The Lunchbox 2020-08-27: Ingrained Art

On today’s show:

  • Today is Burger Day, so whether you cooked them yourselves, if they were made of meat or veg, I hope you grabbed a handful of the quintessential summer sandwich and enjoyed it.
  • Sadly (but unsurprisingly), the Monday Night Film Series has been cancelled for this fall due to COVID.
  • However, Symphony NB is staging a Condensed Ensemble to celebrate it’s 70th season, with 10 performances in October, November and December.
  • Flourish Fest has shifted from the spring 4-day spring festival to be a 10-day fall celebration! FLOURISH will be held from September 3-13, and ALL projects and programming will be totally free of charge. See the Facebook event for more details.
  • 2018 was a good year for artists, apparently. I found my interviews with Bruce Gray (wood artist) and Emily Blair and Emily Kennedy (WARPED).

News update:

  • There were no new cases of COVID-19 reported by New Brunswick Public Health yesterday afternoon.
