Arts in the Place
Saturday Night Music... Live at the Gate!
There's more music happening at St. James Gate Pub in Carleton Place. Stan and Francine Clarke, owners of the pub, noticed that there was an entertainment gap for a music venue on a Saturday evening. The town has the regular bars that draw a younger crowd, but something was missing. An evening of acoustic music catering more to a listening audience in an intimate setting seemed to fit the bill. Opening night for this new venture, entitled "Live At The Gate", is Saturday, February 21 at 8PM featuring Kirk and Curtis Armstrong. Kirk is a well-known local performer and a member of Arts Carleton Place, who has just released a new CD entitled Island. February 28 will feature two acts: Joe Chalmers with original folk/roots music and Lisa Kopil with an eclectic mix of cover tunes.
The Clarkes are keen to support and promote local musicians and performers. Artists will be booked for one or two sets every Saturday. CDs will be for sale at the venue. This is not an open mic night setting. So all you musicians out there - drop in and check out The Gate! Kerron Lamb, an accomplished musician, is co-ordinating the booking schedule. She can be reached at lambk2001@yahoo.com or 256-7914.
There will even be a special menu, the "5 and dime", designed for the evening. All the tasty items will be $5 or $10. Cute, eh?
Mark your calendars for the Saturday the 21st and 28th, book a table with your friends and enjoy the music! And don't forget that Thursday nights from 6-9PM are jazz nights with the Peter Brown Duo - now into their third year of performing at The Gate.
St. James Gate Pub is located at 111 Bridge Street in Carleton Place (257-7530).

Northern Lights Labyrinth Walk
Posted January 22, 2009 under ArtsCP Activities
Join the Northern Lights Labyrinth Walk at the Victoria School Museum
On Saturday February 7th, The Labyrinth Committee of Carleton Place (TLC) invites you to join the fun as we celebrate the simple joys of walking a sparkling labyrinth -- made entirely of snow!
The "Northern Lights Labyrinth Walk" will take place from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m on the grounds of the Victoria School Museum in Carleton Place. Hot chocolate, the reading of a children's tale from Canada's north, and a bonfire will help warm our winter spirits at this absolutely free event. Families and individuals who are interested in trying this gentle and ancient practice are encouraged to "walk the path".
For centuries, humans have been fascinated by the labyrinth, a circuitous pathway that guides participants to its centre and back out again. Unlike a maze, the labyrinth holds no tricks or dead-ends and allows the walker a time for reflection.
People of all ages can enjoy the benefits of walking the labyrinth. Committee Chairperson, Debby Lytle points out : "Walking a labyrinth is a perfect example of a passive recreational pursuit." Both active and passive forms of recreation are important for a healthy community. Today, labyrinths are undergoing a modern revival. Walking a labyrinth can support healing, meditation, and personal growth. For these reasons, labyrinths are being installed in hospitals, schools, parks, spiritual retreats, and churches all around the world.
Lytle adds: "Bringing the labyrinth experience to Carleton Place adds one more element of interest to our town." At the first labyrinth walk held this past July, two hundred participants walked the path of a mown grass labyrinth located at the same Museum site. If you participated in the summer labyrinth, here's a new "all Canadian" snow labyrinth for you to try.
"We are very encouraged to discover that there is an excitement in the community about having a labyrinth here in Carleton Place", remarks Lytle. Building a permanent community labyrinth is the long-term goal for the TLC, an enthusiastic group of volunteers from the Carleton Place in Bloom Committee and the Carleton Place & District Horticultural Society.
For this event, the emphasis is on having some winter fun! A free glow stick will be given to the first 50 children in attendance!
When: Saturday February 7th, 6:00 to 7:00 pm. (Please note: In the event of a winter storm, or alternatively, if there is no snow available; the program will be cancelled.)
Where: Victoria School Museum Garden, 267 Edmund Street
For more information, contact Debby: 613-257-1014
