Arts CP Call to Artists - theHumm January 2020
Arts Carleton Place (ACP) is seeking artists to participate in its Spring Fine Art Show & Sale. This year’s show will be a reviewed/juried show, predominantly showcasing wall art (oil, acrylic, aquarelle, charcoal, mixed media, watercolour, pencil art, photography, etc.), but other forms of art will be considered as well. It will be held on the weekend of May 2 and 3 at the Carleton Place Canoe Club. There is no admission fee and lots of free parking.
The show can accommodate twenty-five artists. Booth sizes are either standard or large, and booth sharing is permitted for large booths only. ACP had sales of $16,000 at its last show, and this was double the previous year’s totals.
To apply as a vendor, please visit artscarletonplace.com/2020-acpfineartsale/ and complete the Expression of Interest by January 31. The reviewing committee will notify artists by February 10, at which time the registration fee will be due. Art sale payments will be taken at a central cash, with a small commission to ACP (5% on cash sales and 7.7% on square debit or credit card sales) in support of ACP’s bursary program. For details, please contact Suzanne at smdeschenes1951@gmail.com .

Dale Dunning —Still Ahead of His Time - theHumm January 2020
By Sally Hansen
Art… and Soul
Almost twenty years ago for our May 2000 issue of theHumm I asked Dale Dunning why he was a sculptor. His answer (see the back of his Trading Card) remains the same today. There is no question that he has achieved his goal of leaving a lasting visual legacy; the good news for art lovers is that Dunning persists in adding to his legacy of sculptures that are “objects of reflection and contemplation”.
Most of his works across the intervening twenty y......
Station Theatre: 2020 Celebrating 10 Years of Entertainment - theHumm January 2020
By — Katharine Coleman
We can’t believe that we’re here. It’s ten years since the Station Theatre finally opened its doors after ten years of preparation.

We will also encourage the audience to make the most ......
Recycling Clothing: What’s Next? - theHumm January 2020
By — Sue Evans
Almonte found its beginning through production of woolen textiles. The first woolen mill, Ramsey Woolen Cloth Manufacturing Company, was incorporated in 1851. Over a period of time mills were established on seven different sites. By the late 19th century Almonte was known as the “little Manchester” of Canada. These mills produced high quality textiles that were shipped to manufacturers that created beautiful woolen articles of clothing that wore well for many years. When it became possible to generat......
Out of Sight…Out of Murder - theHumm January 2020
By — Heddy Sorour
Perth’s Studio Theatre is determined to help you beat the post-holiday blahs with their production of Out of Sight… Out of Murder by Fred Carmichael — a comedy-thriller that’s bound to entertain. “It’s a comedy with no Trumpian overtones,” chuckles director Grey Masson.
This play has it all: blackouts, lightning, a haunted mansion, a bewildered author, and all the dicey characters of an Agatha Christie thriller… any one of whom could be a killer. The difference? The characters ......
A Little Light in the World - theHumm January 2020
By Angie Arendt
If you had dropped by our place for a cup of coffee or a bite to eat sometime this past month, chances are you would have found yourself in a “do you remember…” kind of conversation. Maybe it’s because the shorter days this time of year lend themselves to introspection. Maybe it’s our tendency to get contemplative (and sometimes a bit nostalgic) during the holidays; considering the what, why, where, when and how of things like hope, peace, joy and love. Or possibly it’s the turning o......
