Who is Emily Falvey? Owens Art Gallery, Mount Allison University, Struts Gallery Supporter, Fundraising

Universities asking for money from the public taxpayers? Why?  #DefundUniversities

I have to advise my readers that Emily Falvey needs to work harder and more creatively at her well paid job on campus and learn how to network more effectively in the region and to fund raise without asking for money from the people in Tantramar at our Town Hall.  Simple as.  Hold more events to fund raise.

Blocking me on X was probably also a bad idea Emily.. just sayin.  "Radical collaborations" might be a good thing for you.

Annual Fundraiser from Owens Art Gallery is called "The Sweetest Little Thing" here:

Starting today, Thursday, 27 August 2026, part of our entrance ramp is being repaired, and will be unavailable for use until Wednesday, 2 September.
Because our other entrances require stairs, we will have no accessible entrance available during this time. We sincerely apologize for this.
The stairs to the Owens from the entrance nearest the University Chapel, and the York Street side entrance stairs are still available for use.
Please get in touch if you have any questions about your visit."

Gregory Elgstrand and I keep in touch as I had reached out to him this year as he's a former Struts Gallery man from the 1990s .. out there Port Moody, B.C. at bohart.ca / ArtsConnect.. so I do recommend that others in the arts community with AI concerns reach out to learn more about the AI presentation of Jai Djwa, Agentic Digital Medial, referenced below:

On Tuesday 9 June 2026 at 5:30pm ArtsConnect presents “Both Hands Full: Resilience as an Artist's Practice in the Age of AI,” a free public talk by Jai Djwa at The Outlet, 2248 McAllister Avenue in Port Coquitlam. As Jai Djwa describes: “Resilience is a muscle artists already have. We remake our practice when conditions change, and we work in the cracks of systems that weren't built for us. AI is the latest condition to tackle, and it asks for both hands. One hand holds the harms: scraped work, lost commissions, power consolidated in a few platforms, and real environmental cost. The other holds what is opening up: new forms, freedom from admin, and faster ways to test an idea. Refusing both the booster and the doomer reflex is itself an act of resilience. Drawing on work with the BC Arts Council and Arts BC, and on a current dance residency that investigates AI into live performance, I offer a practical, values-forward way for artists and arts communities to stay flexible, stay specific, and stay in the conversation.” Jai Djwa is a Vancouver-based artist and educator whose practice spans electroacoustic composition, AI-augmented interaction design, and creative performance. With an MFA in Electronic Arts from RPI and 25+ years bridging art, technology, and social change, he currently runs the Interaction Design program at Capilano University while exploring how AI agents can be personalized to an artist's own voice. He served on the BC Arts Council for 6 years, and is currently on the board of Arts BC. Headshot Credit: Credit Kris Krug This talk is presented as part of ArtsConnect’s "Public Walks, Public Spaces, Public Arts, Public Cities" program. The 2026 program includes a series of related discussions on the place of the artist and the arts in creating socially, culturally and economically dynamic and resilient communities in the Tri-Cities led by a diverse collection of professionals working across all forms of art, culture, architecture, urban planning, technology, economics and more. Recent presentations have included Brian McBay's talk on 30 May 2026 in Port Moody and forthcoming presentations include a talk by Kamala Jasmine Todd in Coquitlam on 20 June 2026 in partnership with the Coquitlam Public Library. ArtsConnect gratefully acknowledges the support of the City of Coquitlam's Spirit of Coquitlam Grant Program, the City of Port Coquitlam Community Cultural Development Investment Program, the City of Port Moody, The The Village of Anmore, the Port Coquitlam Community Foundation, and the Coquitlam Public Library. #artsconnect #tricitiesarts #artsconnect_urbanism #artcities #artsconnect_economies #artsconnect_cities #artsconnect_urbanism #artcities #artsconnect_economies #citiesofthearts #portcoquitlam #tricities #GreaterGood #GreaterFuture #aiart #artificialintelligence"

Greg shared Jai Djwa’s PowerPoint about AI and the arts.. and advised "When I worked at Struts we partnered with the Fine Arts Department and Mount Allison University to present a speaker series in the arts. I think we hosted four or five speakers a year.

..... I look forward to speaking with you again in the future.. 
Give my best to everyone at Struts and in Tantramar City."  [Thanks Greg]
