Jennifer Long: Mended Leaves
Canadian artist Jennifer Long has established an arts practice that addresses the complex role of womenโs experiences, with its disproportionate responsibility for unpaid care work, how care is given and its impact to those involved. Mended Leaves is a photographic series that references the impact of the Covid pandemic on caring for others, and the subsequent process of repair and renewal. Through large-scale images of hybrid botanicals which the artist created, she considers quiet moments and rituals of everyday life. Based in Toronto, Jennifer has participated in several residencies and contributed to scholarly presentations and panels, and received numerous grants; her work is in private and public collections in Canada and abroad.
Nat Cann: Commorant
Commorant is New Brunswick artist Natt Cannโs collection of housing centric artworks detailing a longing for hearth and home through printmaking methods, repetition, and the contrast between idealized narratives and factual outlooks.

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, Germรกn Garcรญa, Fabiรกn 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 (4โx5โ sheet film), medium format (120 roll film), 35mm, digital cameras, and Polaroid. In
this exhibition theyโre 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, theyโre 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.

Discover the fascinating history of this ancient material and learn about modern preservation techniques in this exciting talk. We look forward to welcoming your friends and family!
UNB Art Centre Celebrates World Water Day with Two Exhibitions.
The UNB Art Centre celebrates its 13th annual World Water Day with two exhibitions, Beachcomber by Gary Weekes and Aqua by Jean-Christophe Lemay. World Water Day (WWD) is an initiative of the United Nations to bring awareness to the importance of water resources and their sustainable management. This yearโs exhibition represents two different perspectives on WWD. Weekesโ focus is less about environmental concerns and more about social ones โ the use of water as a historic means of transportation as it relates particularly to the Black experience. Lemay on the other hand, presents a series of large-scale photographs that depict the power and beauty of our Canadian waters and its inhabitants. Through his camera, Lemay creates stunning documents of the great Canadian outdoors and invites the viewer on this passionate journey with him. The exhibits open Friday, March 8 at 5 p.m. and runs until April 26.
Weekesโ Beachcomber presents a perspective on Black Canadian history. On the walls are images of the Bay of Fundyโs New River Beach. As part of the North Atlantic, the waters of the Bay of Fundy, are those same waters that touch the shores of England and Africa providing the currents upon which 18th century sailing vessels plied their trade.
Photographer Jean-Christophe Lemayโs exhibition Aqua, directs his lens on Canadaโs aquatic environments and the animals that inhabit them. His images are a means to discover the bounty that exists in this country but also to highlight the precariousness of these ecosystems. As a result of habitat degradation, pollution, over-hunting and over-fishing, the world is losing approximately 100 โ 10,000 species a year. In Canada alone, it is currently estimated that more than 800 species are on the brink of extinction with over 4,000 more at risk.
This event will be a screening of the new documentary film, Freeman Patterson: the universe is unfolding as it should, featuring a talk and Q&A with Freeman Patterson, the Director, Scott Munn, and a performance by the film score composer, and New Brunswick born singer-songwriter/composer, Andrew Sisk.
There are no tickets necessary for this event.
Seats are general admission.
