Sticks & Stones: Toys Without Commerce - Rebecca Soudant

Sticks and Stones: Toys without Commerce
by rebecca soudant

Reception: Thursday, February 12, 2009, 7pm-8:30pm

Exhibit runs from February 6 to February 28, 2009

This is an exhibit of simple materials that can be the building blocks for great toys. Materials might include popsicle sticks, sticks, re-cycled material, stones, elastics, recycled paper.. with the final product being something that comes without a brand name and rather authored by its creator. There may be an ownership of creation and a satisfaction of construction that may not exist as readily with fabricated materials that are often dumbed down for their young customers.

The Artel is looking for volunteers!

Want to lend a hand and have a reason to hang around more often?
There are lots of ways to get involved with The Artel. Three of the most popular are:

Gallery Sitting - when an exhibit is up in the gallery, we’d love extra help watching the space and greeting visitors. Shifts range from 2.5 to 5 hours, Thurs - Sun.
Event Hosting - from time to time our concerts, screenings and other events require some extra help with hospitality. Often this can get you in free to the show, which is a great perk.
Postering - like to walk or bike around town? How about putting up some Artel posters while you get your daily exercise? Also, a great way to stay informed on what else Kingston has to offer.

Perks for volunteering include: good karma, an extended family of artist friends, occasional discounts to selected events!

How: Just send an email to the.artel@gmail.com to learn more about what volunteering opportunities are coming up.
