  • Expressions 49: Breaking Through

4 May - 2 June, 2024

Highlighting perspectives and experiences of the next generation of artists in our community, Expressions is an annual exhibition that celebrates student artwork from across the Region. This year, students respond to the theme Breaking Through, inspired by Quinn Hearnden’s ceramic sculpture of the same title. Artists were invited to explore concepts of perseverance, resilience, innovation and illumination while reflecting on breakthrough experiences of discovery and revelation.

InSight is a special opportunity for one local classroom to collaborate with a local contemporary artist on the creation of new thematic artworks to be featured in Expressions. This year, artist Grace Boileau was paired with Emma Cherry’s grade 4 class from St. Teresa Catholic Elementary School in Kitchener to collaborate on this year’s InSight artwork.
