In the 1980s, Stein was freelancing as a musician and composer for theatre and dance. During that time, he would work in Regina as a composer for the New Dance Horizons, where he helped them with their production management skills. When the 1990s came around, he took a job at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, where he was the Associate Director of Program Planning, a position that led him all over Canada and the world. It was then during the early 2000s that he decided he wanted to be closer to the art. “In the beginning of the early 2000s, I decided I would recommit to working in small arts organizations. Big biocracies are good for jobs, but you are quite far away from the actual hands-on art-making, and that’s the part I loved,” he said. “When I was faced with a career change opportunity, and there was this little cool company in Regina, I decided that I would make the plunge.”
Vermette said typically they take registrations for booths in March and they were receiving calls asking what s happening? Unfortunately, there is not an answer to that question at present. Current restrictions due to COVID-19 would not make a trade show viable, said Vermette, adding there is no indication when changes to those restrictions might happen, or what they might look like by September. With such uncertainty it was impossible to plan the 2021 event. Even if it were possible to hold Sunflower would it be in any way close to normal? she asked. Vermette said they also did not want to take registrations from exhibitors and then end up canceling, leaving crafters with items they had made in anticipation of the Sunflower event.
1- Enjoy a winter bbq on the deck. So winter might not be the traditional time to throw a chop or steak on the outdoor grill, so why not be bold when you do and try a homemade barbecue sauce, maybe something using locally sourced honey? 2- Write a letter letting your family know you love them. It may seem a bit old-fashioned but there is something deeply personal about a handwritten letter, and we could all use some practice with our writing skills in this largely text-based world. 3- Make homemade butter with your kids. 4- Go through your clothes and donate the ones you don’t wear anymore. We all have them, the ones that time has shrunk, or that are simply out-of-fashion (Do you really need to keep those corduroy bell-bottoms?) So pass them on.
He felt that his song “What is Wrong” needed to get out this year, because it reflects the different issues that are facing the world through a difficult year. “When you hear about injustices or hear about sad things going on in the world, it’s really hard to avoid that. I’m just hoping that it resonated with a lot of folks, in tune with what’s going on.” But not every song is as serious, and he can’t resist writing a few love songs. “I’m a sappy love song writer too, and I don’t mind a little ballad here and there.”
