Art board injects hope

by Diana English”

Despite the fact that the past year
was a precarious one for the Ter-
race Art Association and the Pub-
lic Art Gallery, it now appears that
the gallery will continue, stronger
than ever, with new commitments
from people who won’t stand to
see the facility fold for good.

The art association went through
a complete board change last Sep-
tember and spent most of the year
attempting to get city funding so
the gallery could stay open. After
many delays the city refused. the
funding request. The city did give
additional money to the Terace
and District Arts Council with the
recommendation that the art asso-
ciation apply there for money to
operate the gallery. A funding
request is currently before the Arts
Council, but the association will
also be pursuing funding from
alternative sources.

During the recent Terrace Art
Association annual general meet-
ing, president Vikki MacKay pre-
dicted the coming year will be
interesting, a year of transition.

Most of the current board mem-
bers have now accepted the nomi-
nation to serve for another year.
MacKay will remain as president,

‘and Jane Dickson will continue as

secretary and Diane Myhr as treas-
urer. Unfilled are the positions of
vice president, a voted position,

‘Music Festival underway

Planning for the 1992 Pacific
Northwest Music Festival is well
underway. The syllabus and selec-
tion committees were busy during
the summer, and the syllabus is
now available at Sight & Sound
stores in Terrace, Kitimat and
Prince Rupert, and the Terrace
Public Library. It can also be
obtained by writing to: The Secre-

tary, PNWMF, Box 456, Terrace, ©

B.C., V8G 4B5.

The syllabus contains advice for
competitors and the rules govern-
ing the Festival, which should be

The Godfather — Part I]
Starring Al Pacino, Andy Garcia.

pola, Rating: R. Running time:
170 minutes.

Michael Corleone (Pacino), head
of the powerful Corleone family,
has been struggling for years to
sever his family's ties with orga-
nized crime and make them
respectable. Now in his 60's
Michael, is ready to choose a suc-
cessor and retire.

The obvious choice would scem

‘io be his hothcaded nephew, Vin-

cent (Garcia), but Michacl worrics
that Vincent will drag the family

and gallery coordinator, an
appointed position. Joanne Thom-
son will continue as publicity
coordinator.

The association is considering a
reorganization of their board of
directors. The new system ‘would
see a board of eight to 10 mem-
bers to manage the gallery, taking
pressure off current board mem-.
bers and allowing people with
experience and knowledge to sit on
the board as directors at large,
lending their talents, ideas and
input to the decision-making pro-
cess. As it stands now, MacKay
says, three or four people are
making the decisions that affect
the future of the gallery, and more
input is needed.

People interested in serving on
the board are asked to contact the
art gallery at 638-8884 or Vikki
MacKay at 635-4809. The board
will probably be appointed at the
next meeting. The time of that

‘Meeting will be Oct. 28, 7:30 p.m.

Mary Alice Neilly has recently
been hired as part time gallery
attendant. Neilly’s functions con-
sist of coordinating volunteers and
carrying out administrative duties.

Due to other commitments she will

not actually commence being on
duty at the gallery until November.

Also present at the meeting was
architect Alan Soutar, displaying
the plans and model of the pro-

read carefully by all competitors Flo Euverman, corresponding sec-

and their teachers.
Classes open for competition this

year are piano, vocal, choral, in-

strumental, band, dance, and
speech arts.

The Festival will be held from
March 30 to April 11, 1992, and
the entry closing date is January
10, 1992.

Members of the executive for the
1992 Festival are president Mari-
lyn Kerr, past president Norah

posed expansions to the library
complex. As the gallery is located

in the library building, MacKay "|

said the association will be work-
ing with the library board, the city

and the architects to determine the

gallery’s needs in. the proposed
library expansion plans.

The plans for expansion to the
library include expansion and
enhancement of the art gallery
facilities. The plans would see
entry from the main lobby instead
of a separate entrance, wheel chair
access, which. is now close to
impossible, and an arts and crafts
studio with running water and
natural light. According to Mac-
Kay, the studio could be used to
hold seminars and courses as. a
source of income for the associ-
ation. The plans also include air
conditioning which would bring
the gallery up to standard gallery
criteria. The actual expansion
would be only 500 square feet, but
most of the changes would be
reorganization of current space.

shows through to October 1992.

Terrace Review —— Wednesday, October 23, 1991 19

Loreena McKennitt: Harpist

Terrace is on the list of 35
Canadian communities being
visited by Celtic musician
Loreena McKennitt.

McKennitt played Terrace two
years ago, developing an instant,
large and dedicated following
here. Her 1991 tour will
coincide with the release of her
fourth album, The Visit.

The Visit is different from
McKennitt’s previous work,
representing not so much a de-
parture from the Celtic-based
harp and vocal work that capti-
vated her initial audiences as a
deeper exploration of Celtic
cultural roots. She goés back-

ward in time to the wider foun- .

dation of the Celts, using both
the Celtic harp and Irish pipes,
along with some traditional
Middle Eastern and East Indian
instruments, all serving some-
times in the foreground and
sometimes as a backdrop for her
haunting voice.

McKennitt will .be accom-
panied on the Terrace date by
guitarist Brian Hughes, Anne
Bourne on cello and Keyboards,
percussionist Rick Lazar and
Tom Hazlitt on double bass. The
performance is scheduled for
Nov. 30 at the R.E.M. Lee The-
atre.
