Art @ The Arts Resource Centre
Exhibition Program
Art @ The ARC (Arts Resource Centre) is an exhibition program dedicated to displaying emerging artists, arts educators and student artwork. Recognizing the unique role of the Arts Resource Centre within the City of Oshawa, the artwork displayed reflects the goals of the building: delivering arts education, honing artistic and creative skills, and celebrating local talent.
The space is located in the hallways of the Arts Resource Centre and rotates throughout the year displaying artworks and projects.
Current Exhibition
Art @ the ARC is proud to showcase a selection of works from students in the Visual Arts Program at G L Roberts Collegiate Vocational Institute under the guidance of the department head and art teacher Ms. Carrie Davis. The collection of works on display highlight the variety of techniques, medium and skill sets that the students engage with as part of the curriculum. Those selected for the exhibition are some of the best examples from each classroom exercise.
G L Roberts Collegiate Vocational Institute believes that "through participation in the arts, students can develop their creativity, learn about their own identity, and develop self-awareness, self-confidence, and a sense of well-being. Since artistic activities involve intense engagement, students experience a sense of wonder and joy when learning through the arts, which can motivate them to participate more fully in cultural life and in other educational opportunities."
