Visual Arts Brampton is once again proud to participate in the Youth Arts Program at the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. The Youth Arts Program was launched in 2012 by the Honourable Dave Levac, to celebrate the incredible artistic talents of young Ontarians aged 12-18.

Several students from our Art FUNdamentals program were invited to submit their work for display throughout the Legislative Building from now until the end of March.

On the evening of November 30th, artists were invited to attend the opening reception held at the Legislative Building. Visual Arts Brampton student Alicia Pacheco was presented with the Youth Arts Speaker's Choice Award by the Honourable Dave Levac for her piece titled What I Once Was.

Congratulations to Alicia for her achievement, and to all the other students who have their work on display.

Artwork from members of Visual Arts Brampton is now on display at Brampton City Hall as part of their Art in the Atrium program. Enjoy viewing a variety of subjects and media including oil, watercolour, pencil and photography. Works from our members will be on display from November 1 to 30 during business hours just inside the main entrance to city hall. After city hall, the work will continue showing in our studio gallery.
