Last night, the Landscapes exhibit was installed at Artway. Featured in the exhibit is long-time Visual Arts Brampton member Conrad Mieschke. Also on display are Luis Barrios, Marguerite Finlayson, Dolores Miron, William H. Simmons (pictured, hanging one of his works).

Also installed last night was the National Youth Week exhibit, presented in partnership with the City of Brampton Arts, Culture & Theatre department. Original and reproduced artwork was submitted to the Rose Theatre and Pearson Theatre by the public, and to the studio by our youth students. The result is a great, diversely-themed show in our Fridge Front Gallery space.
