Downtown Fredericton has restarted their Thursday afternoon artisans market in the Wilmot Alley that runs between King and Queen Streets. It's a pleasant little market with all hand made craft, visual artworks and music. Worth dropping in to see between 4 and 8, if not to see me, than to see the other artisans or listen to some cool beats. Rain location for days like today is King's Place Mall center court.
The Fredericton Arts Alliance, that has been providing a summer residency program for a number of years, is holding their residencies at the York Sunbury Museum this summer. Located in gorgeous downtown Fredericton's Historic District, and it's not hard to find which of the 2 city blocks it's on.
My residency starts on Saturday July 24th. My residency partner for the week is Leigh Merritt, a talented potter that I had the pleasure of working with last summer at the casemates. I am looking forward to seeing what Leigh has planned for the week, while I am wracking my brain for inspiration regarding the word "Metamorphosis" for the upcoming Metal Arts Guild of Nova Scotia's annual competition and exhibition.

River Valley Craft Show
All good things must come to an end and something else will refresh it and take its place.
Those of us that are fortunate enough to participate in the first River Valley Craft Show are hoping for a glorious weather day on Saturday July 10th in Quispamsis, New Brunswick as we take over the Art and Culture Park at 12 Landing Court.
This show will be fine craft as it is only juried members of the New Brunswick Crafts Council. This show is effectively replacing the Rothesay Fine Crafts Festival which didn't happen to get off the ground this year.
See you there.
