Fine Arts/Performing Arts

Nipissing University’s Department of Fine and Performing Arts has launched an online exhibition titled At a distance: Reflections on a year in quarantine. The exhibition showcases a selection of artwork produced by Fine Arts (FAVA) students during the pandemic that reflect on a year in quarantine.

This past June a group of students was fortunate enough to partake in an intensive ten-day course in Carrara Italy carving marble at Studio Corsanini with guest artists Stephen Shaheen and Fred X Brownstein.

Nipissing University fine arts instructor, Anyse Ducharme, is one of 40 artists participating in the biennial Fair of Alternative Art in Sudbury (FAAS), Oct 24-28 at decommissioned elementary school, St-Louis de Gonzague (162 Mackenzie Street).

Nipissing Fine Arts graduate Gerald McComb, BFA’17, has been working as a guest artist as part of the new MAMO – Indigenous Artist Residency Program. 

There is no shortage of big heads on the third floor of F-wing thanks to Fine Arts students, who have installed their Big Head drawing project in the hallway and in the president’s office. The eight drawings, by FAVA 2506 Figure Study students, will be on exhibit until the end of reading week, February 23, 2018.
