Points of View: River of Light Show

Hey, remember that tile project?  Or for those of you in the design fundamentals class, the barrel project?  It's up and on display at the Kerry Wood Nature Centre in the Marjorie Wood Gallery!  Neato!  We put together an exhibition consisting of the tiles, the barrels, photos of the maquettes of barrel sculptures, as well as a powerpoint given to us by the Creatmosphere Team documenting the progression of the River of Light project.

It's on now until July 6th.  There will be a closing ceremony on July 5th from 6:00-8:00PM.  There will be some attendees from the Centennial Committee, and there will be refreshments served.  It will be a really good event.  It is also a great chance to see your work in a professional show.  This really is an opening for the Ceramics and Design classes, so it would be great to see all of the artists out for the evening.

We will be packing up the tiles and pieces on the 7th, and bringing them back to the college.  If you need to collect them immediately, email me at carlene(dot)larue(at)gmail(dot)com.  I can try to help arrange a pick-up.  Otherwise I think that we can store them at the college until classes start up in September.

Hope to see you all there!

The Works Festival in Edmonton

I'm terrible at updating this thing, my sincere apologies.  So this week, and right up until July 4th, the Works Festival is happening in Edmonton in the downtown/Churchill Square area.  It's a great place to visit, lots of good art, okay art, and um.... shopping carts?  (You'll have to visit to see that piece).  But this year is really special as Mia helped the Ceramics Club team up with VASA (the University of Alberta's Visual Art Society) to create a show for this year's Works festival, entitled 'Human Energy: A Capacity for Fellowship'.  If you are interested in seeing some amazing ceramic pieces from a few of this year's grads, and, um... me, then check it out in the Stanley A. Milner Library, Site #5, in the Edmonton Room.  If you head down the stairs on the right-hand side once you come in the main doors and turn left at the bottom, you should see it.

Our Red Deer College students participating include, Mia Riley, K.T. Furness, Kaleb Romano, and Carlene La Rue.  Above I've attached a picture of Kaleb's piece.

The Works is one of MANY festivals that happen in Edmonton over the summer.  It's a great chance to attend and support the arts community, gather some ideas and inspiration, and absolutely support collaborations between our College and other post-secondary institutions.
