Over the course of a four year degree, students will have interacted with four different artists-in-residence. That\u2019s pretty incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The consistent funding, says Edson, will also benefit the contemporary art community as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe program is something that artists will become aware of nationally and internationally. They can apply rather than looking through ads online.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another new student-focused program coming soon is the implementation of internships with neighboring institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Edson says the department is still working out which institutions will be involved, but anticipates the internships to be beneficial for students in a number of ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cParticularly museum and curatorial studies [students] would be able to go to another institution and engage as an intern at another museum, gallery, or art space in a meaningful way,\u201d says Edson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between the new scholarships, awards, and internships, Edson is hopeful that more students with financial barriers will be able to attend the University for fine arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The planning of these services are still in early days, but CHMA will check in with Edson periodically as details emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bruce Wark of <em>Warktimes <\/em>spoke with Joan Kuyek, author of &#8220;Unearthing Justices: How to Protect Your Community from the Mining Industry,&#8221; to unearth the other side of Lassonde&#8217;s philanthropy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kuyek suggests that the donation is good for Lassonde&#8217;s public relations, since his name is now on Mount Allison&#8217;s school of Fine Arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tax deductible donations like Lassonde&#8217;s can be used, says Kuyek, to veil the devastating environmental consequences of mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lassonde&#8217;s fortune comes from the gold mining industry, and he even has a place in the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He has ties to mines internationally, including ones in Mexico, Indonesia, Peru and Romania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wark also spoke with international politics professor at Mount Allison, David Thomas, who helped organize Kuyek&#8217;s book promotion event on campus in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event, as reported by Erica Butler, had two RCMP officers in plainclothes show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thomas says that Lassonde&#8217;s gift, and ties to environmentally destructive gold mining, speaks to his larger concern about big businesses&#8217; impact on universities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He did not say that Mount Allison should have refused the gift, but does not think that Lassonde&#8217;s name should be on a school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hear Wark&#8217;s report and conversation with Kuyek and Thomas here:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Lassonde-report-mixed.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mount Allison&#8217;s Vice President Gloria Jollymore did say that that university has guidelines when it comes to accepting donations to ensure no damage to their reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While she is interested in a discussion about philanthropy in universities, she and Thomas disagree on the point of naming the School of Fine Arts after Lassonde. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jollymore says that Lassonde&#8217;s long history of supporting the arts warrants attaching his name to the donation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lassonde has gone on record in the past about the controversies surrounding gold mining, and says that environmentalists and other critics stir up opposition in developing countries where people don&#8217;t really understand the positive aspects of mining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With files from Bruce Wark, Warktimes.
