It’s exciting times as Grenfell Campus gets ready to kick off their 50th Art Exhibition tonight. Gallery Director Jane Walker says it’s a project designed to highlight various alumni or graduates of the Visual Arts program who went on to build careers in various sectors. She says they all started with a creative education at Grenfell. Tonight from 5-7, the gallery will feature Glenn Gear’s closing reception of his multi-disciplinary art practice. He is from the first graduating class of the Visual Arts Program and from Corner Brook.
Walker says tomorrow they will be celebrating a book launch by Nelson White, “imajimk (Living/Vivre)”, which is a trilingual book in English, French, and Mi’kmaq based on White’s work. It takes place from 2-4 p.m.
Walker says people would be surprised to know how diverse a career in the creative arts can be, including the obvious pens like curator, arts admin, and graphic design. She says there is an emerging TV and film industry in NL also but sometimes art graduates do a 180 and become doctors, lawyers and musicians.
This weekend exhibition at the gallery is called, “Celebrating Creative Legacies.”
