This is my 100 and final post for The Huntly Review, an original project devised for my six month stint at Deveron Arts as their Visiting Arts Writer and Curator. The intent of the project was to take Deveron Art’s motto, “the town is the venue” to task by conducting an ongoing “review” of Huntly for the duration of my visit. 

Only, after six months in Huntly, it’s pretty clear that the town was never consulted in being nor remaining the venue, as was first made clear on my independent (i.e. unguided) tour of The Town Collection. Greeted with suspicion, if not downright hostility, a viewing of The Town Collection was in fact a search for missing works, damaged works, finding a work left hidden behind a couch, and generally coming across works that were inaccessible on some level from their original placement. 

I have other protestations, but my project is The Huntly Review and not The Deveron Arts Review, which is a major distinction that needs to be made. The summary of my time has been formally submitted as a final report and may be made available upon request.  

Thanks for reading, and you can keep up on my other projects and writings on AmyFung.ca and PrairieArtsters.com  Bye for now!
