The first princess this year is Jodi Coulter, and the second princess is Kari Allen. ‘Artists band together _ Lett But end looms for gallery A new artists’ co-op in town threatens to go under as quick- ly as it started, The gallery -- Red Raven Arts in the Skeena Mall -- has been providing a forum for lo- cal artists to display and sell their work commission-free since Irene Horner moved her paintings into the space Mar. 11. "We've just had word tha we'll have to be out in two weeks," Horner says. "As of now we don’t have any other place to go." Red Raven got ils start when mall manager Lynda Bretfeld offered Horner the vacant space for free. By the time the gallery held its grand opening last Friday it boasted a total af 27 local ex- hibiiors. The artists each pay $20, which covers the cost of hydro and coffee and donuts. "I don’t think anything like this has ever happened be- fore," Horner says. "This gal- lery has inspired people who couldn’t do a one-man show. -"The thing about this place is that people can bring in one or two pieces, and still keep the prices down -- there’s no com- mission.” a "We've just had word that we'll have to be out in two weeks. As of now we don’t have any other place ta go.” The shop gives Terrace resi- dents and visitors a. chance to see a Wide range of Jocal art in. the same room. Some. local artists, such as Claude Rioux, despite obvious talent, have never before displayed their works, _ "This is’ really-nice," said Rioux, -a. stained glass artist. pid lik MISS TERRACE '92 Crowning night's tears and magic Amid tears and hugs of joy, the Miss Terrace pageant royalty of years gone by lined up Saturday nigh( to pass on their experience to the city’s newest ambassador -- Dana Johanson, She was joined on stage by first princess Jodi Coulter -- who was also crowned Miss Personality and received the Judges’ Award -- and second princess Kari Allen. Johanson, a 17-year-old Caledonia senior, was also named most effective speaker, and Angela Parmar was named Miss Talent. Spectators were treated to an elaborate talent show that show- cascd everything from the en- chanting T’ai Chi demonstration of Angela Parmar to the haunting flute of Tosh Morris. In her own performance, Johanson showed off her acting ability by Jampooning — the stereatypical image of the "dumb blonde" in her Beach Boys surfer era version of Romeo and Juliet. Politics touched the evening when Miss Terrace 1991 -- Shel- ley O’Brien -- recounted how she was snubbed in the legislature by (the now infamous Liberal MLA Clive Tanner, who would nt permit her introduction. HP ART FANS got a chance te check out some previously unknown lacal talent last week with the grand opening of the Red Raven Arts gallery in the Skeena Mall, The carvings below are by Valeria Moore, a Kitwanga artist who studies at K’san. People interested in seeing the works of the local "We should have had this a long time ago. It will be very good for the people of Ter- race." He says he’s never tried to sell his paintings before be- cause the cost of commission would have forced him to set his prices too high. However, at Red Raven Arts, he has sold quite a few pieces, "My house looks quite bare now," he said. Work on display there in- cludes paintings by Terrace resident Jim Faber, Indian head carvings by Stan Dutoff of Kitimat, and masks and jackets by Valerie Moore of Kitwanga. Artists heard about the gal- lery by word of mouth. For many. artists, it was the first time they had met each other. “I’m impressed by the vari- ety here," said_—s Elaine Sicphens, a Terrace resident _who stopped in to look around in the gallery, "I-think (the arlisis) need something like this." _ But the space is now being “rented out as office space, and the new gallery will close May 25 unless the artists can find another venue. wr artists should make plans to go before May 25, since the gallery must move or close by then. There were also reminders throughout the evening that the Miss Terrace pageant will never be the same again. Because of a move to open the event up to males as well, there is the possibility that Johanson could be handing her crown over to a young man next year, As he introduced the evening gown modelling portion of the show, MC Doug Thompson pointed out the dilemma. "What are We going to call it next year?" he asked. "Just a thought.” The Miss Canada pageant died a quiet death last year, and this year Miss PNE organizers an- nounced their pageant would be- come a "youth ambassador" event open to both sexes. Miss Terrace organizers say they must follow suit in order to send their-royalty on to the Miss PNE event. Pageant committee chairman Crispina Cote said a name for next year’s event hasn’t been de- cided upon. ; “We've got an open mind," she said, adding that events restricted to just one sex are becoming too controversial. "It should be open to everybody." Contributed The award-winning Terrace Little Theatre production Living Together is getting ready to hit the road for the provincial drama festival on June 11. The play, directed by Ken Morton, is to represent the Skeena region at the festival in Campbell River. After last year’s highly ac- claimed A Chip in the Sugar won Runner-up to Best Play in the 1991 provincial finals, director Morton is eager to show the provincial audience another example of TLT’s productions. But there’s a hitch -- money. "The TLT has been very generous with financial sup- port, and Theatre B.C. also helps us," Morton says, “but the bottom line is that each of us will be out of pocket and for some that is a problem." Two of the actors -- Ray Mordan and Marianne Brorup- Weston -- came up with the "Friends of the Festival” campaign as a way of raising money for the tour. "We hope to raise enough monies that we can create an on-going fund for groups in our region travelling to provincial festivals," says Mordan. "We hope our com- munity will support us." First on the agenda is a three-night benefit run of Living Together from May 27- 29. Admission is by a $10 minimum donation. "Many folks missed our last run, even though we held it over an extra weekend, and others would like to see the show again," added Weston. "It’s a real crowd-pleaser." This production will be even better, according to Morton, because a professional director from Vancouver is coming to Terrace to workshop the play prior to the performance.
