Justin Rutledge Biography
Justin Rutledge, who was credited as the “Best Toronto songwriter in 2006” by NOW, returns to the festival this year with his third album, Man Descending (2008); a collection of quieter, darker songs that were inspired by the 1982 book of the same name by Guy Vanderhaeghe. Rutledge’s debut album, No Never Alone (2005), was called “an incredible breakthrough,” by the UK’s NME and his sophomore release, The Devil On A Bench In Stanley Park (2006), earned him a Juno nomination and the Galaxie Rising Star Award at the Edmonton Folk Festival.

Our digital perk: Junction Bound

2008 © Co-written by Neil Ross and Samantha Martin

Friends, Can you hear that lonesome whistle sound?
It's the trains running through a busy railway town.
I've been through the country chasing dreams down,
But I lost myself before the sun went down.
* *

I've seen everything between Halifax and North Vancouver
But I always loved the Junction and swore to be true to her.
* *

Junction Dream, beyond my caress
Junction Dream, bring me home from the west
There's a railway town I call my own
Blue Lights of the Junction call me home
Blue Lights of the Junction call me home
* *

Friends, if you asked me my creed it comes down to this,
There is misery and greed, but somewhere there is bliss.
I've seen them dance at Keele and Dundas West,
Where the trains all meet and my bones they will rest.
* *

I'm homesick and hurtin' but tonight homeward I'll be
Always loved the Junction and pray she remembers me.
* *
Junction Dream, just beyond my caress
Junction Dream, I'm coming home from the west
There's a railway town I call my own
Blue Lights of the Junction they're calling me home
Blue Lights of the Junction they're calling me home
Blue Lights of the Junction I'm finally home.

The Poetry Peepshow is a First
at the 2008 Junction Arts Festival

Toronto, ON, August 21, 2008 – The Junction Arts Festival (September 3 to 7, 2008 in Toronto), produced by the Junction Forum for Art & Culture, presents a cultural extravaganza like no other and the Poetry Peepshow, taking place during the weekend Dundas Street West street closure on Saturday, September 6 and Sunday, September 7, is a brand new feature of the 16th annual celebration.

Now attracting 150,000 visitors annually, the 2008 Junction Arts Festival, which practices and encourages reducing, reusing and recycling throughout the entire festival location, is set to throw the party of the year as the Junction celebrates its centennial of becoming the City of West Toronto in 1908.

For the first time, the Junction Arts Festival proudly presents Poetry Peepshow during the weekend festivities (located within the festival boundary on Dundas Street West, exact location to be determined).

In true voyeuristic style and for a quarter (25 cents), the viewer will be offered an intimate "fly on the wall" experience with one poet, who will be sitting in a specially built 10-foot x 10-foot wooden room, for a two-minute session to perhaps gain some literary knowledge or peer into an open window of a poet’s soul and see the secret world of the individual writer.

States Junction Arts Festival Executive Director Michael Menegon, "We‘re excited to be presenting the Poetry Peepshow this year and hope it returns as an annual component. It’s new and different, and it adds an important element to the overall creative energy!"

Poetry Peepshow will showcase a roster of nine Toronto based writers, each for two hours at-a-time, as they are in the midst of their creative, and usually private, process.

POET LINE-UP (listed in alphabetical order, schedule times to be determined)

• Aisha John
• Anne-Marie Woods, a.k.a. Amani
• Gili Haimovich
• Kimberley Orton
• Lo Bil
• Patricia Archer

Kimberley Orton is a playwright, screenwriter, poet and, most recently, Birth Doula and Reiki Practitioner. Kimberley keeps her word collection in a medium sized old house in an odd corner of the Junction.

Lo Bil, a performance artist, playwright and poet, received an Ontario Arts Council Spoken Word grant tour "A Professional Occupation" – where she sits in public writing poetry and creates performances that relate to the community where the poems were written.

Call to Artists Toronto Junction Arts Festival 2008: Green Village

The Junction Arts Festival - September 3 to 7, 2008
Snapshot: junctonartsfest.com Call to Artists

This year the Junction is celebrating its 100th anniversary marking its incorporation as West Toronto in 1908. Celebrations are being planned all year, but none as big as the annual Junction Arts Festival.

Our aim is to organize the artistic line-up keeping in mind, but not limited to, the festival theme – Historic Mind / Modern Eye. At a time when we are celebrating the Junction's past we do so with one eye on the present and one on the future. The interpretations, visions, stories, hopes and dreams presented will transform this theme into a reality and help define who we are. The Junction.

We are currently accepting applications for the following categories -
Juried Visual Art Exhibit; Street Performing Artists; Art Installations;
KIDZone/Junction Community Stage; Writers and Readings; and Music.
Get your application at www.junctionartsfest.com
