White Water Gallery

White Water Gallery would like to announce our new summer incubator “Propaganda: Art-Made Grenade” which focuses on providing professional development and collaborative art creation opportunities starting June 4^th and going until July 20^th. Events taking place as part of the incubator include but are not limited to: Artist-Talks, Workshops, Lectures, Panel Discussions and Community Arts Projects. These events will focus primarily on ZINE and Multiples culture with emphasis given to community exchanges and non-conventional ways of disseminating artistic practices. On July 19^th & 20^th a ZINE/Multiples fair will take place at WWG as a way to offer additional opportunities for the public to engage with art.

As with many WWG programs, “Propaganda: Art-Made Grenade” represents a metaphor within artist culture alluding to hidden and potentially explosive knowledge found within creations. Our goal with this program is to bring artists and art together in a series of free and “pay-to-play” events that engage with the local community of North Bay, Ontario and online through our website. For more information please look at our call for submissions page.

Confirmed Participants: Adam Beanish, Laura Little, Peter Sloan & Clayton Windatt.

White Water Gallery is partnering with When Will You Rage? as a cross-over between several existing projects including our work with Ruth Howard. During the week of “February 25th – March 2nd” Ruth Howard, Artistic Director of Jumblies Theatre, will be leading a series of community arts events as part of a partnership between the North Bay Public Library, Aanmitaagzi and the White Water Gallery. Ruth received funding for this activity through the Ontario Arts Council’s “Artists in the Community/Workplace” grant which allows her to be in North Bay this week as well as a three week final phase this coming September. Ruth is utilizing this time to work with the community as part of When Will You Rage?.

Choreographer and Dancer Penny Couchie, from Nipissing First Nation, will present her latest work, When Will You Rage?, in partnership with Nipissing’s unique multi-disciplinary arts organization Aanmitaagzi at the Capitol Centre in North Bay on March 9, 2013 at 7:30pm. This presentation marks Couchie’s first independently created full-length performance and is the first professional contemporary dance/theatre piece to be produced in Nipissing First Nation.
