Arts Alive
April 19 – May 20, 2012
Reception: April 19, 2012 5 pm
Students, family members, teachers and the public are invited to attend.
Arts Alive is an inspiring range of artworks by secondary students from across Burnaby School District 41. The refined drawings, contemporary photographs, conceptual sculptures, and painterly expressions of personal imagery offer insight into the thoughts and skills of these young artists. Students in grades 8 -12 submitted work for consideration, and this exhibit represents just a portion of the talent and creativity shown by these Burnaby students.
Participating schools: Alpha, Burnaby Central, Burnaby Mountain, Burnaby North, Burnaby South, Byrne Creek, Cariboo Hill, and Moscrop.
Artist Apprenticeship Project: Ecologies
For 12 weeks a select group of high school students from the Burnaby School Board have been developing an installation led by artist and educator Jay Johnson. This year’s project, entitled Ecologies, explores the interdependency of everything. The exhibition features work by 12 emerging artists whose practices include various mediums such as sculpture, photography, drawing and printmaking. Participating artists: Jake Llorente, Christina Pinch, Helena Tse, Danitza Garate, Grace Zhu, Luisa Francescutti, Claudia Sovernigo, Jennifer Williams, Akzhan Zhilkibayeva, Emma Wegner, Lily Shi and Tim Hua
