Memories Revisited - A Teacher's Return is a celebration of Lynn Kenneth Pecknold's art education experience over 30 years of teaching. Mr. Pecknold, who invested 11 years teaching art education to students in Coquitlam, will display his work in the Leonore Peyton Salon during the month of June. This exhibit is dedicated to the students who have blessed the artist with the many fond memories and relationships that were created during this time.
Place des Arts' Annual Student Exhibition will be displayed in the Atrium Gallery. Highlighting work created by students during our 2011-2012 season, this exhibition will celebrate the creative achievements of Place des Arts' students and inspire the artist in everyone. Student musicians, ranging from fiddlers to pianists, will also celebrate their work as artists through a variety of performances at the opening reception from 7:00-9:00pm.
The culmination of work by students in Don Portelance's Art Enhancement Workshop will be on display in the Mezzanine gallery. Combining studio sessions with field trips, this program focuses on media, style and ideas to provide focused learning for students ages 14 to 20 who are serious about improving their artistic ability.

Around the Inlet, a multiple media exhibition by Suite E Life Drawing Group, will be displayed in the Atrium Gallery. The group hopes to open your eyes to what you can see, from both a distance and closeup, "around the inlet." Sometimes, simply a certain light can make a mundane view suddenly special. There is an abundance of subject matter to choose from around an inlet, and the artists hope you find something in their works that resonates with you. The Suite E Life Drawing Group enjoys discovering something new about things they walk or drive past every day and invite you to do the same and discover the beauty that resides right in your own back yard.

"Nothing was left to wonder about in each situation. I felt the meaning of community in Place des Arts. People actually attended because of a column about me in your local newspaper."
