Submitted by NorVA Centre NorVA has received a Manitoba Arts Council (MAC) Grant for a Visual Arts Mentorship featuring Mr. Dean Bauche. Bauche spent a week at the NorVA Denare Beach Artist Retreat this past summer. He is a dynamic presenter, accomplished artist, passionate arts advocate and speaker. Bauche is a 21st-century artist with an old soul. His many accomplishments include: director of galleries for North Battleford 1994 to 2008; curator of the Allan Sapp Gallery 1988 to 1994; chief architect and designer for the 'Through the Eyes of the Cree' interactive multimedia exhibit for the Virtual Museum of Canada Project in 2003; and creator and curator of the 2009-10 multimedia exhibit 'Inspired by the Land'. A sample of his own work can be viewed on his website: www.baucheart.com NorVA recognizes Kristen Pauch Nolin, grant proposal consultant with MAC.

Application details for applying for the five mentee spots will be distributed at the end of February. Associated with the mentorship are very popular facilitated workshops. These will be open to NorVA artists, associate artists, Friends of NorVA, as well as the northern artistic community. NorVA will be able to accommodate upwards of 20 artists per weekend workshop. There will be three sets of facilitated workshops. For more information, contact Karen Clark, NorVA vice-president, at 687-3080 or 687-4237. Christmas was good to the NorVA Centre.
