SUMMARY:Artist-in-Residence: Re-Focus Sustainable Art - Submission Deadline
DESCRIPTION:Call for Artist-in-Residence: Re-Focus Sustainable Art  Submission deadline: June 10\, 2012     The environmental impact of urbanization and industrialization has reached a critical point. It is now clear that our relationship to nature has drastically changed over time and that sustainable ways of living are necessary in order to deal with the complexity of the environmental challenges intrinsic to our subsistence; artists continue to fulfill a role of creating new forms of representations that illustrate\, embody and propose different ways of understanding our relation to Nature.    Visual Arts Nova Scotia (VANS) in collaboration with the Ecology Action Centre (EAC) and the Khyber Centre for the Arts are hosting an artist-in-residency and public presentation of ideas that brings together contemporary artistic practices and current environmental research and engagement.

SUMMARY:INFO SESSION - BEYOND THE BASICS: CONTRACTS AND COPYRIGHT
DESCRIPTION:Halifax: Visual Arts Nova Scotia\, 1113 Marginal Road  May 8\, 2012\, 6-9pm.   Instructor: The Artists Legal Information Society Presents:  Christene Hirschfeld  Registration Deadline: May 3\, 2012.    Nearly every contract relating to the business of selling or licensing art\, or providing creative services\, necessarily involves federal Copyright law. It is crucial that artists and creative service providers have a firm understanding of agreements that govern their work. Many artists and creative service providers get into legal trouble due to working without proper contracts. Minimizing legal risk and avoiding customer conflicts are easier once you understand these types of contracts. This workshop will focus on both understanding contract terms in typical art business contracts. A well-crafted\, “user friendly” agreement will protect the legal interests of artists\, while at the same time assist in setting a professional tone at the start of the artists working relationship. Contracts to be discussed will include: Artwork consignment agreements\, creative collaboration deals\, model releases\, and licensing and commission contracts.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: GETTING PAID: CALCULATING YOUR ARTIST FEE
DESCRIPTION:This workshop has been cancelled      Halifax: Visual Arts Nova Scotia\, 1113 Marginal Road.  May 17\, 2012. 6-9pm.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Ruth Marsh
DESCRIPTION:As an extension of the x2: 2010-11 VANS Mentorship Program exhibition\,  currently on view at Eyelevel Gallery until September 3\, 2011\, Visual Arts Nova  Scotia (VANS) is excited to invite you to the artist presentation of 2010-2011 participating program apprentice\, Ruth Marsh at Eyelevel Gallery on Wednesday\, August 31st\, at 7pm.     Ruth Marsh is an artist currently based in Halifax\, Nova  Scotia. She graduated from NSCAD University in 2006 with a BFA in painting  and art history. The last four years have seen the solo exhibition of four  series of encaustic paintings. Recently\, she has shifted her practice towards a  multidisciplinary approach with a focus on community engagement. In 2011\, Marsh  received a grant through the Nova Scotia Department of Communities\, Culture and  Heritage\, allowing her to expand her practice into the public exhibition of  drawings\, miniature sculptures and projects in installation and performance\, she  also received a Media Arts Scholarship through the Centre for Art Tapes. In  recent years her work has dealt with loss\, absence and longing in the context of  living creatures and the natural world. Bees in particular have held prominence\,  first as a symbol of warning and mediation and later as a representation of the  magical/spiritual transformation from living creature to holy relic. Fulfilling  all of these roles\, bees have formed the thematic “connective tissue” of Marsh’s work\, giving her practice its united  direction; this manifests most specifically in the poetic narratives surrounding  their disappearance.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Matthew Carswell
DESCRIPTION:As an extension of the x2: 2010-11 VANS Mentorship Program exhibition\,  currently on view at Eyelevel Gallery until September 3\, 2011\, Visual Arts Nova  Scotia (VANS) is excited to invite you to the artist presentation of 2010-2011 participating program apprentice\, Matthew P. Carswell\, at Eyelevel Gallery on  Tuesday\, August 30th\, at 7pm.        Matthew P.  Carswell received a BA in French from  Acadia (2006) and a BFA in Film from NSCAD University (2009). He resides in Halifax\, Nova Scotia\, Canada where  he is involved with a number of not for profit\, Halifax-based\, artist run  centres\, including the Khyber\, Eyelevel  Gallery and the Centre for Art Tapes. He has a varied practice and a checkered  past. Carswell collects  and appropriates various materials for DIY projects\, often motivated by  combating premature obsolescence and stunting the passing of time. Processes and  performances are self-documented artifacts generated to preserve their ephemeral  origins or re-purposes. His beard work navigates personal and cultural identity  and began as an extension of his hermitical hoarding  habits.    Read more about the artist presentations here.

SUMMARY:Program Information Session - Mentorship Program
DESCRIPTION:With the next deadline for applications being July 15th\, 2011 at 5pm for the 2011-12 Mentorship Program\, there will be a Program Information Session on Wednesday\, June 29th\, 2011 between 7pm-9pm at Visual Arts Nova Scotia with current program participants.    The information session will appeal to artists interested in applying to the program and/or anyone who has questions about the program. Click here to view the full call for applications.    Since 2006\, the VANS Mentorship Program has paired established artists with emerging artists (not necessarily young artists\, but those at the beginning of their artistic careers) to take part in a ten-month long mentorship from September to June.    Over the last 4 years\, the VANS Mentorship program has tailored to meet individual artistic concerns\, concepts\, working methods and ambitions for emerging visual artists (apprentices). Ambitious emerging artists were each individually paired with an established senior or mid-career artist (mentors) who helped shape the program with their individual skills and experiences.
