| FUNDRAISER LEAP (Learning is Essential for All People) & Global Political Economy Students Association (GPESA) |
 Together, GPESA and LEAP are hosting a social in order to raise funds that will go towards school supplies, school materials, healthy snacks, and other weekly operating costs. FUNDRAISER As part of this fundraiser, we are looking into the possibility of having an art auction. We will accept donated works or prints, but are also open to compensating the contributing artists. In this case, we would ask the artist to present us with a base price for their work, and would begin bidding at that number. In the case of a sale, the artist would be compensated for the value they presented, and any additional profit would go into the funds raised for the evening. EVENT DETAILS The event will be held on April 24th, 2014 in the main floor Gallery of the Manitoba Hydro Place on Portage avenue. There will be live music, a silent auction, beverages and hors d'oeuvres served. Artists are encouraged to attend!

| THE ARTIST HERSELF Broadening Ideas of Self-Portraiture in Canada Canadian Women Artists History Initiative Conference |
 7-9 May 2015, Queen's University, Kingston http://cwahi.concordia.ca In honour of the 40th anniversary of From Women's Eyes: Women Painters in Canada, the next conference of the Canadian Women Artists History Initiative will be co-hosted in Kingston, Ontario, by Queen's University and the Agnes Etherington Art Centre. Coinciding with the exhibition The Artist Herself, the conference invites participants to reconsider ideas around women's self-portraiture and, more particularly, to broaden our understandings of what 'counts' as self-representation. Subjectivity and identity have long been central concerns for feminist art history and theory. How does this scholarship enable us to rethink the boundaries of portraiture and the self? Papers are solicited that consider the category of women's self-representation through the wider frames of community, environment, and experience. How do objects reveal their creators? And can posthumanist and materialist challenges to decenter the subject be productively united with our understandings of the work of self-portraiture and autobiography? Analyses of women's creative productions across all visual media are welcome, from scholars, curators, archivists and conservators. In keeping with the historical mandate of CWAHI, the conference will focus on the period prior to 1967. We also invite submissions that reflect on and carry forward the project of Dorothy Farr and Natalie Luckyj's groundbreaking 1975 exhibition. Please email a 150-word abstract as well as a 2-page cv to alicia.boutilier@queensu.ca and cwahi.conference@gmail.com before 15 May 2014. Graduate students should also forward a letter of support from their supervisor. Selections will be made by 15 July 2014. Any inquiries may be directed to Dr. Kristina Huneault, Department of Art History, Concordia University kristina.huneault@concordia.ca 514-848-2424, ext. 4697. |
