WAM May 26-27 EVA Awards pt.1 - Mary Pratt
She says it's the only thing she's good at. Well, if you're as good at that one thing as Mary Pratt is, one thing may be just enough. Last night at the Excellence in Visual Arts Awards at the Rooms, the Society of Canadian Artists reinforced to Mary Pratt just how good they think she is. They recognized Pratt with an honourary life Membership into the SCA. Whether it's her cod fillets on tin foil, a poppyseed cake or a plastic container of peaches.... She transforms simple domestic objects into a piece of work that can only be described as A Mary Pratt. Last night, Margaret Walsh best, of the Society of Canadian Artists presented Mary Pratt with her award.

WAM May 26-27 Liner notes - Duane Andrews and Dwayne Cote
The sound is unmistakeable - The gypsy jazz guitar stylings of Duane Andrews. Pair that with the Cape Breton fiddle and you've got a sound all its own. The two Duanes, Dwayne Cote and Duane Andrews, released their first collaboration together in 2010. Now the Duanes meet again on their latest CD, The Empress.

WAM May 12-13 York Students
A group of grade 9 students from the York School in Toronto spent last week in St. John’s creating a documentary about Newfoundland culture and how it is shaped by our history … and vice versa.
It’s all a part of the schools ICE program - the Integrated Canadian Experience. The whole idea of ICE is for students to have an authentic experience with the people and the country.
While here, the young people spoke to artists and teachers and politicians and Dave the musician… and to me.
Toby Sparwasser-Siroka, Julie Jenkins, Hannah Kahn, Gillian Kiessling and Ben Feldman are the students. They joined me in the studio along with Sean Mitchell, director of Student Life at York, and began by asking Sean to better describe ICE for us.
