Cultural Floe: Modern

Varley Art Gallery
216 Main Street Unionville map
Curated by: Dr. Anna Hudson
This exhibition will juxtapose sculpture and
drawing produced at the beginning and (arguably) end of the
ethnically defined field of Inuit modern art. During the 1950s an
international market developed for carving produced in the regions
now known as Nunavut and Nunavik. Sixty years later, following
significant attainments in Aboriginal self-governance, current
Inuit art now flows into an expansive international contemporary
art practice. In this new context, individual artists are
celebrated as witnesses to a new global reality. Inuit traditional
knowledge privileges the expression of personal experience over
received information. The subjective views of life captured in
these sculptures and drawings advance the continuity of an inuit
way of being in the world and offer a template of cultural
influence on contemporary culture. Among the artists featured are:
Shuvinai Ashoona, Tim Pitsiulak, William Noah, and Idris
Moss-Davies.

Located in the heart of downtown Markham Village
at Robinson Street and Main Street Markham North, the Farmers’
Market captures the good old traditions of the past. The
"turn of the century" look of the market is enhanced by
a charming venue, complete with old-fashioned signs and canopies. Main
Street Markham Farmers' Market is held on Saturday mornings from
early Spring to mid-Autumn from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Specializing
in farm fresh fruits and vegetables, and featuring pies, pastries,
organic bread, homemade jams and sauces, the Market also offers
honey, smoked meats, natural soaps and other products.
The Main Street Markham Farmers' Market, a member of Farmers’
Markets of Ontario’s Greenbelt, won the annual Foodland Ontario
and Farmers' Markets Ontario award at the 2004 Ontario Fruit &
Vegetable Convention.
The enjoyment of the Farmers’ Market extends
beyond choosing from the many great products. There is also weekly
entertainment, with a different act every Saturday all through the
Market season. Musical genres range from folk to jazz.

Good Neighbour Day
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010
10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Location: Tim Clark's Flowers
97 Main St. N
SHOW LOVED ONES HOW MUCH THEY REALLY MEAN ON GOOD NEIGHBOUR DAY
Residents of Markham will have a unique opportunity to show the people they love how much they really mean. On September 8, 2010 Tim Clark’s Flowers and The Centre for Dreams will be hosting their 5th Annual Good Neighbour Day at 97 Main St. Markham North.
Beginning at 10:00 a.m., Tim Clark’s Flowers at 97 Main Street Markham N. and The Centre for Dreams have partnered together to make this year’s Good Neighbour Day a memorable one. They will be giving away bunches of a dozen roses to anyone who visits the shop with a minimum donation of $10, while supplies last. The proceeds will benefit The Centre for Dreams. There is one catch however, anyone who picks up a dozen roses will be asked to keep one of the flowers for themselves and give the others away to 11 different people spreading goodwill and friendship in the community.
“There is nothing greater than giving someone flowers to show your appreciation,” says Amy Willshaw, Tim Clark’s Flowers.” Since we started participating in Good Neighbour Day five years ago, it has been a great success and we are extremely excited to be helping out The Centre for Dreams.”
The Centre for Dreams is a day program dedicated to providing a curriculum designed specifically for adults with intellectual challenges. We provide these special individuals with educational programs and social skills training with the hopes of integrating them into the community - both independently and confidently. We want to ensure that they will become productive, independent, dignified and respected members therein.
