Alternative Tentacle 4
May 16 – 30, 2009
Opening Reception: Friday, May 22, 7 – 10 PM
You can’t escape the grasp of Alternative Tentacle 4, a gripping exhibit by artists from nine Alternative Secondary Schools!
Building on the success of three years of packed to the rafters salon-style shows, the fourth annual art exhibition highlights the creative work done by students who do not fit into the mainstream school experience and have chosen an alternative. This show, the result of an ongoing partnership between XPACE and a family of alternative highschools, provides a supportive educational experience for youth to learn and contribute to the local cultural community and serves as a launching pad for young artists to share their unique creative voices with the broader public. Alternative Schools in the Toronto District School Board have demonstrated over 40 years of commitment to the arts and have had a large number of students go on to post-secondary art institutions and arts-related careers in Toronto and beyond.
