Thunder Bay International Fine Arts Association
The Thunder Bay International Fine Arts Association (TBIFAA) is an arts organization in Thunder Bay whose studio is at 97 South Algoma Street.[1]
Hosting the retirees' association
Its president, Pasquale Scarcello, gave the executive of the new Retirees' Association of Lakehead University a quiet, secure place to meet free of charge during the weeks into 2008 when the executive drafted its constitution. He saw that academics and artists have throughout history found common cause, and the retirees later called the sponsorship critical for their fledgling organization.[1]
Activities
The association met on the third Monday of every month in 2011, when it invited artists and would-be artists to its meetings and advertised events such as retro theatre, book readings and art shows.[2] In July 2009 it announced a haiku poetry competition with $1,000 in prizes.[3] In October 2017 the retirees' film society returned to its studio for its first meeting of the year, the studio having been the first home of the retirees' association in 2008.[4]
