2018Annual Report

Introduction2018 marks a new chapter for the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington (VAC) and we are excited now more than ever to bring to Clarington the very best of contemporary art from within our local community and to show work from artists whose practice contributes to a larger global conversation.

Message from thePresident of the Board

2018 was a very exciting year for the VAC. We have implemented a lot of changes and have seen huge successes. I would like to congratulate staff, volunteers and instructors who have made this past year possible. We have accomplished so much due to their dedication, passion and hard work.

2

I am thrilled when people enter into the VAC and experience the fresh new look in the foyer. This transformation provides a space where people are greeted, can ask questions, and feel welcomed into the gallery.

The new exhibition programming initiatives, implemented by our curator Sandy Saad, has elevated the engagement for visitors to experience our exhibitions in a new way. One of my favourites was Gerald Banting’s nature walk, which took visitors outside of the gallery space and into the nature trails that informed Gerald’s artistic process.

The new format for our exhibition catalogues provides support for our visitors to better understand the artwork we present through the critical writing in the essays and inspiring visuals in the layout and design.

Volunteers are vital to the work we do. We have expanded the amazing opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to volunteer. Our new programs offer enriching experiences for volunteers who give their time to our organization.

The VAC has exciting public programs that provide a variety of ways for the community to see art in different ways. In 2018 we launched the Clarington Outdoor Festival as a new initiative. This festival brought new artists to our space and attracted the residents of Clarington over two days to support artists, craftspeople and musicians.

3

With all of these exciting changes and successes, the Board of Directors has responded in stride. In 2018, we welcomed three new members to our Board of Directors. The board has moved into more committee work to better support the changes and growth of the VAC.

The successes of 2018 laid a great foundation for the board to evaluate the organization, informing a course for our next strategic planning phase. With the collaboration of staff, board, VAC members, volunteers, community stakeholders and artists, the board has created a strategic plan to inform the continued growth and success of the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington.

Mary Anne SlemonPresident, Board of Directors

Message from theExecutive Director

2018 brought a lot of exciting changes for our organization. Coming out of a restructuring phase, we assembled a new team, who I am proud to say hit the ground running. As the new staff settled into their new roles, there was no disruption to service to our members and having these new positions at the VAC offered exciting new perspectives on the programs and services we provide to the community.

5

In 2018, our exhibition timetable had already been secured and confirmed by our past ED/Curator, James Campbell. Sandy Saad, our current curator, took this opportunity to look at how we present contemporary art to the community. Our focus over the year was to enhance the ways that the residents in Clarington engage with the art in our spaces. Our focus for the 2018 year was to increase the level of programming around each exhibition. This provided exciting opportunities for each artist showing their work and provided more time for the community to learn something new.

In 2018, Fiona Crangle provided guided tours to high school and girl guide groups throughout her exhibition as a way of exploring her questions of what feminism is with youth. At the end of his exhibition, Gerald Banting took a group of gallery visitors down to the Bowmanville Valley Conservation Area to discuss his process of care and preservation of the creek as an extension of his artistic practice, giving us insight into his paintings and installation project.

Our goal for this exhibition year was to find interesting ways to program around our shows, providing a better experience for our visitors, our communities and the artists who show in our spaces.

6

In an effort to be more inclusive, we have restructured the Art From the High School Exhibition. We have designed an application where students can apply to be in the show themselves, as well as our traditional method of taking art selected by the high school art teachers. This application will include an opportunity to be awarded our student bursary. Our goal in opening this application process is to provide a fair opportunity for students who may not currently be enrolled in an art program at the time of the exhibition. This will also provide an opportunity for students who may be creating artwork on their own time, in a class at the VAC or may be in an alternative learning environment.

The changes we have employed in 2018 have been recognized by the Ontario Arts Council. With our last application, the feedback from our peer review showed an increase from OAC to elevate the VAC to a “b-level” gallery. This is a signifier that we are operating with best practices correlating with other public art institutions in Ontario and that the programming we are providing to our community aligns with the larger ecology of contemporary art practice within Canada.

Another area of focus has been on building synergy between our exhibition programs and our educational programming. We are building towards being a place where people can come and see new things, ask questions and learn something new.

7

We were fortunate to have received funding from Young Canada Works - Building Careers in Heritage Grant. This allowed us to hire a recently graduated student to work for six months as a paid intern and the VAC benefited significantly from this program. Working alongside our Curator of Exhibitions and Education, Sam has learned about ceramics, studio maintenance, arts education and program management. She has been conducting her own research about the VAC and the history of Bowmanville to develop educational programs for local school groups with specific projects that will inspire young minds. These programs will be available to schools for both on-site visits at the VAC or artists in the classroom programming.

In 2018 we increased the support for our summer programs by securing a full-time Camp Director through Young Canada Works - Summer Student Program and 4 camp counsellor positions through the Service Canada - Canada Summer Jobs Program.

With this added support, we were able to create High School Co-Op positions which offer great benefit to both the VAC and the students, who gained valuable experience, through designing programming, working with professional artists on installations and learning the day to day operations of a public institution.

We are continuing to reinforce our connection to our immediate community by providing opportunities and support for artists in our area by increasing the occasions to show and participate in art.

Our Annual Kids Art Festival, known as Picasso’s Picnic, has consistently grown in numbers. In its seventh year, we continue to offer new engaging programming for our visitors with age-specific activities, more artist-run activity booths, and opening our studio spaces to offer new things to see and learn.

The Clarington Outdoor Art Festival was a new initiative for the VAC in 2018 and it was very well received by both the artists who participated and the visitors who came out to enjoy the day and support the artists. We were able to showcase local artists and musicians over 2 days - including musicians who teach at Hands on Music in Bowmanville and the Circle of Sixths, a youth jazz band, who blew the audience away! This resulted in the band securing paid commitments in some of the local businesses throughout Clarington during the Christmas season.

10

We continue to strengthen our relationships and ally with other community organiza-tions - we have worked with the Bowmanville Older Adults Association on their photography project which is currently on display in the Municipal Administrative Centre hall-way and foyer, we are collaborating with the Museum on joint programming to compliment both organization’s programming initiatives and working with the Planning Department for a public art initiatives in the downtown cores of Newcastle, Orono, Bowmanville and Courtice, as well as supporting the downtown initiatives such as Maple Fest, Apple Fest, Bluesberry Fest, the Clarington Public Library’s Annual Winter Wonderlearn and most recently with the Clarington Board of Trade and Economic Development for a project with a Marketing Class at Bowmanville High School.

This year we have been focused on improving our Volunteer Management by creating specific roles and job descriptions outlining our needs, as well as providing better value for volunteers giving their time to our organization. Again, to be more inclusive, we have taken advantage of the new Clarington Volunteers portal to reach a wider audience and engage new people in our space

2019 marks a new chapter for the VAC, in conjunction with the openings of our 2019 programs, we made our first land acknowledgement. In order to do this, we reached out to the Mississaugas of the Scugog Island First Nation, where we met with Council Member Jamie Coons to seek guidance on writing a statement. Once it was approved, Councillor Jamie Coons presented our first land acknowledgementat the VAC, as a signal to our new and ongoing relationship.

It is important to us that we remain an inclusive space for diverse voices and stories where members from within and outside of our community can ask questions, learn new things and make connections. We understand that the land acknowledgement is a small step in the process, but the path forward is respecting the past and learning from each other in the present to build a diverse and inclusive community.

11

The Visual Arts Centre of Clarington is situated on the traditional territory and treaty lands of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. Our work on these lands acknowledges the signatory communities of the Williams Treaties, as well as the Mississauga Nation and other members of the broader Indigenous community, for their resilience, and their longstanding contributions to the area now known as the Durham region.

As the community in Clarington grows, our organization continues to benefit from this growth. We are seeing an increase in membership and enrollment, and more requests for programs, workshops and events. We are dedicated to providing high-quality programs and opportunities for our membership and to our community.

exhibitions

Fiona Crangle’s figurative paintings explore the portrayal of women in both a contemporary and art historical context. Her painting practice directly quotes famous artworks produced by male artists looking at female subjects. She replaces historical characters with real, contemporary women such as her daughter, her friends, and her students. Some of the women send her selfies to reference, while others perform for her the activities portrayed in the paintings. Drawn from a female perspective, Crangle’s work raises questions about the male

gaze, the way in which women are portrayed historically and in the present day, and the scrutiny by which we view them.

The exhibition is divided into three spaces: The small gallery is lined with portraits of teenage girls occupying Baroque portraits of female saints. The main gallery consists of paintings in which Crangle engages with the work of Johannes Vermeer and his portrayal of women in the home. Finally, the exhibition ends in the third

floor loft gallery where Crangle has created an installation replicating a set from a Vermeer painting. Visitors are prompted to sit in the set and perform a mundane task while a camera records the scene and presents it on a television monitor in the main gallery.

Biography:Fiona Crangle graduated from York University in 1990 with a Bachelor of Fine Art and a Bachelor of Education. Her career as an arts educator has spanned over two decades and informs her practice. She explores subject matter that parallels the interest of her students, examining themes of adolescence, self-portrayal, and of young women. Crangle has shown her work in solo and group exhibitions in various commercial and community galleries.

Public Program: Saturday, March 10, 2018Artist Fiona Crangle delivered a public talk about her painting practice. She invited the audience to participate in everyday mundane tasks like folding laundry as a way to step into the roles depicted in her painting’s subjects.

Anne O’Callaghan is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice incorporates a wide range of me-dia, including text, and photo-based works, artist books, video, sound installation, and sculpture. For over three decades, O’Callaghan has devoted her artistic practice to the exploration of art and politics, memory, and the ways in which artists can affect change.

Utopia! Who’s Listening Now is an exhibition made up of a series of installations through which O’Callaghan responds to political events in our recent history. Her work aims to explore, subvert, and deconstruct the ways in which gov-ernments, police, institutions, and corporations have developed and employed methods of sur-veillance, communication, and propaganda.

21

Jane LowBeer invites us to join her contemplation on the significance of the ordinary, the quotidian, and the impermanent in The Preponderance of the Small. Her monotypes explore contemporary still-life, making drama out of inconspicuous household items. The exhibition transitions to animated objects that describe a strange co-mingling of the natural world with fabricated elements, and ends with a sculptural installation that

brings together natural forms as graphic shapes and line. Using printmaking, collage, and assemblage, LowBeer explores the objectification and abstraction of ordinary things and leads us through tangles and rhythms born of repetition. The Preponderance of The Small encourages us to wander, to discover ourselves in the journey, using the ephemera of our lives to stay present.

23

The Preponderance of the SmallJane Low BeerJune 3 - July 1, 2018

24

Mary Catherine Newcomb’s artistic practice is deeply engaged with the exploration of death, myth, rebirth, nature, and time. Her work often occupies paradoxical intersections of attraction and repulsion, myth and reality, and life and death. Bread and Bones is an exhibition in which Newcomb’s contemplation of life and death is manifested in a series of sculptures featuring plants growing out of animal corpses, bread baked into the skulls and bodies of dogs, hares, and

and chickens, and a hanging cow skeleton ornamented with intricate Talavera decorative motifs. Newcomb’s seductive work invites you into a fantastical space that is both strange and familiar, offering a distinct mode of reality and evoking terror and wonder.

25

Bread and BonesMary Catherine NewcombJuly 15 - August 12, 2018

Biography:Mary Catherine Newcomb is a sculptor who works in a variety of media while exploring notions of nature, magic, myth, science, and time.

“If you go down to the woods today…” is the first line in the 1907 children’s song, “The Teddy Bear’s Picnic”. The song made its way into pop-culture since the 1932 Henry Hall rendition and had been widely recorded, as incidental music in TV series, commercials and films. “The Teddy Bear’s Picnic” personifies every bear that ever there was as a participant in an annual picnic celebration, which takes place in the woods, described as a place that is both wondrous and mysterious.

As a child, Gerald Banting spent much of his time exploring the mysteries and wonders of the woods.As an educator and an artist, his fascination

columnates into a series of drawings, paintings, and collages that combine elements of abstraction and natural observation. Banting has shared his admiration and care for the environment with his students to encourage kids and youth to spend time outdoors and care for the environment. In addition to Banting’s two-dimensional work, If You Go Down to the Woods Today will also include an installation in the Loft Gallery, made up of various objects discarded as trash in the Bowmanville Valley Conservation Area and collected by Banting as a form of conservation and artmaking.

27
