BACKGROUND

All forms of creation begin with an idea. This initial idea when filtered through different forms of medium whether it is sculpture, oil painting or cartooning can provide a new understanding of ourselves and the world around us. This is an important objective for artistsand is especially critical for those working in a visual and emotional medium. Meeting the artists that live within our owncommunity and viewing their work is important today if not vital for the young artist. The arts are in danger today and it is for this reason that students need to be provided with rich life experiences. It is after all, theartists whose skills are being developed today, who will be making an impact on the arts of tomorrow
