This exhibition delves into the outer edges of fibre arts. Fibre arts is a style of fine arts made with textiles and is more concerned with creativity and skill in the end product than functionality. In Around the Frayed Edges a narration will be spun through work that pushes the confines as to what an artist can do with fibre today. Twenty-seven fibre artists from across North America have created works for this exhibition. From sculptural to painterly to installations this leading edge exhibition addresses all of the visual arts elements – all in fibre.

Celebration of Research
March 20th 2010 1pm - 4pm
Haliburton School of Arts, Greast Hall, Haliburton Ontario
Organized by U-links Centre for Community Based Research
The purpose of the event is to display the work of Trent University students involved in this year’s community-based projects. We also invite groups involved in community-based work to contribute a display. These research and service projects inform the community about a broad range of social, cultural, environmental, and economic topics and issues. The event is a wonderful opportunity for organizations, students, and interested citizens to meet, share information, and build on the great ideas that often begin with a bit of research!
The findings from Visible Voices, an initiative I have implemented in Haliburton County, connecting seniors through artmaking, will be on display.

These modalities give voice to the internal and external worlds of both children and adults. They are tools with which to explore for example issues of loss, abuse, and self-esteem that can provide new perspectives on life experiences. This will be of interest to professionals working with children and adults in educational, health, recreation or therapeutic settings

Storytelling within the Expressive Arts.
July 19th-23rd, 2010.
Sir Sandford Fleming College, Haliburton Campus, Ontario
'A tale, however slight, illuminates truth.' Rumi
We all have stories waiting to be told. Storytelling is a means of helping us understand ourselves, the world and our place in it. As a modality it can be woven into expressive arts experiences for all ages and abilities. Through demonstrations, exercises and games, the power of fairytales, myths and legends will be explored. Investigate ways to engage people in telling their stories, for example through sandtray or story cards. Practice skills to tell stories that amplify or replace the spoken word through, for example, visual art, group telling, movement and sound. How to select stories, encourage life stories and original story writing will be discussed.
