One will feature photography by local high school students and the other will feature etchings by an Indigenous artist.
WOODSTOCK - Two new art exhibits are being displayed at the Art Gallery this spring, including photography by local high school students as well as etchings by an Indigenous artist.
The photography features nine young artists from the Woodstock Art Gallery’s 2025 March Break Art Camp. The display is nature inspired from the students' time at Lions Trail.
The second new exhibit includes 3 prints from Carl Beam’s ‘The Columbus Suite’ collection. Beam was a groundbreaking Ojibwe artist from Manitoulin Island, a residential school survivor and a prominent advocate for Indigenous rights.
The Columbus Suite is a series of 12-large etchings on paper. They include a collage of imagery from Indigenous and Western Colonial histories layered with horizontal lines, numbers, letters, formulas, faint scribbles, paint blotches and text.
The exhibit will be in the first floor lobby and will be on display throughout June for Indigenous History Month as well as National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21st.
On top of the new exhibitions, The Gallery will be holding a Student Open House on June 18th from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. to celebrate Natural Connections and the recipient of the 2025 Friends of the Woodstock Art Gallery Legacy Scholarship.
Each year, $1,000 is awarded to a graduating high school student from Oxford County pursuing post-secondary education in the arts. The recipient’s artwork will be exhibited at the Gallery this summer. Students have until 11 a.m. today to apply online.
