Home of Nova Scotia Ceramist Sally Ravindra Devastated by Hurricane Dorian - PLEASE SUPPORT GoFundMe Campaign!
When Hurriane Dorian struck Nova Scotia ceramicist Sally Ravindra's home was directly in the path of devastation. Hurricane Dorian approached Halifax on September 6th, it was a Class 2 , when it hit land it was classified as post-tropical cyclone. That change in classification did little to buffer the devastation that would take on Halifax head on with with winds in excess of 100mph (160km/h). Over 450 000 residents of Nova Scotia were left without power, numerous communities faced damage from tidal surges and Sally's beloved home was in the middle of it all.

Craft NB Biennale 2020 Curator Application -- "Maritime Vernacular" 📣📣
Deadline to apply: October 18th, 2019
Full details: http://bit.ly/craftnbbiennalecurator
Craft NB is seeking a curator for its Biennale exhibition titled "Maritime Vernacular."
The Maritime Vernacular is uniquely ours. It goes far beyond the kitschy tourist keychains of lobsters and lighthouses. It is entrenched with a rich history and also a contemporary way of living in this place and on this land. We entertain in our kitchens and approach houses by the back doors. Self-reliance is a point of pride, but so is neighbourly bartering and community support.
This exciting exhibition will be a culmination of craft and poetry. Work will be created based on not only the theme, but also inspired by a poem written by the City of Fredericton’s Poet Laureate Jenna Lyn Albert. Once the final craft pieces have been selected, a group of poets chosen by the team at The Fiddlehead in partnership with the Poet Laureate will then respond to the objects. The poems and fine craft will then tour to various galleries and a professional catalogue will be created. As a Craft Year 2020, project pending funding the exhibition will be shown in New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia.
We are seeking a passionate and driven individual who has past curatorial or significantly relevant experience and a deep understanding and passion for the Maritimes.
To apply for this position please send the following to events@craftnb.ca:
Cover Letter indicating why you are interested in this opportunity
Curriculum Vitae
Short bio/profile of applicant
A brief statement on the theme “Maritime Vernacular”
For more information, please contact Craft NB at 506-450-8989, or events@craftnb.ca
