What’s in the Box? 📦

April 18 @ 7:00 pm 9:00 pm

SJAC’s popular fundraiser is back LIVE for 2024 to answer the burning question, ‘What’s in the Box?’!

When is ‘What’s in the Box?’

Thursday, April 18, 7-9pm, join us for an entertaining evening of delicious food, fine drink, and an opportunity to support your community arts centre! (A $25 tax receipt can be issued for each $75 ticket.)

What actually *is* in the box?

By filling out a ballot (or more than one), you’ll have the unique chance to purchase for $100 a ‘mystery box’ containing an original artwork, which has been generously donated by one of over 50 local professional artists. If you’re not one of the lucky 50 whose ballot is drawn, maybe you’ll see a work you’d like to own in the one-night-only exhibition of works by our donor artists! (Please note that the ballot/chance to be drawn is not part of the event ticket price and is entirely optional. Attendees who choose to take part in the draw commit to buying one of the ‘mystery boxes’ of art for $100 if their ballot is drawn.)

Why support this fundraiser?

Funds from this event support our programs, including our important Artists’ Rights Fees program, to support the artists who share their works in the galleries of SJAC.

UNBSJ Unveils New Work by Tara Francis

April 11 @ 1:30 pm 2:30 pm

The UNBSJ Faculty of Arts is honoured to unveil new work by Tara Francis. April 11, 1:30pm – 2:30 pm in the Hazen Hall Foyer of UNBSJ in Saint John.

All are welcome.

Please join Tara Francis and Elder Ramona Nicholas for a celebration and unveiling of artwork recently commissioned by the UNB Saint John Faculty of Arts. In this new work, Tara represents interconnected and intergenerational histories of the Menahkwesk harbour through her contemporary take on the Mikmaq style and tradition of porcupine quill art, sharing and connecting with ancestors who have moved across the Waponahki homelands with and among their many relatives with comfort and ease.

On April 11, visit with the artist and share in a discussion of the collaborative process through which this piece was conceptualized. All are welcome, and light refreshments will be served. This event is supported by students through the UNBSJ Indigenous Advisor. For more information about this event, contact rachel.bryant@unb.ca
