exhibition

The work in this exhibition represents the culmination of at least 2 years of critical engagement with materials, processes and ideas, of risk-taking and hard work. The work you see required an incredible amount of bravery to produce. Committing to a fine arts program and to art making as a career is a leap of faith and not for the timid. Some of our students have made this leap with little in the way of economic or family support and I want to acknowledge these students in particular.

To family and friends of our grads who may be reading this I want to specially acknowledge you as well. Your love and support of our students has helped to deliver them to the incredible achievement represented by this exhibition.

The following people are responsible for creating this virtual showcase: Milos Campbell, our Assistant Dept Chair, Elizabeth Milton, Fine Arts faculty member. Web and Mobile App students: Jose Arteaga, Megumi Takashima and Tayo Adetola as well as Fine Arts student, Wakana Shimamura. Thank you, team!!

Please enjoy this showcase and contact me or Milos if you’re interested in purchasing any of the work you see, we’ll put the artists in touch with you if the work is available for purchase.

Congratulations Grads, please do stay in touch!

Your Grad Show marks an important chapter in your evolution as an artist. It is the beginning of the next step in your path as some of you transition to pursuing your degree, while others may decide to take advantage of the opportunity to develop their practice further. No matter what you’re looking ahead to, take a moment to recognize all that you have accomplished here at Langara.

You are part of a vibrant, supportive community that began as a group of strangers. Your instructors and studio technicians have shared their knowledge and passion for their discipline. Guest speakers have brought additional perspectives to consider. Your fellow students have been there to support you as well.

Your hard work, focus, and dedication have brought you to this point. Roommates, family members, partners and spouses have undoubtedly been a part of this journey, too.

I look forward to seeing the Fine Arts Grad Show and the diverse range of work that will be generously shared with us, your audience. It is truly inspiring and I am proud of this amazing group of artists that are part of the Faculty of Arts. Congratulations and I wish you well in the next phase of your journey as an artist.
