Fresh Paint \/ New Construction is our critically acclaimed annual student exhibition of contemporary art. Now in its 12th year, the event includes forty-four emerging painters and sculptors from fourteen institutions across Canada. This year we are very pleased to be working with Emily Carr University of Art + Design, Alberta College of Art and Design, University of Manitoba, University of Waterloo, York University, OCAD University, University of Western Ontario, University of Ottawa, Concordia University, UQAM, Bishop\u2019s University, Universit\u00e9 Laval, NSCAD University, and the Grenfell Campus Memorial University of Newfoundland.<\/p>\n

This major event has proven to be a sure-fire hit with our visitors, time and again. Each year, we invite faculty members from each university to recommend students who stand out for the exceptional quality and originality of their work. Then, the gallery makes a final selection of participants and chooses within their production a collection of pieces for the show. This recurring project provides an invaluable educational experience for the students. It allows them to show their work in a professional context and initiates contact with dealers, critics, curators, collectors and other members of the art community.<\/p>\n

There are more art collectors today than ever before and many of them share an acute interest in emerging contemporary art. Over the years, Fresh Paint \/ New Construction has become a well-established event for up-and-coming talent and every year collectors and gallery-goers eagerly await the opportunity to discover Canada\u2019s next generation of painters and sculptors with undeniable potential.
