Hello gang,

On behalf of myself and my collaborative Co-editor, Nicole Burisch, I would like to extend a warm welcome to our new readers and to several new writers who have joined our team in 2009. Thank you for reading, writing and subscribing!

Best,
Anthea Black

CALGARY:
Carly Slade - Carly comes to us from ACAD's practicum program, to work "behind the scenes" at Shotgun-Review.ca and cut her teeth as a contemporary art writer. Welcome!
Jeremy Jeresky - Be sure to check out Jeremy's first Shotgun review just out this week! Welcome!
Viviane Mehr - Viviane is a student at ACAD with a keen interest in curatorial practices and contemporary art writing. Welcome!

BANFF:
Pandora Syperek - Lucky Alberta! Pandora relocated here after an MA at York University and has taken up shop in the Curatorial department at the Banff Centre. Welcome to Alberta and Shotgun too!

RED DEER:
Jasia Stuart - Welcome to our first correspondent from Red Deer! Shotgun-Review.ca is pleased to be able to slowly creep around the province in our ongoing bid to review as many shows as possible every month.

EDMONTON:
Sarah Hamilton - We managed to steal Sarah away from Edmonton's well-loved Vue Weekly for a few Shotgun-Review.ca columns here and there. Her first piece seems to have sparked a bit of debate about Edmonton's fave dead horse: Modernism! Thank you for that, and welcome Sarah!

Shotgun-Review.ca wishes to acknowledge Calgary Arts Development and The Canada Council for the Arts for their generous support.
