The Alberta College of Art and Design offered Grade 11 and 12 students the opportunity to showcase their work in the ACAD SHOW OFF.
This year a DVSS Art 30 student submitted his art work in a juried exhibition and of the 400 students province wide, he was one of the 75 accepted. Joon Ahn had one of his pieces accepted and displayed at the exhibition in Calgary from April 30 to May 7. He had to submit three pieces of his work and the school picked one. At the art show there was a possibility of Joon winning a scholarship for his work. Although he did not win on Monday, May 16, Joon found out he was awarded a $7,000 scholarship for his portfolio. Joon comes from Seoul, Korea. He has been in Drumheller since 2008. Joon will be attending ACAD in September to continue his studies in art. Joon’s artistic ability is inspiring.
