  • Drawings by Lynn Price
    February 28th - March 24th, 2013

    Reception Sunday March 3rd 2pm-4pm

    (Idiom)
    In theory,
    as opposed to actual performance
    or fact:
    refers to a quality
    that an idea, plan or person
    seems to have when you read about them,
    but which might not show the real
    or complete situation.

    Lynn Price is a fourth year visual arts student working in drawing, painting and installation.  Her practice is an inquiry into the nature of perception and memory through repetition and accumulation.  She will graduate with a Bachelor of Visual Arts in May 2013.

  • First year student Patrick James Bravo a.k.a. Laconic, is exhibiting REBORN in the University Library window. The art installation is based on the study of human bevaiour and will be on display until March 3, 2013.

    "I want to share my colourful and playful ways in this world, hoping that I allow you to question yourself as to what you want to be? What do you want to do?"

  • As part of Lab 1: Made in Space in Speech, the library is presenting a Valentine's Day double feature Thursday evening from 7 - 8:30 pm. Two films will be shown on the main level of the library. 

    Please note that these are NOT silent films, so there will be extra noise in the library this evening. Apologies in advance if you were hoping to get serious studying done. You can always book one of the study rooms!
