Youth involved in the Nanaimo Art Gallery’s CØD3: Youth Art Collective are highlighting what their newly developed art skills in its exhibit Shared Reveries.
The program that runs for three months twice a year is made up of youth ages 15 to 19 who meet weekly to learn new art skills and work with other youth artists.
The exhibit will showcase a variety of work including large format paintings, stop motion animation, mixed media collaborative artworks, sculptural ceramic works, printmaking, and drawings.
While the youth were putting the final touches on their projects and busy planning the exhibit, CHLY spoke with some of the youth at the last meeting before their exhibition opened. They shared what they have learned from the project and how it has allowed them to work together and come out of their shells.
The exhibit Shared Reveries runs at the Nanaimo Art Gallery’s Art Larb on Friday, June 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with an opening reception on Thursday, June 6 at 7 p.m.
Some of the visiting artists for this semester were Azadeh Elmizadeh and Osvaldo Ramirez Castillo who both had their artwork showcased at the Nanaimo Art Gallery during the semester. Photo: Lauryn Mackenzie / CHLY 101.7fm
