Christmas art at Shoppers World, via John Knox school

From now until early January 2012, Christmas art by students from John Knox Christian School is on display at Shoppers World Brampton.

The exhibit is at Silver Clips Artworks Gallery (formerly youth-only space Fridge Front Gallery), in the shopping centre's northwest entry corridor, just south of Winners.

The school was founded in 1959 by the Christian Reformed Church, and has an enrollment of over 300 students. The school first exhibited with VAB in December 2009, and has had shows annual at Christmas since, as well as a few shows in other months.

'Tis the Season, John Knox on exhibit at SWB

In today's issue of The Brampton Guardian (the Weekend edition), check out the article on John Knox Christian School's exhibit of Christmas art, "Fridge Front gallery gets festive".

Both the John Knox show and 'Tis the Season, our adult exhibit, went in today. On display are Stan Adams, William Band, Stephanie Czolij, Marguerite Finlayson, Conrad Mieschke, Dolores Miron, Marian Simpson, Warren Simpson, and Jacqueline Veltri.

Both exhibits run until January 4, 2010.

Santa's Arrival Parade, Nov. 22

Visual Arts Brampton is just one of the dozens of community groups participating in the "Santa's Arrival Parade" at Shoppers World Brampton. Held at 11 am, November 22, this fun event does a full, counter-clockwise circuit of the mall.

To celebrate the mall's 40th anniversary, the parade's goal this year was 40 community groups participating. Each year, the variety includes marching bands, characters like Cinderella and Belle, and Santa himself.

It's a nice change, compared to freezing in the cold and the dark, watching the downtown parade.

Pictures of VAB and other participants, previous years, are posted in VAB's Picasa account.

Guardian: "Designer featured at Artway"

Back on the 19th, Devere Wint was mentioned in The Brampton Guardian. On page 10 of the paper, it talks about Devere being the featured artist in 'Tis the Season.

Strangely, the article doesn't appear on the website. We're investigating.
