Clinton News-Record, 1985-2-20, Page 3APPLIANCE REPAIRS ti 'DNES .4' i FEBR i RY'21,1 800 N;Q*S0 and tqotzireS Arts seminar to be held in Clinton. ®� • • fel bagel Library boards anti theatre groups will be in- vited. The in-depth seminar and workshop ses- sions will look at corporate and community fund raising, marketing, promotion and special events, resources and finances available to artists through the Ontario Arts Council, the Canada Council and other organizations. The daylong seminars will feature guest speakers, workshops and exhibits. After- noon exhibits will be set up by the Ontario Arts Council, Canada Council, Ontario Craft Council, Ontario Potters Association, Ministry of Citizenship and Culture and the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation. The Stratford Clay Supply will give demonstrations of the potter's wheel and the St. Marys Children's Choir will provide special entertainment. The seminars will help teach artists and arts groups how best to promote themselves and how to finance their work. Many of the groups are small, they have no money, no facilities to offer programs. They're non-profit organizations and can't even afford rent," Ms. Scott -Booth explain- ed. She emphasized the importance of arts groups in small communities and said that the aim of the seminar would be, "to get small arts groups off their feet to support themselves. The seminar will teach people how to get money, get organized and work together." Small comrrnunity arts groups, like the Bayfield Pottery Club, allow people the op- portunity to develop their creative skills, to have fun and get involved, Ms. Scott -Booth said that such groups can also help to develop children's artistic skills with special programs. The seminar will also teach artists and arts groups how to promote themselves and market their work. Ms. Scott -Booth explain- ed, "A lot of artists are poor business peo- ple. They get lost in the countryside (in their rural studios) and don't promote themselves." She said that visual artists must decide whether they Want to isolate themselves and create new work, or develop ways to pro- mote their work. Performing artists, on the other hand, need exposure and promotion in order to succeed. Ms. Scott -Booth believes that visual and performing arts can work together. The Art Gallery at the Blyth Festival illustrates an example of two arts groups successfully combining talents. In general however, artists and arts groups still compete against each other. Ms. Scott -Booth believes that these individuals and organizations would have greater suc- cess if they worked together. The seminar will look at co-operation and networking in the arts community and Ms. Scott -Booth explained, "If they open up their area it benefits the artists. It brings people in and brings in business." Ms. Scott -Booth personally hopes that the three-day seminar will break ground for the formation of an inter -county arts associa- tion. "Bayfield has its own thing, Stratford has theirs, why not join them together," she said. Ms. Scott -Booth hopes that a networking system for the arts can be developed as a BEST RRSP RATES 101 1 Year 103 2 Years 3 Years 1178 4 Years 5 Years TRANSFERS ALSO AVAILABLE GUARANTEED TO s60,000.

Financial assistance will also be a main topic at the seminar. The Ontario Arts Coun- cil, for instance has grants available for arts organizations. As well, schools can hire pro- fessional artists to teach art courses and a major cost off the program will be subsidized by the Arts Council. "Schools in this area aren't even aware of the grants," Ms. Scott -Booth said. She noted that school art teachers would be invited to the seminar to learn more about this type of•' teaching program. Such programs, she en- thused, enhance a student's art education and utilize local professional talent. Ms. Scott -Booth says that she is encourag- ed and impressed with the exceptional quality and variety of art that is being developed in small communities. Large ur- ban centres no longer hold the market on culture and art. The April seminar promises to show the variety of talent in the four area counties. As well, it will give Clinton an unique pro- motion opportunity. Committee chairman Kevin Duguay noted that the seminar will bring more than 100 people to the communi- ty. The unique nature 'of the seminar will br- ing.special recognition and high profile to Clinton. Mr. Duguay said that the only problem area will be accommodation for the guests. He hopes that local residents will par- ticipate in a bread and breakfast accom- modation program. Anyone who may be in- terested in providing overnight rooming for seminar guests is asked to contact the Clin- ton Recreation Department, 482-3998. .

Gtintotl News-Pi:old..;:. Incorporating The Bayfield Bugle The Blyth Standard meeting. Mr. Falconer said younger trustees could have a problem getting along on the money they receive as trustees. The youngest trustee on the board, Tony McQuail, said Mr. Falconer's idea of in- creasing stipends a small amount each year instead of a large amount in one year was "sensible". However, he said he would vote against the increase because he finds the current stipend "generous". Trustees now receive $400 per month and the chairman receives $600 per month. The stipend has been at that amount since 1982. The Education Act allows the honorarium to be changed only before an election. The incoming board is not allowed to increase the honorarium, only decrease it. "In my opinion, we are receiving ade- quate compensation," said trustee John Elliott. Goderich trustee Dorothy Wallace noted that the media could play up the fact that the school board could not afford French im- mersion but could afford to give themselves a raise. A perfect setting for dreams The sparkling stones creak with laughter each time the whistling 'wind softly glides over them. At the end of stones, is a spring that captures all the sun's rays. Surrounded by trees dancing as the wind whistles. the spring, stones and anything else, make a perfect setting for anything the wild im- agination can dream up. -by Rhonda Wright Gr. 8 Clinton Public School.
