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.”
