WHAT: I need YOUR help! I am looking for a list of your ‘emotional
baggage’ that you carry with you…it can be from your past, past
relationships, current relationships, friends, family - whatever as
long as you don’t name names and keep it anonymous.

WHY: I am creating an artwork that will be in a work of art in the
exhibition NO FIXED ADDRESS….part of suitcase art galleries, a DDJV
Art Project (collaboration of Hamilton Artists Jessica Vellenga and
Douglas Drake).

ABOUT: MY list of emotional baggage along with yours will be used to
decorate the suitcase. I need the list or issues to be completely
anonymous, that way no one gets hurt and you get to vent guilt free.
Basically this suitcase is literally a way to get rid of your ‘excess
baggage’ metaphorically and allow others to empathize with general
issues that may affect them too, allowing the viewer some sense of
consolation that they are not alone with their problems.

For more information or to email a list please contact Jessica

The Confederation Centre Art Gallery and Prince Edward Island National
Park invite applicants for a five week residency program at their
National Park site in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island. The residency
will take place from July 9th to August 17th, 2007

Artists of various disciplines including painting, drawing, mixed
media, and sculpture are encouraged to apply. Individuals applying
for this residency should be interested in exploring environmental
issues in their own practice as well as enjoy engaging with the public
due to the location of the studio.

The artist will be provided with a studio in Prince Edward Island
National Park, which will include shared accommodations in a nearby
house. Artists will receive an honorarium and a modest budget for
materials and supplies. The artist will have access to a bicycle;
however, it is recommended that artists have the use of a car due to
the rural setting of the residency.

Interested applications should send curriculum vitae, letter of
intent, and twenty digital images by April 6th to:

Jon Tupper, Director, Confederation Centre Art Gallery
145 Richmond Street, Charlottetown, PE C1A 1J1

About the location:

Prince Edward Island National Park was established in 1937 and now
protects the Maritime Plain Natural Region. The park features
dune-edged beaches, barrier sand spits, forested till uplands,
barachois ponds and salt marshes. The Cavendish site located on the
north shore of Prince Edward Island offers many historical and
cultural resources including Green Gables. Facilities available in
the park for visitors include: campgrounds, picnic areas, hiking
trails, supervised swimming areas, and a golf course. During the
summer a variety of interpretive events are offered in different
locations in the park, including guided beach walks, campfire
programs, and outdoor theatre programs. Cycling is a popular activity
on the Homestead Trail in Cavendish. The National Park is also an
excellent site for bird-watching; the park participates in the
recovery program for the endangered piping plover. Parks Canada’s
main priority is to protect the ecological integrity of the park
through ecosystem management. Each year a variety of research projects
are carried out in the park, inventories are conducted and regular
monitoring is done to record data on the different habitats in the
park. For more information on Prince Edward Island National Park,
