First of all, I would like to say that, in my opinion, the Art Show was a success. This success came despite a lack of media and despite a small elevator issue. I would like to apologize to the cohort for the lack of media. I contact the UNBC Communications Director, The Prince George Citizen, The Free Press and CKPG and, unfortunately, no one was represented. After the Art Show I sent another email to UNBC, along with a picture, that I am hoping will find its way to the front page of the UNBC website. Only time will tell. I believe that having the media present to celebrate events like this is very important for the student artists as it celebrates their successes in a public way. I have been able to acquire media for other events, so again, my apologies. If anyone is interested in some of the photos I took of the event, please send me an email (kerswell@unbc.ca). I have posted a few of the pictures to the blog for your viewing pleasure. :-)
Aparently I can not add any more images so I will create a second post with some other pictures.

The local media may not have made it to the Art Show, but sometime is Think that this is something that the adults get more out of than the kids. The children were very pleased!! They saw their art work recognized by teacher(s), family, and peers. This recognition was memorable because it took place in a community setting.
I was one of the "goat herders" who helped people find the Teaching and Learning Building, before the children even saw their work displayed they were beaming. From the perspective of the children = it was a successful event.
Hi Linda,
I love your pictures, could you share some with me, as my camera was dying and my pictures ended up blurry. I loved the art fair. All of my students showed up and then some others came just to show their support. I am planning on making up some certificates of appreaciation for the students who came (using a word template). Thank you for sharing!
I am happy to see the photos - I haven't gotten a chance to upload my own yet or take a look at anyone else's!
All you can do is do what you can. Although the Art Show opening night may not have had much coverage, I have heard a number of people around the building but not in our program talk about how much they appreciate the Art. It is a nice building, but it can be a bit on the stark side, and the colour and variety of the art takes some of that away. I suspect that we will miss the art when we come back in January, after it is all gone, so some pictures around the classroom would be a nice touch.
Hi all, thanks for your responses! If you would like some photos, please send me an email and I will reply with some photos. :-) Sorry, I need reminders these days!
