Toiling by day as an animal shelter attendant, he desperately wants to escape his lower middle-class existence and become a famous singer and songwriter. Much to the chagrin of Artie’s downstairs mistress Bunny Flingus, he lives with his wife Bananas, and at first glance her name appears apt.

As such, they have come up with a proposal to create edible landscapes that would encourage people to connect more closely to their food while offering valuable services such as tending to the garden, harvesting, and processing whatever is grown. Their table will have an installation on food waste to increase awareness of the issue and an interactive demonstration of their solution.

Society Of Acadia Music Students (SAMS)

The School of Music offers a comprehensive music curriculum where students develop expertise in a chosen area of specialization while being encouraged to broaden their horizons within our many diverse course offerings.

At Acadia University we believe an undergraduate school of music in a liberal arts university should be more of a laboratory than a conservatory. We strive to create versatile, confident, and well-rounded musicians who are prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Moreover we believe our program provides an essential foundation for success in any career of life path by focusing on these five key pillars of any classical contemporary music education.

The Society of Acadia Music Students (SAMS) is a student run club that organizes activities and events for music students. We also promote musical events in the community and on campus as well as congratulate music students on their achievements. We are the liaison between the staff and students working to make this experience the best one possible.
