Another wonderful afternoon of celebrating emerging Canadian artists took place at Toronto’s URBAN GALLERY as students from the Centennial College Studio Arts program opened their 2 week exhibition of multi-media works. FEVER showcases 25 emerging artists who explore the frontiers deeply submerged within the box.
Under the guidance of Program Coordinator Prof. David McClyment, the 1st year students enjoyed their first professional gallery experience including meeting media and schmoozing with art fans, friends and family who came out to support them. 
Here’s Prof. McClyment (below L) with some of his student artists…
The unique and provocative work by Priscilla Koopman attracted many new fans, including Jenny Huddy, a visitor from Australia who is pictured (below R) with Priscilla (L)
Here’s Matthew Oakes who proudly posed alongside his work….
Another favourite was this unique double sided painting and clay sculpture self-portrait of Joy who attracted a lot of camera attention…
And so many more wonderful artworks to view….
Urban Gallery’s curator Allen Shugar (below R) chatted with the students….
…and gallery director Calvin Hambrook (below R) greeted artists and their guests at the front door…
The reception was catered by the adjoining UrbanSource Catering…oooh yummm!
Congratulations to Prof. McClyment and his students on a great show…
You have until April 1st to visit and support these emerging stars of the Canadian art world. For gallery hours, visit: www.urbangallery.ca
POST SCRIPT: There was big excitement for one young artist – Dara Collins – when her beautiful mixed-media (with tiny twinkling lights) of a mountain scene called “Unrefined Illusions” was sold at the end of the opening reception. The buyer was art lover David Currah from Fife House. Bravo and congratulations to Dara – pictured below with her artwork.
