Arts Alive:Awesomeology: Gratitude in the Little Things
Opening reception: Thursday, May 1, 7-9 pm
Awesomeology: Gratitude in the Little Things invites us to celebrate the pauses and moments of positive awareness in our everyday lives. Elementary students from Grades K-7 were encouraged to work collaboratively in their classrooms to explore what they think is awesome. Inspired by Alie Ward’s “Ologies” podcast episode Awesomeology (Gratitude)with Neil Pasricha, this year’s Arts Alive celebrates the achievements of young students in its 43rd year of partnership with School District 41.
Artist Apprenticeship: Form Identity, Cast Reflections
Opening reception: Thursday, May 1, 7-9 pm
Artist Apprenticeship supports SD41 Grade 11 & 12 students in their creative ambitions through mentorship from artists and arts professionals that culminates in an exhibition. In its 17th year, this year’s senior secondary students explored the theme of shadows over nine weeks, leading them to experiment with representing transformation and self-reflection in artwork. Their exhibition responds to artworks within the City of Burnaby Permanent Art Collection.
The Burnaby Art Gallery would like to acknowledge the time and dedication of all participating students, teachers, and career counsellors. These exhibitions are made possible through the generous support of the City of Burnaby, BC Arts Council and the Burnaby School District.
