The Vast Depths by Kelly Barbosa
The Northern Artist Gallery is thrilled to announce that the exhibit for the month of May will be artist Kelly Barbosa. The exhibit will showcase her love for oceanic creatures and can be viewed at Artists on Elgin from May 1-31. The public is invited to attend the opening reception on Saturday May 11th from 1pm to 4pm to meet the artist. Kelly Barbosa has always felt a love for the ocean and the creatures that inhabit it. Kelly’s work is a unique blend of painting and relief sculpture as she carves creatures out of MDF (multi-density fibreboard) and finishes them with acrylic paint. Kelly wants to bring a splash of the ocean to the inland of Northern Ontario using vivid hues and bold stylization. In this display of oceanic creatures, you will experience divergent species represented with vibrant hues, bold lines and distinct texture. Come and explore the vast depths.

Climate Action Petition goes to Council May 28
The community is invited to come out Tuesday, May 28, 6:00 p.m. in Council Chambers to show support for a climate emergency declaration and action on climate change in Greater Sudbury. On February 1, 2019, local youth with Fridays for Future called on Greater Sudbury Council to declare a climate emergency. Moved to act, two local grandmothers, Dr. Jane Cox and Mrs. Carole Lavallée, began a climate action petition. Over 2000 residents from every Ward and every area of Greater Sudbury have signed this petition, which will be presented to Council at the May 28 Council meeting. Councillors will vote on a motion to declare a climate emergency and make action on climate change a priority. Attendees should plan to be there for 5:50pm. The vote should be done by 7:00pm.
