Masked.
Virtual Exhibition with Canterbury Visual Arts
Masked is a show that explores the experiences of young artists during the pandemic. The impacts of Covid-19 have resulted in many artistic opportunities and experiences being cut short, especially for youth, so The Niche Ottawa Gallery has responded by providing a space for the sharing of these experiences and the exploration of youth artist's resilience. Resilient these students truly are, not only bravely facing this past year but by carrying on with and developing their creativity and craft. The visual arts students of Canterbury High School were enthusiastic to have a show and ultimately came up with the concept of Masked, to represent the face mask we all must wear during this pandemic but also for the emotions one has masked in this difficult year. When entering the virtual exhibition, many factors were implemented to provide all seeing this show with the closest to in person at The Niche Ottawa Gallery, as possible, providing this developed body of works, testimonials/discussion from the artists, a curated playlist of songs that helped the artists throughout quarantine, and community uplift by means of a donation to the local charity of the Odawa Native Friendship Center Covid Relief fund. So much heart on the part of the gallery and our artists went into this show so we hope you enjoy this virtual experience.
