The annual Collab'ART event is held at Central Middle School in Victoria, British Columbia. Twenty professional artists in the area are invited to work with middle school students to provide an apprentice-master experience in visual art. I was fortunate to be among those selected to participate in this adventure. 

The programme has a double purpose. Firstly, to inspire young students who have an interest in art, but limited exposure to professionals in the field. Each artist is matched to a student with whom they work for the day.  Working together, Ayan and I were able to tackle and complete two 16" x 20" images in oil on canvas.

Secondly, Collab'ART  raises funds with an exhibition and live auction of all of the artwork. A wonderful art adventure for students, artists and the community. It was such fun connecting with a young artist , as it brought back memories of those who inspired me along the way.
