4. A Halifax West home for the arts
TheatreHalifax needs to raise $1.6 million to complete new school auditorium
By ELISSA BARNARD / Arts Reporter

TheatreHalifax received $367,000 in federal funding Friday to help it fill a "void" in the Halifax Mainland North community.

Fisheries and Oceans minister and Halifax West MP Geoff Regan flew home through the fog to present the cheque on behalf of ACOA during a short ceremony inside the shell of a $2 million, 500-seat theatre in the new $26 million Halifax West High School on Thomas Raddall Drive.

"This theatre has a school built around it," Regan said. "It represents a much needed addition to the cultural life of the community and the city as a whole."

The $367,000 from the Canada-Nova Scotia Infrastructure Program is for elevated seating and audio/visual and lighting systems. TheatreHalifax needs to raise $1.6 million to complete the theatre, to be used for everything from high school musicals to touring concerts to screenings of foreign-language films in a community where over 50 languages are spoken.

"We'd love to have had it opened yesterday," said Gary O'Hara, board chairman of the Halifax West Community Theatre Association (TheatreHalifax). "At the very least we'll start construction halfway through the campaign."

As an affordable 500-seat theatre, TheatreHalifax fills a "market niche" in all of HRM, he said. Many performing arts companies find the 1,000-seat Rebecca Cohn too large and too expensive to rent; other studio theatres are 200 seats.

The idea for the theatre was driven by this community of 80,000 that stretches from Prospect into Bedford.

As soon as the new Halifax West was announced, "one of the first wish list items was a community theatre," said O'Hara.

"The community spoke strongly that they felt they needed it, even though they realized there were no funds available for that," said O'Hara, a businessman whose family has lived in the area for many years.

"We're in one of the most culturally diverse areas east of Montreal and this is going to be a venue for the expression of all cultural diversity," he said.

The theatre will be a venue for people to "maintain their culture" by presenting film, dance or other arts events.

TheatreHalifax, a non-profit organization, has a joint use agreement with the Halifax Regional School Board which means it can hire a full-time manager to book the theatre year-round. Profits will go back into sustaining the theatre, O'Hara said.

The theatre is a resource for students interested in the arts, and will also provide job opportunities for students.

TheatreHalifax has already received $300,000 from the province and $400,000 from HRM.

The new Halifax Citadel High School is in the same position. Parents and community members want a theatre/auditorium which will cost about $2 million, says Jay Lugar, head of the fundraising team for Halifax Citadel.

The two schools Halifax Citadel is replacing, St. Patrick's and Q.E.H., each have theatre auditoriums.

"The current status is the province has agreed to design in an integral fashion an auditorium in the new school," says Lugar, but community has to pay for it.

"We have a shell that will be part of the school. We have to pay for the shell and to make it an auditorium."

The fundraising team is looking for government funding and planning its own fundraising campaign. As for the Canada-Nova Scotia Infrastructure Program, "I've been told definitively that program is closed," said Lugar. "Halifax West - and more power to them - they went at it early on."

As a sign of the future at Halifax West El Viento Flamenco and Nova Scotian blues musician Charlie A'Court took the stage after Friday's announcement.

"I can't say how good it feels to have something like this here where I live," said A'Court.

Area resident, businessman and honorary consul of Lebanon, Wadih Fares, heads up the fundraising campaign for TheatreHalifax. He lamented that awards ceremonies for students must be held in the cafeteria.

"This is one of the missing pieces in the infrastructure of this community," he said.

"I call on the business community of this area. We need your help and if we come knocking you know what to do."

10. A Site to See - Public Art

This work is monumental. It almost defies description. It is a community art project that took 15 years to complete and is a merging of art and landscape; art and technology. Read the following from the website:

Facts about The Angel
Gateshead's Angel of the North is one of the most notable engineering projects on Tyneside since the building of the Tyne Bridge and will bring a whole set of superlatives to the world of art:

It is believed to be the largest angel sculpture in the world
It will be one of the most viewed pieces of art in the world - seen by more than one person every second, 90,000 every day or 33 million every year
It is one of the most famous artworks in the region - almost two thirds of people in the North East had already heard of the Angel of the North before it was built
Its 54 metre (175 foot) wingspan is bigger than a Boeing 757 or 767 jet and almost the same as a Jumbo jet
It is 20 metres (65 feet) high - the height of a five storey building or four double decker buses
It weighs 200 tonnes - the body 100 tonnes and the wings 50 tonnes each
There is enough steel in it to make 16 double decker buses or four Chieftain tanks
It will last for more than 100 years
It will withstand winds of more than 100 miles per hour
Below the sculpture, massive concrete piles 20 metres deep will anchor it to the solid rock beneath
It is made of weather resistant Cor-ten steel, containing a small amount of copper, which forms a patina on the surface that mellows with age
Huge sections of the Angel - up to six metres wide and 25 metres long - were transported to the site by lorry with a police escort
