SUMMARY:Revival: Printmaking in Nunavik (2014–2019)
DESCRIPTION:Revival echoes the beginnings of stonecut printing in Puvirnituq in 1961\, and bears witness to the recent resurgence of this art. Lyne Bastien and Maggie Napartuk have made this possible through traveling workshops offered in communities across Nunavik since 2014. Puvirnituq prints were simple\, unadorned depictions of animals and scenes belonging to traditional Inuit imagery. Now\, sixty years later\, Inuit artists continue to demonstrate a profound desire to keep their culture alive through this art form. Revival gives us a glimpse into the many wonders and challenges of their world. This touring exhibition is presented in collaboration with the Avataq Cultural Institute\, supported by the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec as well as the Makivik Corporation.

SUMMARY:Sébastien Gaudette – Ephemeral Language
DESCRIPTION:Sébastien Gaudette’s artistic practice centres on paper — a medium he explores through sculpture\, installation and drawing. His approach creates a graphic dialogue where the gesture leaves only the imprint of movement\, evolving gradually into increasingly complex forms. In doing so\, he challenges the materiality of paper and transforms our perception of it. Crumpled\, folded or torn\, the paper reflects the creative process and becomes the narrative thread that guides his work. \nThe exhibition unfolds like a striking mise-en-scène\, where monumental paper constructions intertwine with metal sculptures and drawings. These temporary installations are assembled directly on-site\, allowing them to integrate with the space they inhabit. The opening takes place April 17 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.\, in a joint opening with the 44.4 Mother/Artist Collective at City Hall Art Gallery.

SUMMARY:Montero\, Prokofiev & Tchaikovsky
DESCRIPTION:Three sensational female artists deliver a full evening of musical fireworks.\nGabriela Montero’s supernatural musical instinct and dexterity has made her a worldwide phenomenon.\n\nThe NAC Orchestra is delighted to welcome New Zealand guest conductor Gemma New\, who makes her NACO debut with this performance. New brings composer Salina Fisher’s beautiful composition Kintsugi to life and showcases three superlative female artists. Kintsugi is the ancient Japanese art of repairing treasured objects with gold lacquer so that cracks and scars become a beautiful reflection of battles won. Salina’s piece draws a musical parallel\, celebrating the restorative power of music and art. \nVenezuelan pianist Gabriela Montero’s skills and talent border on the mystical—she can play the classics or improvise on any musical theme her audience suggests. The NAC Orchestra is always delighted to welcome her back to Southam Hall! Tonight\, Gabriela plays Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3. This concerto is a musical supernova that is bright and beautiful\, as well as a serious workout for any pianist who takes it on. \nIn most symphonies\, the violins take centre stage throughout\, but in Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4\, every section gets a chance to shine. It’s optimistic and full of life\, despite the great composer’s struggles with his sexuality and depression.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Navigating the Economic Impact of Tariffs on the Workplace
DESCRIPTION:The imposition and announcement of tariffs on Canadian goods have caused economic upheaval and concern for many Canadians. Employers who have been or expect to be financially impacted by tariffs may be unsure about how to address the workforce changes that may be required as a result. It is important for employers to understand their options and their obligations as they guide their businesses through these uncertain times. \nJoin Veronica Blanco Sanchez in an informative seminar regarding options that may be available to employers if the economic impact of tariffs will require workforce changes\, and legal obligations related to such changes. The discussion will cover topics including the following: \n· Are there government measures that will provide impacted employers with assistance? \n· What can I do short of laying off or terminating employees? \n· What do I do if I have to lay employees off? \n· What do I do if I have to terminate employees? \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Dining with the Ambassadors
DESCRIPTION:Dining with the Ambassadors is the Rockcliffe Park Foundation’s principal fundraising event.  It is a special evening during which dinners are generously hosted at more than a dozen of the official residences of ambassadors and high commissioners who make Rockcliffe their home away from home. A unique twist on the “dinner at an official residence” format\, Dining with the Ambassadors is as much as anything else\, a celebration of neighbours. \nThe evening begins with a pre-dinner reception for all guests and hosts – the largest gathering of Rockcliffe neighbours – at the Rockcliffe Community Hall. It is only at this reception that our diplomatic neighbours and dinner hosts are revealed! Memorable dinners follow and friendships are made. Over the years\, this fundraiser has grown into a favourite neighbourhood tradition. \nFunds raised fund the Rockcliffe newsletter and RPRA events including our neighbourhood’s Heritage Walk\, Movie Night\, Rockcliffe Community Tree Day\, Speakers Program\, and the Children’s Holiday Party. Funds raised also support the Foundation’s commitment to ongoing environmental and conservation programs in Rockcliffe Park. These include water testing at the Pond\, tree planting to preserve our maturing tree canopy\, maintenance of the sports field at Rockcliffe Park Public School and Jubilee Garden\, and conservation initiatives including the data collection on Pond use so that efforts at both conservation and continued access to the Pond can be maintained.
