Congratulations to k.d. lang, who received the 2023 Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards for Lifetime Artistic Achievement, Canada’s highest honor in the performing arts, from Governor General Mary Simon this weekend. The award recognizes artists for having made an indelible contribution to cultural life in Canada and around the world. The six 2023 laureates were honored at two events in Ottawa, culminating in an Awards Gala at the National Arts Centre last night. "I can’t even actually fathom being placed in the same company as the people, the artists who have influenced me so tremendously,” lang said. "Canada has such an embarrassment of riches, so many tremendous artists, and to be bestowed with this honor is unthinkable really ... So, thank you."

Last night I went with my friend to the National Arts Centre to watch the NAC orchestra perform the full score to Jurassic Park alongside the movie. She had never seen it and was under the impression it was a kids movie. Her reaction to this bit was an all-timer.

Sexypink - Outsoil - A look at Caribbean and Diasporic Artists in exile.

[Outsoil - forms in exile in the collection of the National Center for Fine Arts]

The Cnap dedicates the second "Zoom" of its collection to exiled artists, inviting curators Estelle Nabeyrat and Pedro de Llano. Discover a new artist each week!

"This selection of 20 works is based on work started in 2017 as part of the Cnap Curatorial Research Fellowship." The title is inspired by the Cnap collection’s “above ground” condition, defined as a “without walls” background, originally intended for circulation.

This survey identified an unreleased set of 26 contemporary artists (1945 to the present). Mostly exiled in France -, they have left the Latin American and Caribbean territories.

Crossing the history of the Cnap’s collection and that of its works with various sources from the social science and the history of art, “Hors-sol” initially sought to propose an updated definition of the term “exile”.

Including artists who have left authoritarian regimes, post-colonial conflict zones as well as skeptics and disappointments of the Cuban Revolution, the different forms of exile encountered range from political exile to the quest for freedom, necessary for artistic expression. The variety of artist profiles, their journeys have allowed to clarify an intersectional problem, which has enriched this research.

This selection, drawn from the corpus we have constructed, takes into account the diversity of forms of exile related to socio-political problems and translates various degrees of liberticidal pressure exerted on artists. "Hors-sol" also offers, throughout the history of the Cnap acquisitions, a unique reading of the policy of welcoming artists exiled in France. »

GULLIVER MURAL BY MEAGHAN QUINN REF-226406-1

It is Swift's best-known full-length work and a classic of English literature. Swift claimed that he wrote Gulliver's Travels "to vex the world rather than divert it".

AT THE OLD MART ON SUMMERHILL ROAD IN TRIM In July 2011 Trim Tidy Town’s all-out effort to win big in the National Tidy Towns Competition included a number of striking murals springing up around the town. One of the most colourful was a depiction of Gulliver at the old mart, which has become quite a tourist attraction. Until a few days ago I was unaware of the 30ft long mural. The painting of…

Art Sense Ep. 115: Museums of Tomorrow Roundtable

In April of this year, the Museums of Tomorrow Roundtable brought nearly two dozen museum directors from around the world together in Silicon Valley to discuss the evolving role of technology in museums. As dialogs between museum directors and technology leaders in Silicon Valley evolved, it became apparent that planning for the use of artificial intelligence had become a critical need.

On today’s episode, I’m honored to be joined by four museum executives who are an active part of these conversations about the future of museums:

Thomas P Campbell Director and CEO of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco

Seb Chan Director & CEO at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne, Australia

Amanda de la Garza Director General of Visual Arts at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City and head of its University Museum of Contemporary Art

Suhanya Raffel  Executive Director, M+ Museum in Hong Kong

National Higher Education Day

National  Higher Education Day is celebrated on June 6 every year to recognize  the importance of education in improving our lives. To excel in your  dream job, it is important to have the latest knowledge in that field,  which can be attained through higher education. Millions of young and  old people take time out on this day to make plans to get a higher  education and think about the options that they have by researching scholarships, potential career choices, and even doing a bit of job-shadowing.

History of National Higher Education Day

National  Higher Education Day was founded by Izamar Olaguez and Marcie Hronis in  2015. The main purpose behind celebrating this day is to motivate  students to pursue higher education and make college fees affordable for  all. Each year, hundreds of students and universities unite to spread  awareness about National Higher Education Day in the U.S.

The  federal government signed the Higher Education Act in 1965. The main  purpose of signing this act was to improve the higher education programs  of educational institutions in the U.S. and offer monetary assistance  to students who are unable to afford their college fees.

The  Higher Education Act was backed by both the federal and national level  governments. Individual states also developed a similar program to  support students who want to enroll in colleges and universities for  higher education. Making higher education accessible is the primary goal  of National Higher Education Day. This includes motivating and funding  students to get enrolled in an undergraduate or a postgraduate degree  program.

National Higher Education Day also initiates various  activities, which are continued all year round. It helps students get  useful information on how to get scholarships and prepare themselves  both mentally and financially for pursuing a higher education degree in  the U.S.

How to Celebrate National Higher Education Day

Raise awareness for higher education

Opt for educational counseling

Become part of an online community

Celebrate  National Higher Education Day by posting about the benefits of higher  education online and on various social media sites with the hashtag  #NationalHigherEducationDay. Moreover, you can also post interesting  pictures related to your education and your upcoming academic goals. You  can share how your school, college, or university has groomed you in  both your personal and academic life.

If  you are still unsure about your future studies then now is the perfect  time to discuss this with a trained professional. Through a professional  counselor, you can get the right type of assistance to develop your  educational plan and pick the right type of college and courses based on  your interests, skills, and abilities.

You  can join an online community on Facebook or any other social networking  site that you frequently use. You can interact with other fellow  students who are a part of a similar undergraduate or postgraduate  degree program. Through these communities, students get to share free  educational resources and help each other get paid and unpaid  internships that are specifically offered to college and university  students.

5 Facts About American Colleges That Are Worth Knowing

A quirky college club

Doctor of Amphibious Letters

World's biggest library

Girl power

5,000+ colleges

There's  a Squirrel Club at the University of Michigan with more than 400 active  members that come together annually to feed squirrels.

Kermit the frog was awarded an honorary doctorate from Southampton College.

Harvard boasts the world's biggest library with over 15.8 million items of reading material.

There are more than 60 female colleges in the U.S.

There are around 5,000 higher education institutions in the U.S.

Why we love National Higher Education Day

Employees can excel in their current fields

It gives tips for finding college scholarships

It appreciates the efforts of college students

This  day inspires those working professionals who want to advance in their  respective fields. Getting a postgraduate degree can help professionals  get familiar with the latest market trends that are in sync with their  current fields. Higher education also helps people learn interpersonal  skills that can turn them into valuable assets for their future  organizations.

Pursuing  a higher education degree requires a financial commitment. Higher  education can be rewarding for those who want to switch to a new field  or excel in their existing field of study. However, most students don't  consider going to a college or university after school due to a lack of  financial support. The good news is that there are different scholarship  programs for students that are funded by the government and private  organizations. Some of these private organizations are directly  affiliated with different colleges and universities of the country.  Students can either directly reach out to these organizations or apply  for a scholarship program through their college or university.

This  day is also celebrated to appreciate the efforts of students who are  already receiving a higher education. Education after school is not free  in the U.S. Students are required to pay their tuition fee alongside  other college expenses including conveyance and many end up accumulating  large amounts of student-loan debt.  To pay for these expenses, many students have to do part-time jobs,  which again can be quite challenging to manage alongside their studies.  This day, therefore, is a great way to appreciate the efforts of these  hardworking students and motivate them to complete their higher  education.
