Our Calendar of Events
EHAC offers workshops and concerts each season, creating opportunities for artistic expression and skill development. Based on a curated mix of genres and popularity, and mindful of our superb acoustics, up and coming musicians are invited to perform in our extraordinary space. Workshops are offered whenever teaching professionals visit the Bight and express interest in sharing their craft. Or perhaps an artist in residence will offer a class. Every season is different. Have a look at this season's offerings.

Concert in the Harbour with Craig Young and Duane Andrews
8 pm $20
Trinity Bight is in for a treat this summer with the teaming up of two of Newfoundland's accomplished singer/songwriters Craig Young and Duane Andrews. Their
Newfoundland's own Craig Young will return to the Arts Centre for a night of excellent music.
"Duane Andrews is a jazz guitar extraordinaire, famous for his devotion to the style of jazz legend Django Reinhardt. Craig Young is one of the best country pickers you'll hear anywhere. Put them together in a studio, and you'll get magic." (The Performance Hour CBC Radio)
Craig Young and Duane Andrews will take you from the traditional music of Newfoundland and Labrador, down through the Appalachian mountains into the land of bluegrass and country music and across the ocean to French cabarets filled with gypsy and swing music. These two consummate guitar players complement their enchanting guitar styles with an occasional song from Craig's rich repertoire. -

Traditional Glaze Oil Painting I with Kathy Marlene Bailey
9:30 a.m. to July 16th, 4:00 a.m.
A five-day painting workshop for beginners and experienced artists.
Medium: Glaze Oil
Cost: $600 including materials
Time: 9:30 am to 4:00 pm
Dates: July 12th July 16, 2015
If you want to learn the basics of how the old masters painted, how to paint in oils in a very health friendly way, this is the course for you! This 5 day art retreat workshop is a condensed course with master glazer, Kathy Marlene Bailey. She will teach you the basics of Renaissance glazing processes and will fine-tune your skills in: colour perception and mixing, rendering, value perception, brushwork and depth illusion. You will learn valuable skills suitable for any artist, both novice and advanced.
Kathy Marlene Bailey lives in Burlington, Ontario. She graduated from the University of Toronto in Art Education and Sheridan College in Creative Arts and ever since, has been a practicing professional artist. In her first year of university, she had the pivotal experience of learning traditional glaze oil painting. Kathy is one of a handful of artists in Canada who works in this highly specialized field. Although her artistic focus has been exclusively painting for a number of years, Kathy, from about 1994 to 2004, had an extensive career focus as a sculptor, primarily making small, fine, hand-modeled figurative sculptures.
She has participated for many years in commercial galleries, art events, and juried shows, three major exhibitions (one solo), and has won many awards for her painting. Kathy's work is currently being shown at the Christine Parker Gallery in St. John's.
As a child, Kathy grew up in Toronto with two artist parents, and cottaged in Haliburton County, where from being a tiny girl, she developed a fascination for nature and all its complexities, especially the dancing water. The Renaissance methods of oil painting she learned in university became an ideal medium for painting and exploring this wonder of water. The method has limitless gages to tweak and pull colour, value, contrast and colour quality. She could make transparency, translucency, opacity, light and dark, vivid and quiet colours dance together in rich harmonic melody, dancing to her eyes and soul.
She has completely enjoyed her extensive art teaching experiences where she "passes the baton" while specializing in technical training courses in traditional glaze oil painting, fundamental and advanced colour, as well as creativity skills development.

A Concert in the Harbour with What Odds
8 pm $20
Wanda Crocker, Gerry Strong, Jean Hewson and Rick West are all long-time contributors to the Newfoundland traditional music scene. They have played with each other in sessions and in various combinations on stage over the years without unfortunate incident. So, why not answer Newfoundland's desperate need for another traditional band and find fame and fortune before geezerhood takes over entirely? "What odds, may as well", they thought and hatched WHAT ODDS in the (very early) spring of 2013. The rest is unwritten history.
Wanda Crocker (fiddle and mandolin) was a member of seminal folk band BARKIN' KETTLE in the 80s, as well as the bands THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTERS and the SUB-SISTERS. With BARKIN' KETTLE, Wanda performed at most of the major Canadian folk festivals including: The Winnipeg Folk Festival, the Vancouver Folk Festival, and the Festival of Friends in Hamilton, Ontario.
Gerry Strong (flute, whistle) is well known for his work with the award-winning bands, TICKLE HARBOUR and A CROWD OF BOLD SHAREMEN, and his recent retirement from Eastern Health has enabled him to refocus his energies on performing, touring and promoting his recent CD, Velvet in the Wind.
For more than thirty years, Jean Hewson (lead vocals and guitar), has brought the music of Newfoundland and Labrador to the world stage. She has toured extensively throughout Canada, the UK and the States, with various artists, including: MAHERS BAHERS, BARKIN' KETTLE and Christina Smith (website). Her work with Smith garnered her two ECMA award nominations for their albums Like Ducks and August Gale (1998 and 2005, respectively).
Rick West (bodhran) played and was executive producer for Snotty Var, nominated for an ECMA in 1998. Since 1999 he has been a member of MAHERS BAHERS, led by accordion-master, Frank Maher. Their album, Mahervelous, received Canadian Folk Music Award nominations for best traditional and best solo-instrumental album (2005). -
