Stories that Live in the Present, Kamloops 2018 exhibition and fundraiser celebrates
the 12th year of this unique opportunity for youth to represent our community
through artistic vision.
Beginning with
a field trip and tour by Keely Bland (Museum Educator) at the Kamloops Museum
& Archives, South Kamloops Secondary art students consider the importance
of local history. Student artists
engage in a personal artistic inquiry that identifies, reflects on, and
captures the unique and richly diverse community voices of the region. Our focus is to share visual narratives that
reflect on how acknowledging and knowing the past is significant as Kamloops
moves towards the future.

and cards were selected from a special community jury: Keely
Bland, Kamloops Museum & Archives; Christina Gauley, SD73 Arts Education
Coordinator; Mr. Peter Persad, SKSS Vice Principal and Ms. Michelle Mattes,
