; ° cheapskate theatre critics might
Mallierch ERD wish them to be.

But last Tuesday, too many arts
fans missed a great party at
Presentation House Arts Centre.

Hosting the bush was the North
Shore Arts Commission and the
occasion was the inauguration of
the Fund for the Arts on the North
Shore, or FANS for short.

The evening will see over
$2,000 deposited with the North
Shore Charitable Foundation for
the future support, development

and promotion of arts on the North
Shore.

Just as importantly, the evening
was a chance for the North Shore
to celebrate the wonderfully cre-
ative talents our cleaner air seems
to nurture.

Thanks to Cydney Nielsen,
soloist with the Anna Wyman
Dance Company, the improvisa-
tional comedy of 43 Lbs. of
Wasted Space (catch them every
Friday at | 1 pan. at Presentation
House), the award-winning writers
of the North Shore Writers
Association (Gerhard Winkler,
Adeline Wilson and Colleen
Heinrich), the blossoming talents
of Capilano College music stu-
dents Dawn Coulter, Leslie
Scholton and Sung Min Ahn and
last. but definitely not least, the
energy and joy of the vocal ensem-
ble Pandora’s Vox.

Hosting the evening were two.
local actors: the always clegant and
soon-to-be-famous-television-star
(Nobody's Business) Gillian
Barber and shoe-fetishist Peter
Jorgensen of The Backwards
Zone and Uncle Randy
Productions (ask him if /nto The
Woods is fully cast yet).

The 1995 FANS Award (a beau-
tiful glass sculpture by North
Shore artist Marina Papais) was
awarded to “an internationally-
renowned North Shore artist with a
substantial and recognized body of
work.” :

Short-listed this year were
choreographer Judith Marcuse,
actor Robert Clothier and glass
artist Robert Studer.

There were no losers, but the
name in the envelope was Robert
Clothier’s,
