Not a ‘mirage’

Exhibition of visual art proves Rockway Mennonite Collegiate is about more than music



Kitchener, Ont.

Karen Scott Booth, head of Rockway Mennonite Collegiate’s Grade 10-12 visual arts program, exudes pride in the work of her students.

“Mirage: An exhibition of visual art,” held at the school on April 24, 2018, showed why.

Working in many media—acrylic on canvas, watercolour, printmaking of many kinds, multimedia, industrial design and drama—the evening was a feast for the senses. Visual arts predominated, but music and food made the café memorable as well.

Proceeds from the café go to an award for a senior student each year.

Students are not aiming low, as a number applied to Sheridan College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning in animation, and international student Lei Tian was accepted at Central Saint Martins, a constituent college of the University of the Arts in London, England.
