The Next Chapter: 70+ Years of The Fiddlehead Opens September 23rd

As part of its 75th anniversary celebrations, the UNB Art Centre is presenting an exhibit examining the relationship between the Art Centre and The Fiddlehead called The Next Chapter: 70+ Years of The Fiddlehead . From its inception TheF iddlehead magazines featured covers designed by the UNB Art Centre’s own Lucy Jarvis. In the 1960s Editor Kent Thompson began to feature the artwork of Marjory Donaldson and Bruno Bobak. It was Roger Ploude, a member of UNB’s English Department and editor during the 1970s, that began to use the cover as a gallery featuring the artwork of various Maritime artists, including artists like Charlotte Glencross, Angel Gomez, Stephen May, and Yvon Gallant to name only a few. The Next Chapter will feature these covers and  some of the artwork used from the UNB Art Centre’s permanent collection.

This exhibit is opening Friday, September 23rd along with a second exhibit, The Stained Glass Windows of Memorial Hall. An opening night reception will be held from 5pm-7pm in Memorial Hall, University of New Brunswick Fredericton campus and a campaign to raise funds to restore the stained glass windows will also be launched that night. If you can't make the opening night celebration, the two exhibits will run through October 28th.
