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.

John Knox Christian School at Silver Clips

Visual Arts Brampton will welcome John Knox Christian School to the new Silver Clips Artworks Gallery on Monday, when representatives from the school will arrive with student artwork, including pieces themed to Easter.

While most art at Silver Clips will be reproduced, the hanging system also allows for works on paper and light board to be hung, as is the case with this upcoming show.

John Knox is a multi-denominational Christian school founded in 1959, that offers junior kindergarden through grade 8. They exhibited at Silver Clips' predecessor, Fridge Front Gallery, in 2009, and twice in 2010.

The student section of Silver Clips is open to all local schools; the rest of the cases are open to all, of any age, from anywhere, see website for details on the process. The gallery space is located in the northwest corner of Shoppers World Brampton, in the entry corridor between Winners and Bluenotes.

John Knox returns with another show

John Knox Christian School's Christmas-themed exhibit has been so popular, we've invited them back for January. On Friday afternoon, staff from the school will be switching over from one set of art to another.

Fridge Front Gallery is open to any school in the GTA: any grade, public or private, can exhibit any art projects they choose, for a two-week period. Fridge Front also features artwork by Visual Arts Brampton's youth class students, with theming based on Artway Gallery's schedule of exhibitions.

Following the John Knox exhibit are shows by Mayfield's Regional Arts Program and of Canada's Paralympic athletes.
