University Student Show – March 7 – March 31, 2015
Medium: Multiple
This exhibition is a unique opportunity for Fraser Valley residents who are currently attending or have recently graduated from any university to show their artwork outside of an educational setting and will include a wide range of experimental work, paintings and photography.
“Giving students a chance to exhibit helps heighten the awareness of their talent to the surrounding communities as well as supports our youth while they make the slow emergence into the world of fine arts and their chosen professions,” says Aymee Leake, Gallery Coordinator at the Kariton Art Gallery.
Eleven artists will be featured in the exhibition, including:
• Abigail Toftager, University of the Fraser Valley, Photography
• Brian Carlisle, University of the Fraser Valley, Oil
• Chantal New, Trinity Western University, Oil and Mixed Media
• Janelle Fitz, University of the Fraser Valley, Acrylic
