The Gallery at Queen’s Park is featuring the art of the next generation in June.
The month of young artists’ work kicks off from May 29 to June 2 with a pop-up exhibition, INSPIRED, featuring the art of students from the Queen’s Park Parent Participation Preschool.
The three- and four-year-old artists have visited many of the exhibitions at the gallery over the past year, and this exhibition will show the work they’ve created after being inspired by those shows. The children’s work will include paintings, drawings, ceramics, collage and sculpture.
Then, from June 5 to 30, the gallery will feature Our Journey to Here, a grad show by 2019 graduating students of New Westminster Secondary School.
The show includes ink drawing, painting, sculpture and photography.
“These artists are excited to launch themselves into the big world and land in a way that honours their high school life,” says a write-up about the show. “As you wander through the gallery of images and sculpture, you will see yourself mirrored in their youth and proudly imagine the strength of our community’s future.”
An opening reception is set for Wednesday, June 5 from 6 to 8 p.m., and a graduation reception is on Thursday, June 27 from 6 to 8 p.m.
The Gallery at Queen’s Park is open Wednesdays from 1 to 8 p.m., and Thursdays through Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. It’s in Centennial Lodge, Queen’s Park.
