Victoria College of Art 40th year celebration !

LIFE BEGINS AT 40! 

SPRINGBOARD 40 STUDENT SHOW AND SALE

The Victoria College of Art, the oldest and largest art institution on Vancouver Island, celebrates its 40th year as the creative center of Vancouver Island. The past 40 years has seen 5000 alumni and the college has developed from offering 4 basic courses to 90 different classes with 8 different programs.  As the college enters the digital age, with a flurry of new career certificates along with its prestigious 3 and 4 year diplomas, it looks forward to taking its primary place in the new arts and entertainment economy.

This April marks the 40th year-end student show and sale. This year, at the opening reception, you will be able to visit the past and envision our future. Our 19th century antique printing press will be in operation to show you how  modern materials combine with ancient skills to produce the new. Our existing and ever-evolving animation/illustration program will demonstrate the new age of  digital design arising from  basic classical hands-on skills.

"NARRATIVE ARTICULATIONS" Fine Art Textile Exhibition at The Victoria College of Art

The free exhibition  which runs  from August 27th to September 10th will fill the walls at the college with over 50 fabulous works. Victorians rarely have the opportunity to see how contemporary textile artists are stretching the limits of the form, so we are really thrilled that these internationally exhibited artists will be sharing their work with us. The exhibition is being curated by Lesley Turner, a new instructor at VCA, from New Zealand and  features only artists who are members of the prestigious City and Guilds of London Institute.  The three or more of the nine artists in attendance will be giving demonstrations, workshops and artist-led tours over our weekend-long Open House at 1625 Bank St. The course of the show will run from August 27th to September 10th (You might want to google Lesley and look at her blog.)
Opening Reception : Fri. Aug. 27, 2010 at 6:30 pm at 1625 Bank St.
