The MacLaren celebrates the creative talents of Simcoe County students in Portfolio, an annual juried exhibition of works by graduating Grade 12 students. This year, the MacLaren received artworks from across the region. Forty artworks have been selected for this exhibition.
Portfolio is an opportunity to highlight the accomplishments of these aspiring artists, and to draw attention to the strong visual arts programs in Simcoe County high schools. Participating schools include Banting Memorial High School (Alliston); Bear Creek Secondary School (Barrie); Innisdale Secondary School (Barrie); Maple Ridge Secondary School (Barrie); Nantyr Shores Secondary School (Innisfil); École Secondaire Catholique Nouvelle-Alliance (Barrie) and Twin Lakes Secondary School (Orillia).
The jurors for Portfolio 2024 are Toronto-based curator and writer Katie Lawson and Yasmeen Kazak, Curatorial Assistant at the MacLaren Art Centre.
The MacLaren thanks all students and their teachers who participated in Portfolio 2024!
Join us and celebrate the accomplishments of these aspiring artists at the opening reception for Portfolio 2024 on Saturday, June 8 from 1 to 3 pm at the MacLaren. Remarks are at 1:30 pm in the Carnegie Room. All are welcome!
