VAB member Conrad Mieschke has his artwork on the cover of The Brampton Guardian. Shown was "Farm Horse". This is his second year in a row with work on the cover.

Previously, member Keith Moreau had two works on the cover, including one of his son Nicholas, as the New Year's baby.

The Brampton Guardian: More VAB classes

More VAB classes

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

Due to demand, Visual Arts Brampton will be adding a session for 6- and 7-year-olds to its Saturday youth classes.

It will run during the morning timeslot, but will be taught by a former VAB student Ilichna Morasky, who is now in her third year at Sheridan College, studying illustration.

Morasky will be teaching weekly from 9:45 to 11:15 a.m., while Keith Moreau will be holding his 8- to 12-year-old sessions from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Saturdays.

VAB is located at One Bartley Bull Parkway in the lower level of the Bartley Square Mall (corner of Hwy. 10 and Steeles Avenue). For information, call 905-453-9142 or visit visualartsbrampton.com.

"Youth Awards handed out to top kid artists"

Now on TheBramptonNews.com "Youth Awards handed out to top kid artists".

Still no word on when the youth segment will air on First Local, we'll keep you up to date.

Youth Achievement Awards 2006

Here's a link to the photos:

If anyone has their own group shots they'd like to be added, either of each medal standing, or their child with a few friends, by all means send them to us (visualartsbrampton@gmail.com) and we'll post them.

No word just yet on when the awards ceremony segment will air on First Local, channel Rogers 10.

Also, we'll be investigating getting a nearby school gym for next year, to provide more space for the ceremonies. We'll probably try to book either Davis or Helen Wilson, both are fairly close to the studio, and would provide a less-cramped situation.

"The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated"

That quote thanks to Mark Twain. Turns out the Bulletin will resume in early 2007, under the stewardship of a new editor, Dave Marshall.

This of course corrects a previous post, called "Brampton Bulletin is dead".

Award ceremony info

The youth art was judged on Monday night, by nine of our adult members. It took them from 7:15 to after 11:00 pm to judge things.

WHO GOT WHAT AWARD: We're not going to tell anyone, until the ceremony happens. There were three or four honourable mentions, the rest of the 45 entrants all got either bronze, silver, or gold medallions.

WHEN IS THE CEREMONY?: The award ceremonies are next Saturday--that's December 16.

• Doors will open around 10:45 am
• Award ceremonies will start at 11:00 am
• We hope to actually start handing out the awards by 11:15 am
• By noon we should be done handing out the awards, at this point it's the pizza party.

IS THERE A CLASS THAT WEEK?: There are no classes that week, so don't bother showing up at 9:30 am, 1:00 pm, or 3:15 pm for the regular classes. Every year at two or three people do, so don't.

WHAT'S TO EAT?: Pizza, mainly. We'll have other stuff too, snacks.

CAN I HELP?: If you want to bring food to the party, any sort of finger food, feel free to do so.

Whodunit? Mary Chorniuk, that's who.

http://www.ocad.ca/about_ocad/support_ocad/benefit_events.htm

Member Mary Chorniuk was one of the artists participating at the Whodunit? OCAS Mystery Art Sale. As their website says "It’s an exhibition and sale of pieces of original art by well-known and celebrity artists, faculty, alumni and students."

Gaining in popularity year after year, the Whodunit? OCAD Mystery Art Sale offers hundreds of original works donated by Canadian artists and creative celebrities. Every piece measures 5½ x 7½ inches and each piece is $75. The mystery -- who created the art -- is solved only after the piece is bought and turned over to reveal the artist's name on the back.

Margaret Atwood, Bruce Cockburn, Tony Urquhart, Mary Pratt and Christopher Pratt were all celebrity contributors to the show.
