We had a fabulous kick-off to our annual Art Show with a packed opening night gala. Students, parents, community members, and people from all walks of life descended on Fresh Paint Studio to celebrate the tremendous creative achievement of our students. With music, food, and opening remarks from MPP Rima Berns-McGown, it was a night to remember. A huge thanks to everyone who helped out, and congratulations to all of our emerging artists!

The show is up until Thursday, May 30th, so drop by to see the work (and maybe even buy a piece!). Gallery hours are posted on Fresh Paint Studio’s website.

The show opens tomorrow at 6:30! Join us for an evening to celebrate the incredible work of our Art, Photography, and Graphic Design students.
