VIU Art and Design students showcase their work

The dedication, creativity and talent of


Vancouver Island University Art and Design students will be on display at


several venues throughout Nanaimo as part of Progressions 2010.

For the first time, Interior Design and Graphic


Design fourth-year students will be showing their work at the Nanaimo Art


Gallery downtown. The show runs until May 8. 

Additional student visual art including


paintings, ceramics, drawings, photography, and prints are showcased at the


Nanaimo Art Gallery on campus and the Visual and Applied Arts Building (B325).

Graphic design students’ work featuring posters,


ads, and book covers, and interior design students’ floor plan displays are


featured in the Malaspina Theatre (B310) and the Cafeteria on campus.

 “It is a poignant moment when you see art


works on the wall and all the hard work over the year come into fruition,” said


Gregory Ball, Co-chair of the Department of Art and Design, Visual Arts.

VIU students in Graphic Design, Interior Design


and Visual Arts will be honoured at the Progressions


2010 awards and celebration event

community are welcome to attend the ceremony, which is followed by the official
