This Friday at Saint Mary’s Boat Club, we’ll know the first recipient of The Mayor’s Emerging Artist Award–will this be Peter Kelly’s last big handshake???–which will be presented at Visual Arts Nova Scotia’s fundraiser, along with several other prizes. The fundraiser sounds like hands-on fun: a collaborative night spent painting and drawing a large spontaneous art piece, inspired by a literary passage. The finished work will be on display at NSCC’s Dartmouth campus, and then it moves to the airport until next October. To get your hands dirty, call 423-4694. $15members/$35non.
