RECENT NEWS: WORKSHOPS, WOODCUTS & TRAMPOLINES
I can’t believe it’s Wednesday and I am just now getting to our post about last week. As you can probably imagine it was packed full (mostly of marking student work for final grades). We had three great residents staying with us last week– Kristy Lynn, Tamara Sponder and Genna Kusch, an etching workshop, Loyalist marking and a kids birthday party!

Last week was Kristy Lynn’s final week with us. She decided to add a little printmaking to the mix and finished two editions in silkscreen. Her prints turned out great (you can see them at the studio in our Curio Shop). We were really impressed the the number of pieces she completed while at the studio. While I was going through the updates she made to her website I noticed the image above, a page from her notebook, which made me feel so happy about the our home and studio.
Woodcut by Genna Kusch and Tamara Sponder

Genna and Tamara, both friends from Queen’s, came down to work on a number of projects for the week. They had started a woodcut at the studio two years ago and finally completed it, they also began an installation project which I am curating with them and finally Tamara worked on a series of etching for her Littlest Print Exchange submission.
Workshop with Trenton High School
Workshop with Trenton High School
Near the end of the week we hosted the second half of the Trenton High School Etching Workshop. During this half the students came to the studio to print their etched copper plates. We taught them about the etching process, the inking process and how to use the intaglio press. They each had the chance to work with two different colours and chine-colle. All the students left with at least 6 – 8 prints. We were contacted afterwards by the teacher with a biggest thank you email and an invitation to be the keynote speakers at the school Art Awards (so nice).
To top it all off we got some time in on my nieces new trampoline when Kyle and I (plus two of the residents) went to her third birthday party.
Links for this week:
- I am hoping to get as good as these kids on the trampoline.
- I want to write a convincing letter to Printeresting so we can get a free can of their Gamblin Ink.
- This post made me pretty excited about planting a garden this year.
- I really love the paintings of Jules De Balincourt!
What a great week!

BUSINESS OF ART: ART IN CANADA
This week the Business of Art vault brought this question:
Where is contemporary art being made in Canada?
To this I say: Everywhere.
Contemporary art is being made all over the country. There isn’t one geographic area where it is all happening. What this question made me realize is that maybe there isn’t a great resource showcasing some of the amazing things happening in the Canadian art scene. I have compiled a short list of some of the awesome Canadian writers, bloggers, spaces and artists that I visit or support.
- The MOCCA: The mandate of the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art is to exhibit, research, collect, and promote innovative art by Canadian and international artists whose works engage and address challenging issues and themes relevant to our times. I always catch really great shows here when I visit Toronto, Ontario.
- Magic Pony: Magic Pony is dedicated to the exhibition and promotion of the best in young contemporary art. We operate as a studio, gallery and retail environment, combining elements of art, design and popular culture to create a unique shopping experience. This is an amazing place to find new and exciting young Canadian artists. Tt is always on my list of places to stop into while visiting Toronto, Ontario.
- Toronto Craft Alert: A great resource for crafters and craft enthusiasts this site lists upcoming sales, calls for submissions, educational opportunities and featured articles about amazing crafters from all over.
- The Hamilton Art Crawl: Hamilton is starting to make a name for itself in the Canadian art scene, making their monthly art crawl must see event.
- Forest City Gallery: FCG’s mandate is to serve as a forum for local, regional, national and international artists through the presentation of relevant contemporary practices in visual/media arts, performance, literature and music. A great space offering interesting exhibitions and events in London, Ontario.
- Modern Fuel: Modern Fuel aims to meet the professional development needs of emerging and mid-career local, national and international artists, from diverse cultural communities, through exhibition, discussion, and mentorship opportunities. This is a great gallery space in Kingston, Ontario showcasing many talented Canadian artists.
- En Masse: Montreal, Quebec based art initiative EN MASSE is best described as an ongoing exercise in irreverent, improvised collaborative drawing — a boundary-blurring cocktail of high and lowbrow culture, pop imagery fragmented like shattered glass in a spontaneous, multi-genre, black-on-white collision.
- Poppytalk Handmade: Poppytalk is a Canadian (Vancouver, British Columbia based) design blog collecting inspiration and dedicated to promoting emerging design talent. I visit this site regularly for inspiration.
- Booooooom: Amazing art blog from Vancouver, British Columbia artist Jeff Hamada. Booooooom was created in the hopes of fostering a community of people excited to go out and be creative! This blog is great for learning about contemporary artists from Canada.
- Khyber Art Centre: The Khyber, est. 1995, is a non-profit, artist-run centre located in an historic, three-story building in downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia. The centre presents contemporary art exhibitions, artist lectures, panel discussions, performances and offers art classes to youth.
- Urban Shaman Contemporary Aboriginal Art: Located in Winnipeg, Manitoba the Urban Shaman Contemporary Aboriginal Art is a nationally recognized leader in Aboriginal arts programming and one of the foremost venues and voices for Aboriginal art in Canada.
- Art Central: About Art Central is a visual art complex at the corner of Centre Street and 7th Avenue in downtown Calgary, Alberta. Art Central aspires to be the axis of the visual art scene in Calgary: the place where artists conjoin with galleries and art aficionados, the stimulus for the production of excellence, innovation, and new ideas, the place where art intersects with the community, enlarging its experience and enhancing its perception of art.
- UPPERCASE Magazine: Another great source of information surrounding talented people from all over, Uppercase Magazine is a quarterly craft, fashion, illustration, and design journal published by Janine Vangool in Calgary, Alberta.
I would love to hear of any other places (as I am sure there are many) so please feel free to add your favorite Canadian art place, space or person to our comments section.

GRANT WRITING
This weeks The Business Side of Art question is: “Where can I access materials to help me with funding and the application process for grants?”
Sourcing funding is an important part of the art world since, like any business, artists need capital in order to produce work. For some artists and art organizations applying for grants can occupy more time than is actually spent making work or running the facility. Along with being time consuming grant writing can be extremely challenging. Being surrounded by artists regularly we have heard our fair share of grant secrets, success stories and failures. We have even experience some of these first hand. Our first two years were successfully funded by a provincial grant but our third year has seen no grants at all.
The hard and fast answer to this question is that there isn’t one right way to apply for funding. There are elements that can make you a more eligible candidate. Having provoking and well documented work, creating an intriguing project idea, incorporating programs with the local community or addressing current national issues are just some of the ways you can help yourself receive funding. The thing to remember is that reading the guidelines carefully is the most important step. Knowing that your project/work fulfills the grant requirements is always going to help you get further in the granting process. Ensure you are clear about what you are planning to with the funding and be realistic. Most artist grants have a large number of applicants so make sure you review every detail of your application and request a realistic amount for your project.
While it can be surprisingly hard to find solid information about writing grants successfully there are a few online resources that will help you put together a grant application. I have listed a few below:
-CARFAC is a great resource for Canadian artists. Not only do they produce comprehensive publications they also host workshops meant to demystify many of the business challenges artist have.
S. JOSEPH LEVINE’S GUIDE TO WRITING A FUNDING PROPOSAL
-This guide is filled with great information and takes you through a grant application step-by-step. It gives you hints along with examples and is often updated with new information.
GRANTING AGENCIES (ex. Canada Arts Council)
-It is good to remember that the granting agency has staff that are there to help you write. If you plan well enough in advance these people are a great wealth of knowledge. You can call or write them with all your questions and they will provide you with answers that will help make sure you are writing what the granter is looking for. There are often grant writing sessions offered by granting agencies as well. These sessions will explain what programs are available, who is eligible and how to apply.
-The YES Montreal website has many great resources but their Making Your Way Handbook (which is free) has some valuable information about grant writing, along with tips about pricing your work, making media contacts, etc.
If you know of other helpful resources that can be added to this list send me an email chrissy[at]sparkboxstudio.com

PAST RESIDENT – SARAH AMMONS
As per usual I am trying to stay on top of the blog. I am realizing that I may not be as good at multitasking as I would like to have myself think. With the upcoming exhibition at the John M. Parrott Art Gallery I have been trying to go back and forth between the studio and Spark Box admin, which is proving to be difficult.
Anyway, onto the post about residency award winner Sarah Ammons, who was awarded time to work on a series of etchings a few years back. At the time Sarah was in the middle of her BFA at Queen’s University. We love encouraging artists in their undergrad to participate in the residency program as it is an ideal way to meet artists and build new connections.
We were quite excited about having Sarah work in etching since prior to her stay we hadn’t had many printmakers participate in the residency program. Sarah’s etchings were manly based on portraits and in her words were a “reflection on her outlook towards life”. During her stay she completed a number of medium sized works and had the opportunity to learn our non-toxic process.
ETCHING WORKSHOP WITH MOIRA SECONDARY
In anticipation of starting up workshops again I have decided to reflect on our most recent workshop at the new studio with a group of high school students from Belleville. Over the past few years we’ve worked hard to build a good relationship with the different schools around the area. We see art as a truly beneficial experience for any young person. Art provides youth with a place to express themselves in an open and nurturing space and we love giving a young person a chance to participate in an environment where they can freely be who they want to be.
This past fall we had the pleasure of hosting a two day etching workshop with a group of art students from Moira Secondary. Their teacher Rosanne Duke (a big supporter of the studio) she asked if her class could learn intaglio printmaking with us through the process of etching. We have done this workshop with Loyalist in the past and it has been a huge success so we jumped on the chance to share this very old process with her students.
This was the first big workshop we have held in our new space, making it a bit nerve-racking. With over 20 students we weren’t too sure how the space would hold-up, but to our surprise it turned out very well. We first went to their classroom to give each student their pre-grounded plates and the step-by-step instruction on how to carve their image. Then the entire class came to Picton to print their plates on our press. Each student had the chance to make an edition of four prints in two different colours. During the first half of the studio day students were timidly working with the inks and using the press but by the second half they were experimenting with different application processes and producing some really inspiring pieces.
If you are interested in learning about etching be sure to sign-up for our January Etching Workshop >> find out more here <<
JANUARY WORKSHOP // ETCHING WEEKEND
This introductory course requires no previous experience with printmaking. Students will begin the lesson with fresh copper plates and learn how to transform them into a small edition of prints. This workshop will teach students a non-toxic form of etching and will include hard ground techniques, aquatinting and soft ground techniques. By the end of the course students will have an understanding of the basic principles of printmaking including the above etching processes along with working with printing inks and using a traditional etching press.

PREFIX MAGAZINE
Picked up a copy of Prefix magazine last night at Chapters and found Spark Box in the Opportunities section. I knew that we might be mentioned but didn’t know it actually happened so that was a nice surprise. Prefix Photo is an engaging magazine, based out of Toronto. It is dedicated to contemporary photography and related arts. Characterized by innovative design and outstanding production values, Prefix Photo consists primarily of portfolio and essay sections, providing a complement of intelligent texts and breath-taking visuals. These features are accompanied by newsbriefs which provide information and opportunities for professional photographers, including new technological developments. Each issue of Prefix Photo presents the work of Canadian photographers, both emerging and established, alongside that of their international counterparts.
PAST RESIDENT- ALISON THOMPSON
A past winner from the summer 2011 residency award was painter and textile artist Alison Thompson. Her stay at Spark Box ranged from working on her paintings, to discussing the cross-section of art and craft, to embroidery our vintage chair, to exploring the Prince Edward County scenery.
It was such a joy to have her at the studio, her positive energy filled the house. Her work perfectly reflected her personality – bright, cheerful, vintage and fun. The work produced at the studio expressed her interest in the world of craft and her passion for the world of art. Her embroidery work filled the desire to work with traditional women’s needle craft and her watercolour paintings of quilt patterns addressed her pursuit of the fine arts.
RESIDENCY AWARD
Beginning your career as an emerging artist can be tough, which is why Spark Box Studio is offering FREE RESIDENCIES to fine art students and emerging artists. This residency opportunity is a unique way for young and emerging artists to cultivate new ideas, access a rich library of arts resources, learn about career-building opportunities, and develop an understanding of the art world from a business perspective.

AWARD WINNER: AMANDA MCCAVOUR
I met Toronto artist Amanda McCavour during the Come Up To My Room exhibition at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto. She had a room installation which featured an entirely sewn living room space. Over the course of that weekend we hung out quite a bit and I was very happy to see that she had applied for our residency award.
Amanda “uses a sewing machine to create thread drawings and installations by sewing into a fabric that dissolves in water. This fabric makes it possible for [her] to build up the thread by sewing repeatedly into [her] drawn images so that when the fabric is dissolved, the image can hold together without a base. These thread images appear as though they would be easily unraveled and seemingly on the verge of falling apart …”. She is “interested in the vulnerability of thread, its ability to unravel, and its strength when it is sewn together.”
While at the studio she worked a few different projects, one involved sewing lined paper and another comprised of several new pieces for her Scribble series. The lined paper work, I assume, will feed into her Folded Fortune work (see above), which developed through experimenting with themes of children’s crafts and things she had made when she was younger. The Scribble series is yet another project based on a popular children’s craft, the spirograph. The result of these pieces is a very impressive installation comprised of several scribble drawings suspended from a ceiling.
KINGSTON ARTS COUNCIL MEDIA WORKSHOP
Last night we had a great turn out for our collaborative “How to Work the Media Workshop” with the Kingston Arts Council. With 6 panelists and a great group of attendees the night was filled with informative media tips and valuable questions. Our panelists were honest and forthcoming with their advice and our audience didn’t shy away from asking real questions and discussing challenges they face when trying to get their exhibits, openings and events noticed by local and national media.
Greg Tilson, Programming Director for the Kingston Arts Council, picked a solid panel featuring many local media reps including Rene Dick from Scout Design, Steve Campbell from The County Magazine, Katy McIntyre from the Picton Arts Council and Scott Johnston from the Picton Gazette. Below is a sample of some of the great information that was offered to the group. This tidbit comes from Adam Bramburger, the editor from the Picton Gazette. Here Adam tells us what he looks for in a press release.
TIPS FOR PRESS RELEASES
There’s a simple format that I teach reporters and people writing press releases to follow that I’ll pass along. This format should help them get the media’s attention. I think most people have watched the movie Austin Powers and remember my favourite character, Fat Bastard — another oversized redhead — and his catch phrase “Get In ma belly.” Well, if they remember Get INMA, they’ll be set.
INMA to me, is an acronym with all the pertinent questions the media needs to know.
I – The Issue
Simply put, tell us what you’re about in a single sentence with focus – somebody doing something for a reason. That’s enough to build a story on right there.
N - What’s New
We need a hook to tell us what makes what you’re doing different than anything that hasn’t happened before and why it is timely right now for us to be there.
M – What it Means
We need to know why the average joe, whether they’re superbly interested in the arts or not should care that this development happened. Give some context to let us know the broader hopes of what you want to accomplish.
A – What’s Ahead
This is where you make sure you relate to the community what they can do with relation to your event or project — get in the dates, prices, phone and e-mail whatever — and maybe leave them looking forward to things that will happen in the future.
Other things to consider:
1. Contact by email and phone (usually on the same day). Mention that you have sent an email or that you phoned earlier and that you are following up to ensure everything was received. Adam mentions that Wednesdays are the WORST days to try and get in touch with him, consider asking other media representatives the best or worst day to contact them.
2. Don’t clog up your press release with bios and photos. Keep it simple. Send all the additional information as added attachments.
3. Think about timing. It is best to send in a story two weeks before your event. This way the media can plan and have time to get your information out there.
4. Adam would like to reveal a press release myth, that media would rather have press releases or articles written by someone else and submitted in full to save time. For the Picton Gazette it is the exact opposite. They employ many reporters and journalists and they would much rather give them the job of writing about your event, putting together an interview and writing an article for the paper.
5. When you are drafting your press release for the media consider what they generally feature in their paper/magazine/website. The Picton Gazette enjoys featuring local artists who are engaging with the public, doing something interesting and different and enriching the community.
6. Always consider sending a one-line summation. Sometimes it might be a good thing to send as a subject line, as a headline on a press release or as a bold note.
7. It is always a good idea to give the time, date, and place in a simple to find manner.
COME UP TO MY ROOM
COME UP TO MY ROOM
Exhibition Hours:
Friday, January 28, 12-8pm
Saturday, January 29, 12-10pm
Sunday, January 30, 12-5pm
Every January the Gladstone Hotel hands its rooms and spaces over to a group of 20 artists and designers for one of their most exciting shows Come Up To My Room. This alternative design event spans over four days and features 11 room installations and 14 public space projects. Only 44 artists and designers are selected and Prince Edward County’s Chrissy Poitras and Becky Lane were among these.
Chrissy and Becky will be creating a public space piece entitled Chaos Theory in which the two will collaborate to create a process-driven installation which discusses the junction between happenstance and expectation through that quintessential symbol of order: the clock. The themes of chaos and order are addressed from opposite ends of the spectrum.
Chrissy Poitras is an abstract painter and printmaker with a degree in fine art from Queens University. Her work is an investigation of the accidental marks found in her surroundings, the purpose of which is not to create a unified composition, but to allow the viewer to follow trains of thought.
Becky Lane is a designer with a degree in interior design from Ryerson University. She is the principal designer for the design studio, I Beast You. Becky explores themes of nostalgia and remembrance by recreating objects from her past, and incorporating the discarded objects from other people’s pasts into her own story.

THE LITTLEST PRINT EXCHANGE
Sometimes, when you don’t have time to create a whole body of work, it is fun to participate in a collaborative project. That is why this past summer I applied to be part of the Littlest Print Exchange. The Littlest Print Exchange is an annual juried trade of tiny art prints. Fifty artists are each invited to submit an edition of 50 prints and in turn receive a complete portfolio of 50 prints from all 50 contributing artists.
To my luck I was picked to be one of the 50 printmakers involved. So in early October I got to work making my 50 3″ x 3″ etchings to send off to Illinois. Why did Christopher Clark start the Littlest Print Exchange? He says that ”in truth, the Littlest Print Exchange is a chance to defy the notion that bigger is better, to prove that good things really do come in small packages, and to build connections between artists working around the globe.”
Being the owner of a print studio I encourage any opportunity to see the work of other printmakers and to connect with them. Because of this I was really excited and happy when I say the little package sitting in our mail box from Chris. I am also happy to announce that all of you can see these great prints as well. We will have the Mini Print Show up at Spark Box Studio until the end of the month.

SQUARE2 ISSUE THREE
The third issue of the Square2 Magazine is now for sale at Spark Box Studio and Books and Company! This issue looks at artists who work in a traditional fashion, creating art grounded in history, using materials, methods and subject matter passed down through generations.
We had the opportunity to launch this issue with an intimate concert at the Bloomfield Town Hall with Julian Brown and Blake Howard.
We are now working on the fourth issue which is already looking to be packed full of great and inspiring artists!

LETS RAISE ENTREPRENEURS
We love TED talks and these two are very fitting with what we encourage here at Spark Box – thinking outside the box, being creative and getting people interested in the things you make. We have been pouring our collected knowledge into our two guide sites: The Emerging Artist Guide and The Art School Guide that are meant to help artists at all stages of their career.
I found the Cameron Herold video on the site Etsy.com and at first his talk sounded a bit too business for me. With all his references to accounting, market research, revenue, etc. I didn’t see where an artist like myself could relate. But after watching it again I started seeing myself in many of his stories. I started selling my art outside my house when I was 10, I created a handmade dog biscuit business and had pet stores selling them when I was in my last year of high school, I saw that kids had nothing to do in my small town so I convinced a local bar to have a Youth Party night where we could dance until 11 PM when I was 13. Sure I may not be doing all of these things now but my parents always stood behind me, helped me out and encouraged me to pursue my dreams. This has helped me immensely as an artist.
I struggle with seeing myself as a business person on a pretty regular basis. I worry about the typical issues of “selling out”. But the reality is artists make things and they want galleries, people, etc. to show these things or buy them. Even if you make art that isn’t for sale you still need to get galleries interested in showing them. No matter how you try to swing it artists are entrepreneurs. So embrace this notion and find the resources out there that will help you get people to see the awesome things you are making!
COUNTY RADIO SHOW
Kyle and I were lucky enough to have been interviewed by the County Radio Show, a feature on the newest County website Horntrip Magazine. The magazine focuses the local food and wine industry but the County Radio Show speaks to many different Prince Edward County entrepreneurs. Janet Davies was kind enough to think of us for there most recent podcast. Listen to it here and be sure to check out the Horntrip site to find out about all the other great things going on in this area!
ART TORONTO 2010
Canada’s leading art fair is at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre this week (Oct. 29 – Nov. 1) with more than 100 exhibitors and projects. The image above, a custom-painted car by South African artist Esther Mahlangu, came from a Canadian Art Magazine article covering some of the shows highlights. If you are in Toronto this weekend this is a definite Must Go event!
HANDMADE MARKETPLACE
SALON PRIZE
Just wanted to give Kingston artists a heads up about the Salon Prize Juried exhibition. Sounds like a great opportunity to get your work seen in Kingston. Below are the details and a link to the website.
About Salon Prize
The birth of The Salon Prize came from Cleah Bunting’s overwhelming desire to help out other artists in their own working lives. The prize was originally done in association with The Kingston School of Art–however due to the demands of the growing contest–the competition out grew the school.
Cleah’s intentions with the competition is to provide not only prizes, but also opportunities for artists to showcase their work. This prize is about the image presented to us (judges)…meaning we are not concerned with current artwork/styles, the artists reputation, nor where they stand in the community. As a show–we are looking for images that evoke and capture our audience–that are not only acts of brilliance but will also encourage creative growth amongst many of the artists whom visit the show.
I believe strongly in Kingston’s creative community–and with pleasure feel it necessary to show my respect to other artists by allowing them a voice through this project. This contest is all about “What is best for the image……”
I would like to thank Kingston’s community support for allowing this prize to thrive well into it’s second year–for we could not have done it without you.
And we wish every entrant the best success!!
“Happy Painting”–Ted Seth Jacobs.
Prizes
The Salon Prize is proud to support the Fine Arts Community by offering the following
prizes to contest participants.
1st Place – $1000!
2nd Place -500!
3rd Place – $100 Wallacks Gift Card!
This year we will also be featuring a $100 door prize just for the fun of it!
