Big changes for Arbor Gallery
DIANE HUNTER diane.hunter@eap.on.ca
Vankleek Hill’s Arbor Gallery is going through some changes. The name will be changed from The Arbor Gallery Centre for Contemporary Art toThe Arbor Gallery Cultural Centre. But it’s not only the name that’s changing. So what does a cultural centre do? Marx said the gallery will be adding several events including music, theatre, and much more. “It’s not just about changing the name,” explained Marx. “It’s about making it so- mething different. We will have authors do readings, small theatre, music, more classes, and a much wider range of art exhibits, not putting somuch of an emphasis on contem- porary art, but more reflective of the com- munity.” Marx said the small casual setting has more of an intimate setting giving way to a relaxing evening. “The idea is to line up as manymusicians as possible,” saidMarx. “We want to set up the gallery cabaret style. It is my new favourite way to listen to music.” Marx said the gallery is in the planning stages of hosting a Murder Mystery in April which would include a dinner, and she is hoping to have a better partnership with the students at Vankleek Hill Collegiate Institute (VCI) having themmore involved in certain events throughout the year. “I’d like to see something kids are in charge of,” explained Marx, “perhaps a brief exhibit of their work. It will feed the artistic spirit of the kids while serving the community. The possibility of bringing some of these events into the gallery inspires me.” Marx said the gallery is looking for new volunteers mainly in fundraising and pro- gramming. “We also need people that are willing to promote the gallery, make food, set up and clean up, and willing to participate when we do fund raisers. The gallery needs to stay open. We need volunteers who would ideally volunteer one day a month for four hours. If people have an interest in becoming involved in the gallery, we’re wide open.”

n’est pas un carcan, mais plutôt une vision globale pour l’avenir de l’établissement et sa promotion, et sera un outil utile pour le conseil et la coordonnatrice Emma Calvert qui veulent accroître la visibilité du lieu historique, la plus ancienne prison de la province. « Nous avons compris que la promotion de la prison passe par des événements d’envergure, comme la prison hantée à l’Halloween où 2000 personnes sont venues en six heures, a rajouté Louise Bédard. En 2016, la pièce la Dernière pendaison sera de retour, tout comme la prison hantée, et une exposition sur le front domestique fera suite à celle sur la guerre. Nous travaillons aussi sur un projet, celui de l’historique de la prison pour 2017, car il faut continuer à promouvoir l’importance historique de l’endroit. Les gens connaissent la prison, mais par nécessairement toute son histoire. »
L’Ancienne prison de L’Orignal a reçu une subvention de 3000 $ du Programme de développement économique des collectivités rurales pour l’élaboration de son plan demarketing de cinq ans, réalisé en 2015. « C’est une stratégie de mise en marché pour la promotion des événements et du patrimoine de l’Ancienne prison, a indiqué la présidente du conseil d’administration, Louise Bédard. Avec l’aide d’un consultant, nous avons réalisé un plan d’affaires et nous avons aussi apporté des améliorations à nos locaux (peinture, etc.) et cela va nous permette de savoir où nous nous en allons. » Pour recevoir la subvention de 3000 $, l’Ancienne prison a investi une somme similaire dans ses actions et le plan, qui
Start your year off right! As the New Year starts, one resolution may be to eat healthier in 2016. A practical way to achieve this is simply to integrate more fruits and vegetables into a daily diet. The Green Food Box is a non-profit program that makes it easier to get affordable fresh fruits and vegetables. The program offers clients quality produce at an affordable price by bringing together neighbouring communities to purchase in bulk from trustworthy and mostly local suppliers at a wholesale price. While the produce found in the Green Food Box varies from month to month, it usually includes staples such as lettuce, potatoes, carrots and apples, as well as seasonal favourites like oranges, kiwis, cucum- bers and squash. There are two sizes available, the regular Green Food Box, which offers clients seasonal fruits and vegetables with an emphasis on staples like potatoes and apples, while the “Variety” Green Food Box contains a greater variety of seasonal and unique fruits and vegetables. The “Variety” Green Food Box is only available at Cornwall and Hawkesbury locations. Orders and pick-ups for the Green Food Box can be done at one of the locations listed on the program’s web- site at www.greenfoodbox.ca. – Diane Hunter
