How do you want to get involved in Carleton’s arts scene?
“I’m a singer, I love singing, I love musical theatre, I love drama too. I don’t know if there’s plays going on but I’d definitely like to get involved. Is this a choir here? Ya, I’d totally get involved in that.” - Sarah Vandenberg
Word, yo
Carleton’s campus is comprised of multiple chapters, one being a publication called In/Words that is diving into the school year and Carleton community headfirst this fall.
“In/Words is a small press and literary magazine run out of Carleton University,” new editor Leah Mol said. “It supports local literature by publishing both quarterly issues and chapbooks.”
Going behind Carleton’s curtains
The Sock ‘n’ Buskin Theatre Company is preparing for a busy upcoming 66th year at Carleton as it pulls together productions of the tragicomedy Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, the children’s fantasy Peter Pan and the smash-hit off-Broadway musical You’re in Town.
Underground art, sky-high skill
On the north side of campus, in the basement of St. Patrick’s building there is an ode to Canadian culture, the Carleton University Art Gallery (CUAG).
After a generous donation – both monetary and artistic – from Frances Barwick, CUAG opened in 1992. The donation of 57 pieces of Canadian art in addition to 75 per cent of the Barwick estate encouraged the beginnings of a campus gallery.
Diana Nemiroff, CUAG director, described the gallery as “one of the most beautiful gallery spaces in Ottawa.”
