Highlights

The Marianne van Silfhout Gallery

Students benefit from the the Marianne van Silfhout Gallery, a state-of-the-art community art gallery located on St. Lawrence College's Brockville campus, through the utilization of the Gallery as a learning laboratory, studying curatorial practices, with the program culminating in an exhibition of graduating students' work.

Creation of the gallery was made possible by a major half-million dollar bequest from the estate of Marianne van Silfhout, a graduate of the Fine Art program at St. Lawrence College, as well as numerous donors to the St. Lawrence College Foundation. Behind this gift is Marianne’s belief that wilderness adventure and education and art are inextricably bound together in an experience of enduring value and benefit to humanity. The bequest will also fund bursaries for both part-time and full-time Fine Arts students at St. Lawrence College.

Artists of any level and creating in all mediums are invited to submit work that reflects this theme.
All interpretations of the theme will be considered. 

Career Opportunities

Graduates of the Visual & Creative Arts - Fine Arts program may find full-time and part-time employment as self-employed fine artists or may find work in galleries, commercial art studios, retail outlets and educational institutions.
