Students proudly display the Museum and Gallery Studies installations.
Museum and Gallery Studies students have been busy installing art exhibitions around Barrie. Works from the Campus Gallery permanent collection have been chosen, framed and installed with two different audiences in mind.
At the Mady Centre for the Performing Arts, students installed vibrant prints and drawings by Graham Cantieni, some made in the Georgian print studio in the early ’90s.
At the Barrie Family Courthouse, students installed serigraphs produced by the National Gallery in the late ’40s. These prints, known as the Sampson Mathers Silkscreens, were sent across Canada to municipal buildings and institutions as a promotion of unity and national identity. The Campus Gallery has a collection of 80 of these rare iconic images.
The Barrie Family Courthouse held a reception with lawyer and arts advocate Justice Ollah presiding. This is the fourth exhibition installed in these locations by Georgian students.
