The Helen Stannard Memorial Fundraiser 2024: Creating Perspective in Watercolour Landscapes Workshop
Join us for our “Helen Stannard Memorial Workshop!” This year, Teaching Artist Marta Scythes, a fellow print maker and friend of Helen Stannard, will offer “Perspective in Watercolour Landscapes.” 100% of the funds raised will go towards KSOA, and all participants will be eligible for a charitable tax receipt. Helen Stannard was one of the founding members of the KSOA. Helen and her husband, John, were instrumental in storing and then setting up the printmaking studio at KSOA. Their goal was to provide a space for the Kingston printmaking community once St. Lawrence College closed down its visual arts program in 1995. Helen was an exceptional printmaker, with a unique style and palette. All materials are included in this class, but students are invited to bring supplementary supplies. Sunday 26 May | 10 am - 3 pm (5 hours) Teaching Artist: Marta Scythes Audience: Ages 16+ |
LDSB Pride Quilt InitiativeThis program, in partnership with Limestone District School Board, invited students to participate in the collaborative creation of a Pride Quilt. Each square was created by a student from LDSB. The Pride Quilt is an artwork that unites us all, illustrating both the beauty of individuality, as well as the inclusive message that everyone should see themselves at Limestone.
Throughout May 2023, Quilter Ruth Leblanc supported the Pride Quilt Initiative by sewing the squares together to form the Pride Quilt. This quilt was carried by Limestone staff, students, and families in both Napanee Pride and Kingston Pride Parades, and will continue to be shared in a travelling exhibit over the summer months. |
