On June 8, a reception will officially open the exhibit showcasing artwork by grades 9 and 11 art students of Meadowvale Secondary School in Mississauga. We are excited about the exhibition featuring our students, and hope that this will foster continued success of our visual arts program. This project resulted in a dynamic collection of student paintings and mixed media works. The objective of the project was to have students map out and document a path that touches on the physical landmarks, the social and political history, the art and architecture, and the distinctive cultures within their neighbourhoods.
Students are proud and excited about their accomplishments.
About 30 to 40 pieces created by Meadowvale students will be on display at the First Canadian Place Gallery at Bay and Adelaide Streets in Toronto. The exhibit will also feature works by three other schools from Sarnia, Waterloo County and Sudbury. Rodriguez worked with all three. The exhibition will run from June 5 to June 23.
