'Linked'
Rails End Gallery & Arts Centre presents “Linked”, an exhibition of work by students in the Fleming College Visual and Creative Arts Diploma Class.
“Linked” gives insight into the progressive nature of student work that is at turns playful, pensive and sometimes challenging to get a handle on — and that’s ok! This is the second year in a row the Rails End has presented a peek at the inner world of VCAD.
The show runs from February 27 until March 17. You can meet the artists at a reception on Thurday, March 11 from 5-7 or stop by the Gallery Wednesday through Saturday from 11-5. For upcoming events at the Rails End visit www.railsendgallery.com.
Four thousand-two hundred trees will be planted throughout Haliburton County through the partnership of Patient News Publishing with Haliburton Highlands Stewardship Council through the Council’s Tree Planting Program. Patient News Publishing…is committed to environmental stewardship in all facets of their business operations. In addition to their current use of 100% FSC certified paper, Patient News Publishing has made a further commitment to planting trees with HHSC. The Haliburton Highlands Stewardship Council, a community organization comprised of generous local volunteers, dedicate themselves throughout the year to promote and support responsible stewardship of natural resources in Haliburton County, and deliver programs such as the Tree Planting Program.
The Tree Planting Program is designed for Haliburton landowners who are interested in reforesting their properties, restoring or enhancing biodiversity, preventing shoreline erosion, or simply creating wildlife habitat in their woodlots and shorelines with trees native to Haliburton’s seed zone. Patient News Publishing, in a generous effort to contribute to the stewardship of Haliburton’s natural resources while offsetting their environmental costs, is – in addition to planting trees – subsidizing 50% of every landowner’s tree order!
If you would like more information, or would like to apply by the deadline of March 15th, please contact Tracey with the Stewardship Council at 705-286-5205 or or hhsc.intern@gmail.com or to download the application online visit www.ontariostewardship.org/haliburton.
