Stacey Smart-Chandler `s Conopeum Art

 

Stacey Smart-Chandler graduated the the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 2008, with an interdisciplinary degree. He degree gives her a wide background in the arts, so she knows something about all the mediums she is carrying.

 

Stacey has chosen the name Conopeum Art for her shop.

Conopeum is Latin for “canopy,” and Smart-Chandler says she wanted to choose a name that would encompass more than just art supplies. Not that there is any shortage of those either in the store.

 

The store has just about anything an artist or crafter’s heart could desire. There are fine art supplies, a section devoted specifically to children’s art, crafter’s section, scrap booking, knitting, crochet, bead working, jewelry making and fabrics. That’s just to start off with as well. Smart-Chandler says as people start coming in, she will modify what she is carrying to cater to the community.

 

Part of the store also has a workshop space, to hold classes by herself or by other artists. Rental of the space is charged on a percentage amount, based on the number of participants and the fee charged, rather than just a flat fee. She says she wants to have a space people can use by a wide variety of people.

 

CONOPEUM ART is much more than an art store.

It is time for a visit.

LIVERPOOL for art and artists alike.

New Middle School - construction begins

 

It's begun!

Construction of the
new middle school in  Liverpool, Nova Scotia

The new Middle School is expected to open in September 2013. This 15 million dollar project is being built on the very site of the existing school, right in the heart of the community.

 

There will be a small shift in the students with the opening of the new school as the Grade 9 students will be moved to the High School and the Grade 6 students will move from the Elementary School to the Junior High School.

 

Therefore the new school will take on the the "middle school" concept (grades 6-8) which is a relatively new model for the mid-level grades. Junior high schools were initially created for the purpose of "bridging the gap between the elementary and the high school".

Liverpool .... educating our young

to build a better community for tomorrow

LIVE LIVERPOOL ... it's a unique experience

Titanic Remembered

 

 

 

 

The Queens County Museum is exhibiting “Titanic Remembered”. This exhibit opened to the public on the 100th anniversary of her sinking, April 15.  Liverpool had a small connection with the sinking of the Titanic. Two little Syrian boys, the Yarred brothers, survived and were brought here to Liverpool to stay with the Garratt family until they could be reunited with their family in Florida.  On display are three hankies, authentic Titanic artifacts. Three hankies were scooped out of the water by a crewmember of the MacKay Bennett when she was sent out to the scene to retrieve the bodies. He brought the hankies home to his wife who washed and pressed them, then placed them in the family bible. 

 

Come on in and see them and get the rest of the story . The exhibit will be in place from April 15yh  to the end of September. There is no admission fee to come in and view it.
