I.E. Weldon Secondary School (IEWSS)

St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School (STASS)
Juror: Olexander Wlasenko, Curator
The Station Gallery, Whitby
The Lindsay Gallery is pleased to provide the opportunity to showcase in a public art gallery the artwork being encouraged and developed by the art teachers in our area high schools. This annual exhibit of student art work attracts the highest number of visitors to the Gallery every year. It also demonstrates the high quality of art work being produced in our area high schools.
It took volunteers Bruce Young and John Humphries about four hours to arrange and hang the 66 pieces of art submitted by the Heads of the Art Departments at I.E. Weldon Secondary School, Lindsay Collegiate & Vocational Institute, and St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School on Tuesday. Labels were produced by volunteer Claire Fisk.
It took the Juror another three hours the next day to select the Award Winners. The Juror was Olexander Wlasenko, Curator of The Station Gallery in Whitby, who stated that “This year’s selected works have a strong impact on the viewer. This is an overall impression. One by one, each work draws you in. This year’s calibre is particularly high and leaves a lasting impression.”
Awards were selected in thirteen categories. These cash awards, generously provided by several community organizations listed below, will be presented to the students at the Opening Reception and Awards Presentations on Thursday, May 13 at 7 pm. Everyone is welcome
