Every year I am excited to attend the New Sun conference at Carleton University. I went to the first one 9 years ago when I was in 1st year university studying visual arts at UWO. I was so excited to be surrounded by accomplished and interesting Aboriginal artists. I still remember when Drew Hayden Taylor and Don Kelly spoke and hearing Jeffrey Thomas speak about photography.

Since then I’ve enjoyed listening to and meeting many inspiring artists in all genres – culinary arts, film, dance, vocal, photography and the list goes on and on! There is no other conference like New Sun – it’s relaxed and intimate venue and informative speakers can not be matched! And don’t even get me started on the amazing buffet at lunch! )

The New Sun conference is just weeks away and already I’m excited about some of the artists I am aware of already, like the extremely talented Christi Belcourt that I met last summer but all the speakers have peaked my interest.

Please visit www.trickstershift.com for more information and check out this year’s beautiful poster.

Cheers!
