Cinema at the Centre: Barefoot in the Park
Wednesday, February 09, 6:30 pm
Join us before Valentine's Day for a vintage romantic treat. Gene Paks and Neil Simon's Barefoot in the Park takes
a peek at the adventures of two newlyweds living in a cramped sixth floor Greenwich Village brownstone with no
elevator. Corie (Jane Fonda), a spontaneous, adventurous bride is determined to turn the unheated single room with
a hole in the skylight into a romantic environment for her tightly wound, hard-working hubby Paul (Robert Redford)
- an ordeal that has them realize their awkward yet passionately adorable differences.

Love Alberta Arts Valentine's Day Flash
Mob
Monday February 14th at 12:30pm
Edmonton City Centre EAST Mall Food Court
Why? The Professional Arts Coalition of Edmonton (PACE) of which SNAP is a member is spearheading a campaign that
we are hoping will go viral across Alberta through the involvement of arts organizations and professional artists
in our province. The campaign started in anticipation of the 2011 provincial budget with the memory of last year’s
16 per cent cuts still fresh in our minds. As you know, another cut like the one endured last year – or worse –
will surely mean the death of many valued and innovative arts and culture organizations in our province. This year,
it is our goal to work in a concerted fashion to influence the government and people of Alberta that further cuts
to Alberta’s arts and culture sector will hurt the entire province. For more information about other ways to get
involved check out the PACE website. www.pacedmonton.com

Art Gallery of Alberta
The Far Shore
The Far Shore is a consummate expression of Joyce Wieland’s artistic sensibility, a gorgeous painterly film, formal
in conception, deliberate in its flagrant symbolism (the rigid imposition of WASP power on French-Canadian culture)
and portrayal of Canadian myths (the mystery of Tom Thomson’s drowning in Algonquin Park), and exuding romantic
naturalism. This northern love story, rooted in the landscape of the Group of Seven and the realities of the Canadian
experience, is a tale of passion both carnal and artistic.
Rarely screened, this is a special opportunity to view, in Robert Fulford’s words, one of the “most densely Canadian
movies ever made.”

The 16% Exhibition
Date: Saturday, January
15, 2011 - Saturday, March 26, 2011
Alberta’s arts sector and its supporters were shocked last spring to hear rumours, and then announcements, of huge
funding cuts. The provincial government chose to cut $5.5 million or 16% of the entire resources of the Alberta
Foundation for the Arts. The Craft Council lost $37,000 or 16% from its 2010-11 core grant. The Craft Council Board
has decided to demonstrate this cut, as visibly and shockingly as possible, with “The 16% Exhibition”.
From January 15 to March 26, this exhibition in the Craft Council’s Feature Gallery in Edmonton will be empty.
Plinths will be in place. Lights will be on. Labels will tell the story of 16%, and how this affects the arts.
Gallery visitors will be asked to participate, by contributing their thoughts, and by sending message cards to
the Premier and MLAs.
