LAC, Parks Canada join forces in art program By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON – Some of the most inspiring scenes from the great outdoors have been duplicated in various formats and brought indoors for art lovers to enjoy. Through a new and unique program at Point Pelee National Park, Parks Canada and the Leamington Arts Centre have teamed up to reveal the works spawned from an artistic opportunity dubbed Artists In Residence. The five-day residency program took place June 20 to 25 within ‘The Tip of Canada’, offering six chosen artists from across Ontario housing at the A-frame cabins known as the oTENTiks while they explored the national park for inspiration. In response to announcing the program, more than 400 artists representing various mediums and stages of experience submitted applications to take part in Artists In Residence, including some from the United States. Six artists were chosen after submissions of previous works were received by representatives of Parks Canada. “It was a great chance for them to try something new,” explained Leamington Arts Centre programming and curatorial assistant Sophie Hinch. “There’s inspiration all over the park every day, so it’s an opportunity for experimentation for sure.” Representatives of the LAC, including Hinch and
curator Chad Riley, worked with Parks Canada partnering and engagement officer for Southwestern Ontario Karen Raymond as the works created in the Camp Henry oTENTiks were later brought to the Arts Centre for an exhibit that began August 27 and concludes September 21. The exhibit’s official opening took place Friday, Sept. 6 to coincide with the nearby monthly Mill Street Market. “You can really see how the park has inspired them,” Raymond said upon being granted the opportunity to view the 14 combined works during the official opening. “The reception we’ve received from the artist community has been phenomenal. It’s been a great experience and the artists have been fantastic.” The artists selected for the program include Jerry Campbell of Paris, Ont., Sheri Cappa of London, Ont., Alyson Collard Thomas of Essex, Christian Chapman of Fort William First Nation, Peg Dunnem of Stratford and Josue Martinez of Windsor. Each artist created from one to five works relating to Artists In Residence, working in mediums ranging from photography to watercolours and sculptures. Some completed rough sketches of their creations while at the oTENTiks and then finished the final piece after returning home. For anyone who misses the exhibit at the LAC, the Pelee-inspired works of the six selected artists will again be on display for the annual Art at the oTENTiks event Saturday, Oct. 19 and Sunday, Oct. 20.
