I have learned so much about William Ford Coaker’s legacy. I had a chance to tour the restored Factory building, with its period woodworking machinery and the array of presses and equipment used by the union paper, The Fishermen’s Advocate. What a discovery that was!
In the evening Rising Tide Theatre (www.risingtidetheater.com) gave an outstanding performance that brought to life the historic events of early 20th century; establishment of the Fishermen’s Union, First in North America Union Electric Company, impact of World War I and tragic life and death of William Coaker. I was moved by the passionate performance of the theatre troupe that made me cry and laugh.
Trade Show will be held on September 25th & 26th at the Clarenville Stadium

Artspace on the Mezzanine Bowmanville Branch of the Clarington Public Library
Through July, Anastasia Tiller’s Tapestry of Sentiment is featured at ‘Artspace on the Mezzanine’ at the Bowmanville branch of the Clarington Public Library. Moving to Canada eight years ago from Moscow where she earned her Masters Degree in International Commercial Law, Tiller most enjoys experimenting with different mediums, different textures and different styles. Mixed media, such as her woven images featured at ‘Artspace on the Mezzanine’ wherein she weaves artefacts from her many travels, allow her freedom of expression, more room to be inventive and to be truthful in her art. Tiller writes in her artist’s statement: “Modern Art is my inspiration. I feel that in this century, borders dividing different art forms are broken. More often, you could see merging and mixture of different art forms. We are in this exciting age of complete freedom of expression where everything is possible…. Modern Art is a fiesta of ideas. The age of technology influenced art immensely [and] I am extremely curious to see what lies ahead and am glad to have such a large spectrum of sources available to me to create art.” The exhibition runs from July 1 to July 31.
