An Indigenous artist and local high school students are being celebrated for their collaboration and creativity.
The Thames Art Gallery will host a reception on Friday at 7 p.m. to celebrate the opening of a pair of exhibitions — “powerlines in the distance” by Anishinaabe artist Michael Belmore and “HERE I AM,” an exhibition showcasing the work of Chatham-Kent high school students in Grades 9–12.
Attendees will have the chance to cast their votes for two People’s Choice Awards, which will be presented during the reception. A $1,000 Art Scholarship Award, donated by Cathy Van Raay-Myers, will also be presented.
“HERE I AM” will remain on display from April 4 to June 1, while “power lines in the distance” is on display until June 29.
