The resulting one-of-a-kind paintings are available for silent auction and 100% of profits from the paintings are split among the participating artists!

Inspired by Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel of the same name, Atlantic Ballet Atlantique Canada’s PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is a captivating story which evokes timeless themes and images of outcasts, love, and the power of obsession.

The story has continued to excite the imaginations of readers. reaching across different cultures and eras. An exile, rejected by the only world he knows, Erik, the Phantom, hides a romantic heart and a sensitive soul. But driven by a hopeless love, he becomes a menacing spectre, inhabiting a sinister domain of his own creation.

With original choreography by Igor Dobrovolskiy set to the music of Francis Poulenc, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA features lush costumes created by Paul Daigle and an intriguing set design by Brian Perchaluk. Pierre Lavoie’s ethereal mix of light and shadows perfectly captures the eerie world where a love triangle ensnares, Erik, the beautiful ingénue whom he loves, and the dashing young viscount who wins her heart.

Connie Wheaton: FAA Artist in Residence

August 20, 2022 @ 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm

Connie Wheaton wants to celebrate the city of Fredericton and its true inner beauty through her
abstract realism art.

In her first residency for the Fredericton Arts Alliance, Aug. 15–21, Wheaton proposes to sketch and
paint the city’s historic and modern buildings, as well as its lifestyle, in watercolour and acrylic. She
plans to travel around the city during the week, taking photos to paint later.

“I am inspired by everything around me. I am extremely versatile and paint anything from pets,
florals, to large abstract pieces,” she said. “I love painting the city of Fredericton.”

This series of Fredericton paintings will feature not only the iconic buildings of the city, but also
lesser-known locales and streets: alleys, building sides, houses, and other undiscovered Fredericton
treasures that can bring joy to many people.

Wheaton is a fan of and connected to Fredericton’s heritage despite being from Shelbourne,
Ontario. She likes how everything is intertwined and how everyone is familiar with one another.
During her week-long residency, Wheaton will do live sketching and painting. She will be posting her
travels around the city on her social media, Facebook and Instagram. Her pop-up event will take
place the weekend of Aug. 20–21 at noon at Picaroons Round house, in which her artworks will be
available for viewing, queries, and perhaps even purchases.

The Fredericton Arts Alliance is grateful for the support of the City of Fredericton and Downtown Fredericton in making these residencies possible.
