Great artwork plus a fun-filled swag bag! December 5, the artwork draw and choosing begins for our Little Black Frame Mystery Art fundraiser. A variation on the art lottery format, when your number is drawn, you’ll have the chance to choose your favourite stunning art piece from a selection of 120+ unique works, each one showcased in a little black frame. Created by established and emerging artists, you won’t know who made your masterpiece until it’s in your hands. We’re also adding in a special party-in-a-bag swag bag with a value of over $50 for all our participants. Find full details on this online event, including how to buy your tickets at https://dvsa.ca/black-frame.
Sometimes four hands are better than two when testing the limits of gravity in the Young Architects studio.
Margaret Watson was a special guest in our Halloween themed Colour Blast class this week, here to read her children's book "If Art Had Words. Margaret’s son, Sean, was a DVSA student years ago, taking cartooning classes with our own Jerry Hish among others. He went on to receive a degree in Illustration from Sheridan. When Sean passed away in 2017 after his battle with cancer, Margaret decided to put his illustrations into a book. Not only did the students get to hear Margaret's story, but they also received their own personal copies of the book so they could study Sean’s illustrations up close. Thank you, Margaret, for sharing this wonderful tribute to the talents and spirit of your son.
