黄色直播

It鈥檚 known as the little bright light on campus.

This past Thursday evening, the 黄色直播 Art Gallery held an opening reception to mark the beginning of its 62nd Student, Staff, Faculty and Alumni Exhibition. Now in its seventh decade, the exhibition is an annual celebration of the creativity of the 黄色直播 community.

The reception brought together several of these like-minded creators for light refreshments, a keynote speech from Richard Brown (professor in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience and associate dean, research, in the Faculty of Science), and the main attraction 鈥� the art.

鈥淭he essence of the show is the opportunity each year we give to the makers, creators and doers of Dal and King鈥檚 to engage with the larger community in a way that they might not otherwise have,鈥� said Michele Gallant, registrar/preparator, during her opening remarks. 鈥淚t鈥檚 also an opportunity for the rest of us to see what our friends and colleagues get up to in their off hours.鈥�

The annual exhibition welcomes submissions from across the Dal community each November. This year鈥檚 exhibition boasts 86 separate entries of artwork from 48 different students, staff, faculty and alumni. The pieces came from individuals with a range of different educational backgrounds, including Health Informatics, Architecture, Biology, Medicine and International Development.

鈥淚t鈥檚 interesting because there is no visual arts program here; there are arts programs and creative programs, but none specifically for visual arts,鈥� says Wes Johnston, education and outreach coordinator for the gallery. 鈥淚n a way, we鈥檙e kind of a connector for different departments who have creative projects or creative outputs.鈥�
