AN ECLECTIC MIX OF MEDIUMS AND THEMES

Bianca Mozer, a fashion design alumna of NBCCD and the college’s gallery coordinator, is particularly excited for visitors to experience the wide range of artistic mediums. “It’s not often that you get to experience such a rich collection of creativity in one place. This show is a truly special opportunity to celebrate artistic talent,” says Mozer.

The exhibition spans an impressive range of mediums, from drawings in ink, crayon, and charcoal to oil and acrylic paintings. Photography will be on display, showcasing various techniques, while metal artists will present jewellery and works in sterling silver, gold, enamel, and copper. Textile design, including quilting, needle felting, draping, garment making, and beaded work, will also be featured alongside ceramics, collage, wood-working, and other explorations across the visual arts.

 

 

 

UNIQUE WORKS ON DISPLAY

Visitors will encounter a range of unique works, including solargraphy photography made with a beer can, ceramics crafted from clay and crushed rock, and a dress sculpture created from leaves and flowers. “There’s truly something for everyone in this exhibition. It’s an exciting and inspiring mix of styles and approaches,” says Mozer.

FREDERICTON’S ARTISTIC PULSE

Mozer invites the public to attend and experience Creative Reconnaissance for themselves. “This exhibition gives a rare opportunity to connect with and celebrate the creative spirit of the college community,” she says. “It’s a chance to see the many ways in which our faculty, staff, and technicians express their individual artistic visions, and to feel inspired by the creativity that thrives in the heart of downtown Fredericton.”
