Fifth year for "Being Scene:" Cross Currents Summer 2004

At the Centre

"Edward," by Alan Parker -- one of the works on exhibit at Being Scene

Fifty-three artists who have received services from CAMH for addiction and mental health are showcasing their work at the fifth annual Being Scene art exhibition. His Honour, James K. Bartleman, the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario and an Honourary Patron of CAMH, helped open the exhibit and the Jean Simpson Studio on June 30.

The popular exhibit covers the Queen, Russell, and College Street sites, and features 76 new works. A three-member jury led by Lupe Rodriguez, artist, lecturer and CBC commentator, selected these works from over 300 that were submitted. Juror Anna Hudson, Associate Curator, Canadian Art at the AGO says, "It is a rare treat to deal with such a range and breadth of creative talent. Making choices among such diversity and poignant individuality is a tremendous challenge." All artists exhibiting their work at Being Scene receive artist's fees. The works, which will be on display for a year, are also for sale. Exhibition hours are 10 a.m-8 p.m. daily at all sites.
