When Canadian/American artist and photographer Elizabeth Siegfried discovered a dusty forgotten crate in the attic of her family’s Oxtongue Lake cottage, she wasn’t expecting a time capsule, but that’s exactly what she found, in the form of old film reels, carefully protected in canisters, from decades ago.
She spent the next four years going through over 90 reels of 16 mm film, watching as vivid scenes and stories from the Ringling Brothers Circus came to life. Captured by Siegfried’s grandmother, Elizabeth Chapin White, the films showed clowns cavorting for the crowds, equestrians riding bareback on powerful horses and elephants grazing the grounds of south Florida and upstate New York.
“It was as though my grandmother had reached through time to give me a
tremendous gift,” Siegfried says. “I knew it must be kismet. I also knew that I was about to embark on an important and deeply meaningful cross generational collaboration.”
Siegfried has now given these stories new life, carefully selecting individual frames and converting them to large-scale photographic prints for her upcoming exhibition “CIRCUS!”
CIRCUS! will be on display in Huntsville’s Partner’s Hall at the Algonquin Theatre from July 1 to 31, with an opening reception Saturday, July 14 from 1 to 3 p.m.
Come celebrate Canada’s birthday with Northern Escapades MINI PUTT !

A no-frills, everyman Canadian rock unit in the vein of the Tragically Hip, the Headstones, the Arkells, and the Trews, Kingston, Ontario’s the Glorious Sons formed in 2011 around the talents of Jay Emmons, Andrew Young, Adam Paquette, Chris Huot, and Brett Emmons. Specializing in a winning blend of rootsy alt-pop and Canadian blue-collar trad rock, the band issued a debut EP (Shapeless Art) in 2013 — the EP garnered positive reviews, as did their energetic live shows. The following year saw the band head into the studio with the Trews’ John-Angus MacDonald and record their debut long-player. The resulting Black Box Recordings-issued Union, which featured the radio hits “Mama,” “Heavy,” “White Noise,” and “Lightning,” arrived in September 2014. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi

Calm and Chaos represents the duality of the paintings, quiet and introspective on one side and a view of the chaos and demoralization going on in the larger world on the other. Throughout Neil Sternberg’s career as an artist, his work has mostly been about his personal world, his immediate environment of both people and places, however, as he observes the world in its current state, Neil have increasingly felt his own obligation to comment about it in his art. The connective tissue between the two halves of the show is the human spirit, whether it is being at one with nature or being at odds with our own humanity, our determination to thrive is what he is interested in. The calm portion of the exhibit are concepts observed firsthand, created either directly from nature or working from images of his own, while in the chaos part of the show the source of inspiration is sometimes borrowed from found images. The G20 riots, the emerging of First Nations, or one of the many wars going on in the world are all areas of exploration in his art that highlight the determination of the human spirit to be unfettered.
