Burger Wars in support of NEO Kids Foundation!
During the month of August, we have invited restaurants/cafés in Greater Sudbury to participate in a burger frenzy to battle for the title of ‘Best Burger’ in town, while raising funds for NEO Kids Foundation! How it works- Burger lovers will visit as many of the participating restaurants as possible in August and vote for their favourite burger on our website www.sudburyburgerwars.com For every burger sold at each location, $1 will be donated to NEO Kids Foundation to help keep our children closer to home. NEO Kids Foundation raises funds to purchase vital pieces of equipment, conduct life-changing research, and increase awareness for children’s health needs in Northeastern Ontario. #burgerwars #neokidsfoundation

Messy Minds Book Launch Party
This is it - our first launch party is being thrown at La Fromagerie! Come join us as we celebrate, share spoken poetry and stories, and enjoy art, poetry & photography by beautiful local artists. There will be cheese platters, live music & 100 copies that you can purchase in celebration of your favourite local artists & loved ones' published work. What is Messy Minds? Messy Minds is more than just a book project - it's a community. Based in Sudbury, Ontario, it combines art, photos and photography to express our deepest emotions, hopes, desires and dreams. This book is separated into sections of secrets, musings, short writings, and wisdoms to “what would you tell your younger self?”, all outlined by art, photography and poetry that encapsulates our burning desire to live our own definition of our truest lives. We launched Messy Minds in 2016 as a book project for students & artists alike to share their deepest secrets, hopes and dreams with. We took a bit of time to rework the concept and work out the nitty gritty design details – and we've since expanded it to invite people from all walks of life to share their stories with us. We couldn't have done it without every contributor and supporter. Come join us as we celebrate the evening away for our very first published edition!

Triple Love: Where Art Meets Autism
Triple Love: An Exhibit by Pierre AJ Sabourin, Trish Jokat, and her son Morgan Kitching. AUGUST AT ONE SKY GALLERY PIERRE AJ SABOURIN “As a young man, I traveled Canada from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island to the Arctic Circle on the Mackenzie River in the North West Territories. This experience instilled national pride in Canada’s wondrous beauty and diverse culture. Growing up in Sudbury, Ontario, during the peak of nickel smelting in the 50s and 60s and experiencing the destruction of nature by acid rain had a profound effect on me.” Sabourin, an en plein air landscape painter, follows the Canadian School of Painting in spirit, philosophy, and practice. The Canadian School was founded by AY Jackson and the Group of Seven. Sabourin makes his home in Killarney, Ontario. Art educator Arthur Lismer of the Group of Seven mentored Pierre at age ten, resonating throughout his entire life. Art that comes from the soul is the highest of truths it is the best of who you are. Sabourin went on to study Fine Arts at the University of Ottawa and the National Drawing and Print Council of Canada at the University of Calgary. Pierre apprenticed with landscape painter Ferenc Szeles of Hungary and mentored with great en plein air winter painter, Paul Schleusner of Germany. Pierre has developed a style of landscape painting that draws upon the traditions and influences of AY Jackson, Tom Thomson, JEH Macdonald, Arthur Lismer, Lawren Harris, Vincent Van Gogh, Igor Grabar, and Edouard Manet. "I’m an Expressionist! I love rich colour and thick impasto. manipulating paint and creating shadow.
