For the past three decades, Eaton has maintained a steadfast commitment to studio practice, a rigorous exhibition schedule, and a longstanding commitment to community involvement.

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.

Into the Blue: Remembering Brigid Toole Grant 💙

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.

New Exhibition by Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky 🔊

January 13 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

January 13–May 5, 2024
Vernissage, January 13 at 2pm
Curator: Lucy MacDonald

Artists Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky have worked collaboratively since 2004. Their work has increasingly incorporated communal aspects of making, such as DIY tutorial videos, and virtual crafting bees, in the context of economies of appropriation, trade, and the gift. Their exhibition at the Owens features two works: the new video installation Solaris, and a special Sackville presentation of the Pom-Pom Jam Mobile Hub.

Solaris originates in a series of collaborative workshops the artists gave at Marshview Middle School and the Owens Art Gallery in 2023. Participants made single-line drawings, small relief sculptures, and evocative soundscapes exploring the ways water connects all living things. The artists then cast the resulting sculptures in ice, filming each one as it melted into a puddle of water. Through this process of transformation, the sculptures appear to rise like monumental icebergs from the sea only to melt again, suggesting both the beginning and the end of the world.

The Pom-Pom Jam Mobile Hub uses craft yarn sourced on eBay. Commonly made using leftover yarn, pom-poms are flourishes requiring no special skills, tools, or financial means. Each pom-pom bin in the Hub contains a pom-pom making kit with distinct colour pallets of yarn that are identified by their source location. Echoing abandoned craft projects, the yarn is taken up anew by participants, as an internet-enabled collaboration across space and time.
