and Penny Gallery at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre.
The title of the exhibition is a play on the word viewfinder, a small window on every camera that
helps a photographer compose their view, their perspective, and ideas. The theme of this
exhibition is the unique point of view that each photographer has developed and continues to
explore.

Some techniques in this exhibition date back to the invention of photography in the mid-1800s,
while others use modern technology. Throughout the year, photographers could be seen on
campus and in other parts of our great country, and province, using a variety of cameras: large
format (4”x5” sheet film), medium format (120 roll film), 35mm, digital cameras, and Polaroid. In
this exhibition they’re exploring nature photography, landscapes, New Brunswick, still-life, fine art
portraits, fashion, and more to tell stories as complex as life itself.

When they started their journey together in the fall of 2022, four of the eleven students arrived
from Colombia, Philippines, Brazil, and Mexico, bringing unique experiences and perspectives.
Two years later, many have had work published, created thematic series, explored techniques,
been guest speakers at Photo Fredericton, been in group exhibitions, and many have created solo
exhibitions at NBCCD. Now, they’re ready to meet the public.

The View Finders Photography Exhibition opens on May 2, 2024, from 4:30 to 6 pm and runs until
June 17. The exhibition is free and open to everyone.

Gallery 78 is pleased to present two new exhibitions from May 3 – 25. They are opening Friday, May 3rd from 5-7 pm. Meet the artists and see their works in person for the first time!

Gallery 78

Stephen May’s “By George!” features artworks that were made from the pastels that belonged to his late friend, George Strunz. Winner of the Lieutenant Governor’s Award and described by Molly Lamb Bobak as a painter of great taste and quality, his newest body of work is an exceptional collection of landscapes, still lifes, and portraits. Discover these outstanding creations of one of New Brunswick’s most revered artists.

Nova Scotia artist Matthew Collins’ “The Organic Process” is an exhibition of his latest landscapes, from blue-skied beaches to ponds in forest groves. In his words, “I love the raw, ever changing natural beauty surrounding me and often find myself returning to the same spots time and again. However, the way the painting is executed holds more value to me than the subject.” Using his classic style of thick application of paint on the canvas, this show is a visual delight in every sense of the word!

We look forward to your visit! The works will be available online Tuesday, April 30, at https://gallery78.com.

Into the Blue: Remembering Brigid Toole Grant đź’™

May 3 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm

The UNB Art Centre is pleased to present the exhibit Into the Blue: Remembering Brigid Toole Grant as a tribute to the beloved artist, activist and humanitarian who passed away last year. The exhibit opens on Friday, May 3 and runs until Friday, Aug. 30.

Into the Blue: Remembering Brigid Toole Grant is a labour of love by her daughter Hannah Grant, who along with curator Roslyn Rosenfeld, assembled a collection of acrylics, watercolours, prints, and drawings from friends, family, and the UNB Permanent Collection. It tells the story of a talented and insightful artist, who found inspiration in the people and the land she called home.

“This exhibition is like a period which marks the end of the final chapter of a really good book,” says Marie Maltais, Director of the UNB Art Centre. “It holds within it the tale of a life spun over many chapters— rich in detail, character development and action.”

It is fitting that Brigid Toole Grant is being honoured in this retrospective at UNB. She grew up on the UNB campus and spent her early years living in what is now known as Sir Howard Douglas Hall. She attended art classes with renowned Canadian artists Fritz Brandtner, Alfred Pinsky and Lucy Jarvis, one of the founders of the UNB Art Centre. She later worked as an assistant to the UNB Art Centre Director Marjory Donaldson, taught art classes for UNB’s Department of Extension and then for the UNB Art Centre’s Leisure Learning programs. Many of her works are on display throughout campus as part of the UNB Permanent Collection where they continue to enrich the lives of faculty, staff, students and visitors. 

The exhibit opens on Friday, May 3 at 5 p.m. with special guest appearance by the Raging Grannies. There will be a memorial service marking the life of Brigid Toole Grant on May 22 at 1:00 p.m. in Memorial Hall. All are welcome.

Building Home: Saint John, NB 🏠

May 2 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Building Home offers a glimpse into the world of youth housing.

You are welcome to walk through house-like structures and immerse yourself in what youth from a HF4Y program have highlighted as impactful elements of their housing journeys. Youth are taking charge of their narratives and sharing what they feel is important for their communities to know about the experiences of housing precarity in Saint John. Come join us and learn more about the housing challenges that influence youth and the solutions that are available to them. This project signals the importance youth have in our city, and our commitment to build better futures for young people across the city and the province.

We are thrilled to be at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery from April 30th to May 10th. The exhibit is free and open to the public. We will be at the gallery’s Education Centre during regular opening hours.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday – 10am-5pm
Thursday – 10am-9pm
Sunday – 12-5pm

During our time at the gallery, we are also hosting some exciting events!

Speaker Series

Join us for some light refreshments and a chance to get involved, May 2nd and May 9th from 6-8pm. Meet the team and learn more about the research behind the project and how it all came to life.

Creative Workshops for Youth

These workshops promote youth voice through creative expression. We begin with a tour of the installation, followed by a facilitated discussion of youth housing, and finally a chance to engage in collage art to express their thoughts. Youth are invited to add their art pieces to our virtual gallery as a way to amplify collective action.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
