The Blyth Festival Art Gallery’s
Student Show 2019 will kick off the
gallery’s 44th season of exhibitions.
This annual celebration of student
creativity will feature the best work
by students in Grades 9 to 12 in
Huron and Perth County secondary
school art programs. Visitors can
view the show in the Bainton Gallery
of the Blyth Memorial Hall. Many
different artistic techniques will be
featured, including mixed media,
sculpture, photography, drawing,
painting, printmaking and digital
illustration.
For more than 25 years, art
teachers from the Avon Maitland
District School Board and the Huron
Perth Catholic School Board have
encouraged student participation in
the annual Student Show. Each year,
the artworks are properly mounted
or framed for the show, teaching the
students the value of professional
presentation.
Five Awards of Excellence of $100
will be presented to outstanding
student artists, reinforcing the sense
that their artwork is valued by the
public attending the venue.
The Student Show 2019 is
presented by the Blyth Festival Art
Gallery and sponsored by
Mary Carroll in memory of
Paul Carroll. The Student Award
Sponsor is Fred Waltham. Bruce
Stainton will curate this exhibition
of exciting art, full of youthful
energy and creative ideas.
The exhibition officially opens
with a celebratory reception in the
Bainton Gallery (next to the Blyth
Festival box office) at 6 p.m.,
Thursday, May 9. All teachers,
students, parents and members of the
public are invited to the reception to
join in the festivities. Refreshments
will be served.
Visitors wishing to purchase a
piece of art will be put directly in
touch with the student artist, with the
gallery taking no commission.
The Student Show 2019 will be
open to the public during Blyth
Festival box office hours, from
May 9 until Thursday, May 16,
9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Artists of all types – hobbyists,
amateur crafters, professional
artisans and recognized visual artists
are invited to submit original art in
any media to the Blyth Festival Art
Gallery for its annual non-juried
Community Show. This exhibition
provides a venue for talented
individuals to gain exposure to both
a local audience and theatre goers. It
may even be a way to achieve a
career breakthrough.

up to two pieces to the Bainton
Gallery situated in the Blyth

box office on Saturday, May 18
