A square color photo made by handholding a pinhole camera for an exposure of a few seconds or so. The blurry, warm tone photo shows a figure walking in the ocean near the shore. There is a fractured sun in the sky.

Student led anti-racism art exhibit showcases Island talent and care Five Grade 12 students at Colonel Gray High School in Charlottetown organized Unity in Diversity: Anti Racism Art Exhibition. Students contributed posters with the theme of anti-racism. CBC's Jane Robertson was there for the opening gala.

Meet Us Halfway is so impressed by this IB student led #anti-racism art initiative that is on view in Charlottetown at Blank Canvas Art Supplies. Fantastic leadership! #PEI #Charlottetown www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

I guess I should properly introduce myself! My name is Dave and I’m a nature and portrait photographer from Prince Edward Island with an insatiable curiosity for the beauty of the world and its inhabitants.

I’m loving it here on BlueSky and really appreciate all the connections and interactions!

Typically, for Halifax’s beloved conceptual performance and installation artist and #NSCAD teacher, the works use directness and sly humour to undercut formality, complacency, pomposity and other barriers to the pleasures and provocations of art.

Various works assembled from humble, sometimes found objects are arranged around the periphery of the space.

The exhibition’s centrepiece is the artist’s β€œdialogue with painting,” an array of tables displaying discarded canvases from the drop-in studio, Wonderneath, next door; some of them have been altered by artist, some β€œfinished,” maybe β€œimproved,” and some left the way they were.
