Art Downtown

On the past Thursday August 7, a group of Gr.8-11 students participated in Art Downtown at Lot 19 and hosted the Florescence Charity Bazaar! Students had a wonderful time selling donated artworks, with all proceeds going towards UBC and VGH Hospital Foundation. So far, a total of $160 has been raised! At the same time Rosy, as the project manager of this event, also being given an interview by the Vancouver Visual Arts Foundation with honor. Her on-site landscape painting was also sold immediately before it got complete. The two gentlemen waited for 2 hours for the completion. There will be more fundraising events in the future, and I believe that students can continue to raise more donations.

Art Downtown is an outdoor summer art festival where both new and established artists are encouraged to create and sell their work in an open setting that will inspire others and change the way quality art is circulated.

Congratulations to student Nicolas for winning 1st Place and Summer for winning 2nd Place in the 2025 Art Master competition at the Art Downtown event @ Lot 19! The topic being given is The Power of Touch, and their one-hour outstanding creativity and dedication truly stood out among the many talented participants. As a recognition of their achievement, Nicolas received a brand-new Air Fryer, and Summer received a basket of treats—an inspiring reward to support their future journey. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishment and can't wait to see what they create next!
