“The ASK student art show is a fantastic opportunity for our students to publicly exhibit their work,” said Heather Castellan, CDS Head of the Visual Arts. “As artists, having the ability and willingness of a gallery to showcase our work helps us to connect with the larger community outside our doors.”

“For the graduating students, it gives them something to strive for in the creation of their work, as well as an opportunity to discuss their experiences with prospective post-secondary institutions. As well, it provides the graduates with an opportunity to witness and see how a gallery show comes together in preparation for their GradX show in May.”
The 20 pieces that were selected from the CDS art classes offer a representative window into what our Senior School students’ capabilities really are. If you haven’t already done so, we encourage you to stop by the King Township Museum located at 2920 King Road, just east of Jane Street, to see this exhibit over March Break. They are open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
