CHRIS DONOVAN — photographer and activist

(BFA ’17)

The saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” In Chris Donovan’s case, a picture holds much more value than that. The 19-year-old photographer’s work was recently featured at the National Art Gallery of Canada, a career triumph for many artists and one achieved by Donovan years before graduation.

Selected through the So You Want to Be an Artist 2014 program by the gallery curator, Donovan’s piece On the Edge was one of 15 chosen nationally.

“It was great to have my work selected for the National Gallery,” he says. “I’ve always been interested in photography. I remember taking photos around our house when I was little. I’m probably the last generation to learn how to take pictures on film.”

This interest also has a family connection. Donovan’s grandfather was a photographer. Although he died shortly before Donovan was born, he says this history had a big impact on him.

“I never met my grandfather, but feel his work has influenced me. I have a tattoo of his signature over my heart,” he says. He has put this inherited talent to good use, using his photos to raise awareness and funds for important social issues.

In 2013, working with the Saint John Human Development Council, Donovan created a photo series focusing on the issue of youth homelessness in the city. The project not only raised awareness, but also assisted in fund raising for Safe Harbour Shelter for Youth, which is currently under construction. This summer Donovan held another exhibition in partnership with the Council to raise

awareness on another social issue — substandard housing. The show was held in August in Brunswick Square.

“Substandard housing is an important issue in many cities, especially Saint John. I hope my work will help bring more attention to this problem,” he says.

In addition to his work with the Human Development Council, Donovan established the Humans of Saint John Facebook page in 2013. The page, inspired by a conversation he had with a local man while working at the Saint John Jewish Museum, now has over 11,000 followers.

“He came up to me and asked if he could tell me a story,” says Donovan. “He said that two Jewish doctors in Saint John had helped him on separate occasions in his life. At the time he was 58, diagnosed with brain and lung cancer. He told me he had wanted to share this story for a long time but could never find someone who would truly appreciate it.”

His was the first story on Humans of Saint John.

“I found out shortly after that the man had passed away,” Donovan says. “His family contacted me to let me know and thanked me for taking the time to talk with him.”

In addition to his creative work and studies, Donovan also works as a photographer and production assistant for the Argosy, and was previously the student newspaper’s photo editor. He has been an intern with the Kings County Record and has had his photography featured on the front page of the TelegraphJournal New Brunswick’s daily provincial newspaper.

In the performance of a lifetime

Hundreds gathered at the northwest edge of Mount Allison’s campus on Oct. 3 to celebrate a momentous day in the University’s history — the official opening of the Purdy Crawford Centre for the Arts (PCCA). The opening of the 50,000-square-foot building marked the first new academic building on campus for more than three decades — the last being the Crabtree building in 1979.

“This is what a dream come true looks like,” says Gloria Jollymore, vice-president, university advancement. “We have been looking forward to this day for a very long time. The Purdy Crawford Centre for the Arts represents Mount Allison’s commitment to arts education and the arts in general. It also reflects our deep commitment to provide our students with the best possible academic experience.”

The Centre has been a long-time goal for the University, as facilities for both Fine Arts and Drama were spread across campus and, in many cases, were not adequate creative spaces.

“We could see the immeasurable value in providing students and faculty a space for exploration, discovery, and learning,” says President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Robert Campbell.

Alumni and friends also supported the vision for the Centre — in a big way. When the project began, the University’s lofty goal was to raise $20 million. To date, $23.6 million has been raised in private donations and the building was built with no direct government funding or external debt.

The Hon. Margaret McCain (’54) spoke at the opening on behalf of the benefactors.

“It is our gift to students and faculty today and tomorrow and tomorrow,” she says. “ We want them to have the very best so they can become their very best.”

The benefactors were also motivated to give to the Centre so generously to honour a great Allisonian, Purdy Crawford (’52), for whom the building is named.

“Purdy loved learning,” says McCain. “He loved passing his knowledge and experience on to those around him. He would have loved seeing everyone thrive in this new space.”

Sadly, Crawford passed away only weeks before the building was to open. The official opening brought together many of his family members — including his wife Bea, his six children and their partners, and 17 grandchildren — as well as many close friends, to celebrate the building, but also to honour a man who meant so much to them, to Mount Allison, and to Canadian business.

The Hon. Margaret McCain (’54) addresses the crowd on behalf of benefactors of the Purdy Crawford Centre for the Arts.

“We miss him greatly, but in having this Centre bear his name we formally recognize that Purdy’s contributions to Mount Allison — his wisdom, generosity, and insight — continue to impact this campus and the people who live, work, and learn here,” says McCain.
