The Ottawa School of Art is proud to present the graduation exhibition of the 2019 Fine Arts Diploma students. The exhibition features works by Ilayda Atak, Mallory Hanes, Shaila Hanscom, Shelby Noonan, Joel Secter and Tanis Worme. This year’s graduates of the Fine Arts Diploma program are a diverse group of six and capture the spirit of inclusivity and societal change in 2019. Collectively we call ourselves MODE as a tribute to the individualized approach we take in our studio practices. Whether we work in paint or clay, we celebrate how we experience, express, and make art differently.
The Ottawa School of Art offers a three-year pre-professional program of study in the fine arts. The works in the graduation exhibition are drawn from the third year of the program that features self-directed studio courses and apprenticeships with artists who have influenced the candidate’s development. Our graduates are independent artists who pursue increasingly varied artistic practices with individual flair. This final year has provided them with significant knowledge of the cultural context of a contemporary art career. You are invited to celebrate their success.
