Welcome to the Canadian Federation of Poets - Burlington Federation A Federation is a local group that is run by members of the CFP. It is a nice way to meet other poets, share, and learn. We hold events quarterly in conjunction with an art appreciation done at the Burlington Art Centre. Each quarter there is a gallery showing at the BAC, and you are invited to tour the exhibit, and write about it. We will then meet to present our work. Burlington Art Centre 1333 Lakeshore Rd. Burlington, ON L7S 1A9 Phone: 905.632.7796 Anyone is welcome to attend and participate in these events! Calendar for 2006/07: Events start at 2:00pm Past Events and works:
Kimiko Koyanagi Exhibit takes place from December 4, 2005 – February 6, 2006 Curators: Dawn White Beatty Kimiko Koyanagi continues her family's doll-making tradition in this exhibition of her dolls. Her graceful sculptures, composed of a sculptural medium of paste, rice paper and wood shavings, then carved, sanded and painted, have moved beyond traditional Japanese-style archetypes and are unique and personal expressions. A third generation doll-maker, she continues to extend an old and honoured craft. AIC Gallery Domestica (3 artists with colour/pattern on painted furniture, quilts and ceramics) Exhibit takes place from February 24th-April 2nd, 2006 Curator: Dawn White Beatty Major Event Sunday September 4th, 2005 from 12:00 - 5:00pm Great Outdoors Poetry Festival Gallery event: S.S.#12 by Elizabeth Barrett Milner and Clive Tucker Courtyard exhibition Located at: 1333 Lakeshore Road at Brock, Burlington, Ontario Sunday afternoon, from 1:00pm - 4:00pm Gallery event: Essence of Place Located at: 1333 Lakeshore Road at Brock, Burlington, Ontario Sunday afternoon, from 1:30pm - 4:00pm Exhibit: Essence of Place These are artists for whom the Niagara Escarpment in particular and nature in general have been significant sources for their artistic production. Their sense of the escarpment … its magnificence and munificence … offers layers of imagery and interpretation. The energy, entanglement, density, fecundity, and relentless succession within nature are represented within these artists' works. AIC Gallery Artists: Jim Reid, Glen Williams, Dawn White Beatty, Waterdown, Ursula Reese, Bobcaygeon, Rosemary Simpson, Milton, & Mary Toplack, Dundas Reminder: Sunday April 3rd, 2005 at 2:00pm is the artists talk. Gain insight for your work Join the Canadian Federation of Poets in the AIC Gallery as poets and writers present their work about the exhibit. This will be an enjoyable afternoon of inspiration and artistry. From December 4th to February 6th the Burlington Art Centre, AIC Gallery will feature Artists: Julie Aubin and Darlene Benner with a theme called Flora: Fragile Habitats Declining Ecosystems. These strong visual structures portray 50 of the current 65 endangered plant life from our own regions. Exquisite beauty and history in every sculpture, surrounded by the sacred words of affected poets and mankind. Not sure, then check out the CFP benefits.
