The Creative Arts Foundation of Canada organized a creative arts
exhibition on the theme of "My Neighbourhood". The 4-day event took place at a Westmount
antiques and arts gallery from December 5th to 8th. Featuring more than 271 artworks
from adult and child artists, as well as more than 114 styles of children’s Christmas
cards, this year’s exhibition was truly a testament to the creativity within our
different communities. The foundation’s exhibitions are there to encourage artistic
innovation. The many forms and colours of this creativity has left us all with many
stories to tell. This year, featured artworks were organized in two age
groups: 8-11 years and 12-16 years. Winners from both groups received the Creativity
Prize. Our VIP judges were Claude Gosselin from the Montreal International Contemporary
Arts Centre; Dr. Peter Rist from the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema; and artists
Roxanna, Maria, Diane, and Martin. Winners of the 8-11 years category
(10 places) are Alice Liang, Jenny Feng, Elaine Wang, Emma Wang, Rui Wang, Paul
Ye, Lisa Chen, Cynthia Chen, Nerissa Lu, and Gabriel Ye. Those of the 12-16 years
category (4 places) are Dingrong Tao, Lincoln G. Macadangdang, Xuefei Ren, and Xinyue
Feng. All artworks were on sale during our evening fundraiser. We thank
all those who have contributed to our cause through their donations. Namely, we
would like to thank Sunlife, Robert Ye, Dapeng Wang, BMO, Virginio, Denis, Paramount
Study, DeSerre, Ruoli Li, Yongxin Lou, Yu Hu, Wei Du, Ping Li, Qiurong Chen, Yingbo
