SOUND and SIGHT: The Art of Music
School District 22 High Schools
|
|
This exhibition features a selection of pieces from the fine arts students of School District #22 Secondary Schools. Gallery Vertigo is extremely pleased to host the sixth annual exhibit of up and coming artists. |
Ludwig von Beethoven by Naya Choi |
Bead It by Ashley Smith
The exhibition features work created by students of Charles Bloom, Clarence Fulton Secondary, Vernon Senior Secondary, W.L.Seaton Secondary and Kalamalka Secondary schools. Many different approaches and techniques are represented and submissions include 2-D and 3-D works in a wide variety of mediums as well as performances on opening night. The result is a glimpse of the issues, passions, and talents that are budding and burning in local youth culture relating visual art with music and sound.
A huge thank you is due to our local high school art teachers for their cheerful participation. A considerable effort is required to plan and organize an exhibition involving this many artists and pieces and the teachers do a splendid job of pulling it all together. Ultimately, it is the artists, whose enthusiasm make this exhibition both a successful and an inspirational one each year. As evidenced by the excellent work in this show, the future looks bright for the arts here in Vernon! Judith Jurica - Executive Director, Gallery Vertigo

Kalamalka Vertigo at Okanagan College:
Destanne Norris: Selected Works from the Embodied Pool Series
Artist Talk: Gallery Vertigo on Thursday, January 27 at 7 pm
(The current exhibition can be viewed during college hours from January 11th until February 25th.)
|
|
Selected works from artist, Destanne Norris’, Embodied Pool Series will be on exhibit at Kalamalka Vertigo from January 11 to February 25th. These paintings were completed as part of the phase she refers to as, Inscape, during her Master of Fine Art research project. A passion for natural environments and the elements, especially mountains and water, are the source of my artistic inspiration. Landscape and place, metaphor and symbol, embodiment and Romanticism are my research interests. An overarching theme in my landscape painting is the mirroring of ‘inscape’ and ‘landscape’.
Through my art, I have discovered the power art can play in self-discovery and healing. (Norris)
In conjunction with her exhibition, Norris will be giving an artist talk at Gallery Vertigo on Thursday, January 27th at 7 pm. Her visual presentation entitled, Life, Nature, Art & Healing, encapsulates her journey and practice as an artist from her undergraduate days to her Master of Fine Art studies to the present day.

Norris`paintings have been exhibited in public, university and artist-run galleries and is represented in numerous private and corporate
