Funding/Cinema Festival show/New York art scene
1) Come and draw and paint with us this Friday Oct. 27, 10 to 130, in VA 315. There will be fresh bagels, juice and snacks. Try our new woodless pencil crayons, cut up stonehenge paper into the size you want.
Our proposal for a special project grant went in to the Fine Arts Student Alliance before the deadline, we’re asking for $500 for an interesting project that’s a bit different (hint: it involves eight special events).
2) Check out new images on our website by collective member Stephanie Reynolds; they are in the photos section.
3) You have until Saturday to catch an art show organized by Concordia in collaboration with the Festival du nouveau cinéma. The show is called Nouveau Cinema - New Image. Two multi-layered digital prints by Robert Winters were selected for the show, which continues until Saturday, noon until 5. The gallery is in a storefront space on the ground floor of EV building, the entrance is directly from Ste. Catherine St.
Here’s a Concordia Journal item about one artist in the show, a German photographer/filmmaker who says some of her work is inspired by The Godfather. Photo is by Robert Winters:

4) if you’re wondering what’s happening in the New York art scene, you can visit a website run by Nancy Smith, a Concordia MFA graduate:
Nancy's website, ArtloversNewYork, features some interesting drawings in her latest posting, talking about a book that's just come out in New York. Here is the link:

Here is her home page:

Simon Cerigo, the curator she quotes on home page about the fall New York auctions, is her husband, also is a Concordia graduate, who started as an art dealer when they moved to New York in the early 1980s, then managed and worked in galleries in Chelsea.
Her site covers the Chelsea art scene back to 2002 when she started doing coverage for Artnet.com, then took her site independent in late 2004.
