Weekly Round Up... And A Few More Things

I want to use my weekly round up post to amplify the phenomenal, dynamic, and rich BFA virtual graduation show of Kwantlen Polytechnic Universities Fine Arts students titled 17/21. I have had the pleasure and honour of instructing and working with almost all of these graduating students over the past four years, and they have produced one of the strongest graduating shows in recent memory. This is not a surprise given the difficulties and unprecedented challenges of Covid-19 and our pandemic reality, and I believe this cohort has successfully embraced their role as artists entering into what will be an uncharted post-pandemic future.

Click on the image below to see and experience the virtual exhibition, and give their Instagram account a follow along with the KPU Fine Arts Instagram page, which the grad class will be taking over through early May as they showcase a new student each day and feature their collective talents through posts and stories.
