The Eclectica Exhibition takes place from May 15th – May 17th. Selected by a jury, the top five pieces of art will be auctioned off by professional auctioneer, Wayne MacDonald, in a Live Auction during the Opening Reception on May 15th. There will also be Silent Auction and set price pieces for sale. When asked about the scope of the event, Art Teacher, Monica Rojo said “This show is not only about celebrating the art work the students have created throughout the year but allows the real world to be their classroom. By producing a group exhibition, they learn and exercise the practical and professional skills of artists: collaborating, producing art with purpose, on a deadline, and for public viewing.”

The show offers something for all tastes, with many mediums and styles on display. By selling their pieces, the students also learn about pricing, selling, sharing profit, and letting go of their work. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Ivar Mendez International Foundation for their Arts Program for underprivileged children in rural Bolivia. The remainder of sales revenue continues the learning experience for these artists as they share it with the Gallery (the Arts Department of Fountain Academy). This portion is then put back into the art program to be used for materials, tools, Artist Studio visits, and Visiting Artists in the classroom.

Don’t miss this exhibition of art created by talented student artists, work that is sure to please and inspire.
Please join us on Wednesday, May 15th from 6:30-9:00 pm for our Opening Reception and to meet the artists in the Little Theatre at Sacred Heart School on Spring Garden Road. Admission is FREE, refreshments will be served, and donations are welcomed!
