Up Here reveals their full musical and mural programming

Sudbury’s favourite new urban art and music festival is back for its third edition from Aug. 18-20 in Downtown Sudbury.

Up Here is a public art festival that culminates in an emerging music festival with a tight integration of art installations throughout the city’s core. This year, two muralists and 12 local artists will create 14 new pieces of public art in the weeks leading up to the festival, and 30 of Canada’s best up-and-coming musical acts will perform in over 10 venues during the three-day event.

Two New Murals

Acclaimed Canadian artist Jarus will paint a portrait of a miner as an homage to his grandfather, who was a miner in Sudbury in the ‘60s and ‘70s, thanks to the support of Becker Mining Systems. Originally from Field, Franco-Ontarian Métis artist Mique Michelle will create a colourful piece inspired by her Anishinaabe roots thanks to the support of Collège Boréal.

Power Up Project

New this year, Up Here has formed a partnership with the Social Planning Council and Greater Sudbury Utilities to bring colour to 24 electrical utility boxes within the downtown core. In total, the Power Up Project will give canvasses to 24 local artists, including 12 curated by Up Here and 12 from youth organizations partnering with the Social Planning Council. The local artists invited by Up Here are Kallie Berens-Firth, Sonia Ekiyor-Katimi, Melanie Gail St-Pierre, Madison Kotyluk, Bianca Lefebvre, Matti Lehtelä, Scott Minor, Maty Ralph, Wild Rice, Hobby Rollin, Julianne Steedman, Dani Taillefer, and Isaac Weber.

“This project is a win-win for all of us. We get to empower youth, support the emerging local arts community, and participate in a global project that has swept cities across the globe from Brisbane to Los Angeles and Calgary. We’re excited to get this pilot project off the ground,” said Wendy Watson, director of communications, Greater Sudbury Utilities.

This project is made possible in part thanks to the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

Over 30 Shows By Emerging Artists

Up Here is once again curating an ambitious musical program that cultivates the event’s signature sense of curiosity and discovery in festival goers. Over 30 up-and-coming artists will be performing in Sudbury during the event.

The Northern Series presented by Porter Airlines is back this year offering free concerts by emerging  musicians from Northern Ontario in small downtown venues between 5 and 7 p.m. Discover the ghost-tinged folk of Jennifer Holub, smoky reflections of Brian Dunn, indie-pop loops of Jamie Gia, and the jack-in-the-box dance music of BBBRTHR.

Friday Aug. 18

Friday’s acts include the eclectic and experimental Whoop-Szo, moog rockers Duchess Says, and unruly pop icons Deerhoof. 

Late night lineups include bubble-glam punks Fashionism and iconic garage rockers The Fleshtones at the Townehouse Tavern, presented by Stack Brewing, and noise dancers Eyeballs, mystic crooner Bernardino Femminielli, and the molecular pop duo Ice Cream at Little Montreal.

Saturday Aug. 19

Saturday’s Family Day returns with enhanced programming in Memorial Park and all around Downtown Sudbury. Taking the stage on Family Day: Sudbury’s own pop rockers Tofino, punk rockers The Ape-ettes, the Sudbury-born, female beatbox champion Sparx, and Mozambican electro-pop artist Samito will be sure to keep things cool on a warm day. 

Memorial Park will serve as the central playground with music, mini-murals, and other exciting children’s activities provided by the Carrefour francophone; vendors by local artists, artisans set up by Makers North, a gallery tour with the Downtown Sudbury Art Crawl; and a performance of Cello Steps, an interactive project that combines contemporary dance with classic music in a dance mob.

Later, younger audiences can also look forward to an all-ages punk show at Zigs presented by Ottawa Explosion featuring up-and-coming Sudbury punks Kommissars, Ottawa’s absurdo-punks DJ Smoke Weed Guy, Ottawa’s queer hardcore-punks Doxx, and the protopunk baristas Teenanger.

The Saturday night show begins with indie-electro purveyors Fevers, followed by feminist force Lido Pimienta, and the culture-clashing, noh-wave opera group Yamantaka // Sonic Titan. 

Nighthawks can head to the Townehouse and Zig’s after for late shows. The Townehouse features the riffs and thrifts of Dirty Princes, the quirky power pop of Dany Laj and the Looks, and a command performance by The Fleshtones presented by Stack Brewing. 

Meanwhile, Zig’s features local ‘90s dance inspired trio Telecolor and the smooth beats of Montreal based electronic artist CRi. 

Finally, late-night festival goers will be swayed by the exposed voice of Michele Nox backed by raw guitar and transcendent electronic swells.

Pop-Up Shows

The pop-up concerts have quickly become part of the festival’s nature and there will be many more this year thanks to the support of Downtown Sudbury. Festival goers will want to download the official Up Here app to make sure they don’t miss out on spontaneous shows on rooftops, underground chambers, and other unexpected locations. One of the groups that festival goers can expect to see pop up somewhere is DF, an audiovisual duo that merges looping saxophones with beautiful sound activated light installations

Sunday, Aug. 20

On Sunday afternoon, Dear Criminals, the indie-pop group from Montreal, will present 2GPU, a stunning augmented reality concert with 3D projections. The audience is invited to immerse themselves into the musical world of Dear Criminals with the help of complex imagery generated in real-time stereoscopic 3D. The project was developed by David Paquin and the New Media team at the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue and is presented by the FME (Emerging Music Festival from Rouyn-Noranda).

Dear Criminals is two voices, one intense and strong, and one vulnerable and fragile, complementing each other in a unique and touching way. This vocal mixture is blended in a textured soundscape created by spellbinding arrangements and wisely chosen instrumentation, creating a musical tone deeply inspired by James Blake, Timber Timbre, and Elysian Fields.

What to Look for When Renting Secure Storage Units in Ontario

Searching the web for local secure self-storage units is an excellent idea. Most storage facilities offer 24/7 surveillance, making it complicated to choose the right one. These days, self-storage units have installed highly advanced security features to decrease crime. In fact, these features are essential. However, the rental rates may be higher for advanced security units, but it is worth the investment.

In addition, numerous factors need to be taken into consideration when finding an ideal place to keep your belongings safe. Let’s discuss what to look for when finding secure storage units in Ontario.

The list of features starts here:

Video Camera Facilities  

Video surveillance is the most imperative feature that your storage unit should have. Cameras all around the property play a major role in maintaining the safety inside and outside the premises. Video surveillance comes handy to identify thieves after a crime is committed as well. The cameras work as evidence when something goes wrong with your belongings.

 Cameras are extremely essential to maintain the safety standards at private storage units. Nowadays, a number of facilities have installed video surveillance as a safety feature. Video surveillance is one of the most advanced safety features that keeps your items safe. Choosing a storage unit with modern technology video surveillance is a wise decision.

1. Gates and Fencing    

Another useful and remarkable feature for a storage unit is fencing around the property. Fencing is an appropriate safety measure to keep the entire area safe from theft. Nobody can enter the premises until given access. However, the alarming units can easily discover any unfamiliar person trying to enter the restricted area. Proper fencing is one of the basic features offered by secure storage units in Ontario.  

Most of the modern storage units have electronic gates for access. You have to punch in the given access card or passcode to enter the premises. It is one of the best methods to identify the person entering at any time. The electronic entry gates do not open until one enters the unique code or swipes the security card. People are given a card or code to access their belongings at all times. The card has a unique identification number with complete details of the person. One cannot enter the premises if the card details don’t match.

1. Weather Control System

Your belongings may be sensitive to higher or lower temperatures. So, it would be great to choose a storage unit with a temperature control system. Most of the storage units have high, normal, and cool temperature facilities to keep your belongings in good condition.  Storing your valuable essentials in the temperature controlled environment is a wise decision. It will reduce the damage to your items in case the belongings are temperature sensitive.

Some people store their belongings for a longer time. With time, the items might get experience rusting or corrosion.  It generally happens if the things are stored in standard storage units. A number of storage units in Ontario have climate controlled systems to a set temperature as required.

2. Emergency Alert Units

Installing alarms and sensors around the entire premises is an ultimate safety feature. And, most of the secure storage facilities in Ontario have emergency alert units to keep things safe. However, choosing the right one with all the necessary security features would assist greatly. The emergency alert system safeguards the property from unfamiliar persons. The alarms will sound if any person tries to pass the fencing or gates.

It is a highly effective way to protect your belongings from theft and burglary. No one without an access card or security code can enter the premises without permission. However, if someone tries to break in, the alarms will alert all the security professionals in the area. The experts can take appropriate actions if the area is totally secured with alarming units.

Opting for storage units with advanced alert systems is your best bet. The experts know how to keep your belongings safe and secure from thieves. Moreover, some of the facilities offer insurance as well. You can keep things insured to minimize the hassle if in case any mishap occurs. Some units cover the insurance in the rent while some ask for a little extra.

Final Words

There you have it! These are the top factors to consider when looking for secure storage units in Ontario.
