The Art of Creation. Everyone deserves a healthy start in life. May 5 - June 16, 2023. Opening May 5, 5pm, at the UNB Art Centre, Memorial Hall, 9 Bailey Dr.

The Art of Creation 👶🏾

May 5, 2023 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm

The UNB Art Centre showcases The Art of Creation opening May 5 at 5:00 pm. The exhibit displays the results of a series of workshops designed to reflect on the importance of the environment and healthy behaviours before and during pregnancy.

The Art of Creation. Everyone deserves a healthy start in life. May 5 - June 16, 2023. Opening May 5, 5pm, at the UNB Art Centre, Memorial Hall, 9 Bailey Dr.

Art is much more than just beautiful paintings of landscapes or important people. It can be a powerful vehicle for change, exploring and interpreting important socio-cultural issues and complementing academic pathways of knowledge. The Art of Creation combines storytelling, shadow puppetry, poetry and playwrighting to explore the role of men and non-birthing support partners in creating a healthy start to life.

A team of professional and semi-professional actors, poets, artists, and directors led a series of art and performance-based workshops with people in the Fredericton area over the past year. These workshops supported an experiential dialogue, tapping into an innate human desire to create as a means to reflect upon the science behind pre-natal health. Through art, participants were able to share thoughts, ideas and viewpoints that can be difficult to express in other ways.

The Art of Creation is a joint project of McMaster University and UNB’s Faculty of Kinesiology. For more information on the full project go here.

The Art of Creation will be on view from May 5- June 16 in the East and West Galleries of the UNB Art Centre. It can also be viewed online here.

The UNB Art Centre is located at Memorial Hall, 9 Bailey Drive, University of New Brunswick, Fredericton. The galleries are open 9 am – 4 pm on weekdays and during special events. Admission is free to members of the public.

Amy Ash Workshop: Collective Regrowth and Other Possibilities 🌼

April 22, 2023 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Amy Ash’s deeply collaborative art Perennial Bodies: Collective Regrowth and Other Possibilities is about gathering to share energy and experience, seeding ideas and positive action.

Amy Ash at work

What can we learn from the kinship of tangled roots and whispering rhizomes, the sharing of re-sources for mutual flourishing, and the vibrant re-emergence after a long winter of rest?

A curiosity-driven event, we will come together to make and document experimental artworks that engage bodies fun, safe, and unusual ways. Encircling ideas of care, natural cycles, and connectivity with the more-than-human world, this workshop will be organized less like a class and more like a collaborative art-lab.

Let’s create a safe space for play, absurdity, deep attention, and contemplation, while imagining a future where we flourish in our understanding that we are not just in the world, but of it.
If we can listen to the world deeply enough, with our whole bodies, maybe we could seep past the divisions we’ve made and become a collective body, a super-organism of sensation.

Open to all levels of art-making experience, from pro to never-crafted-before —prompts, guidance, and support will be available whenever needed.

Vanitas: A Skull Painting Workshop

‘Vanitas’ :(Latin:vanity) is a macabre and often playful genre of allegorical still life-painting

Participants will be guided through traditional painting techniques and work from a carefully curated Vanitas still-life–adorned with fresh spring flowers and fruit–ripe with symbolism of the ephemeral.

Along with creating the work itself, students will be treated to a brief history lesson through music, slides and anecdotes that will delve deeper into the subject matter.

All levels of experience are welcome.

*Registration fee must be paid up-front and is non-refundable*
Contact: MarieFox @ theshapeshifter.m@gmail.com

Doors open at 12:45 and the workshop starts at 1 pm sharp.
