Canada 125 is plannin« several large,
sponsored projects this year. But they’re
counting on citizens to come up with the
grass-roots projects that constitute most
of the year-long celebration.

Some ideas from Canada 125: street par-
ties; art and music festivals; get-to-know-
your-neighbor barbecues.

Event planners and information packages
are available in the Public Information Of-

"3 to 1" Art Exhibit
features three lower
mainland Colleges

Douglas College has something no other Lower Mainland college possesses: a professional
art gallery.

So it made sense that fine art students from three Lower Mainland colleges should display
their work in a joint exhibition starting June 4 at Douglas College’s Amelia Douglas Gallery.

Appropriately titled "3 to 1," the show features about 40 works by artists from Kwantlen
College, Capilano College and Vancouver Community College (Langara campus).

"We've had a lot of response from the colleges," said Caroline Sadler, coordinator of the
gallery’s exhibition committee. "We're the only college in the Lower Mainland with a gal-
lery display area, so it seemed appropriate."

"3 to 1" will feature works by students, from first year to post-graduate, including paint-
ings, sculptures, photographs and three-dimensional pieces

And one college is bringing along a piece that falls into more than one category.

Barry Cogswell, chair of Capilano College’s visual and performing arts department, prom-
ises an unusual 60" x 94" piece, which he can only define as "a painting/sculpture."

Other contributions by Capilano include collographs - colour prints - by students from the
advanced graduate studies Art Institute.

“These pieces all show the diversity of the artists’ work," said Cogswell.

All three colleges juried the work of their fine arts students in order to bring their best to
the Douglas College show.

Kwantlen College chose its 14 pieces from a recent month-long exhibit by 55 students at
Surrey Art Gallery. The final result includes unusual three-dimensional pieces ranging from
a soapstone sculpture to a cardboard-and-latex sculpted Cupid’s head.

"We tried to represent everything," said Richard Bond, chair of Kwantlen’s fine arts depart-
ment. "It was tempting to select one area, but we decided people should see the variety of
students’ art."

"3 to 1" runs June 4 - 25 in the gallery and also in the Douglas College theatre foyer. It is
the third show to be featured at the Amelia Douglas Gallery, which opened April 2. An
opening reception for the exhibit will be held Thursday, June 4, from 7 to 9 p.m. The
Amelia Douglas Gallery and the theatre foyer are located on the fourth floor, north wing.
Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, and 11 a.m to 4:30 p.m.,
Saturday. «A
