Bealart students launch Chrysalis exhibition in downtown London – CBC.ca
Students from the Bealart Secondary Art School have launched their second annual art show at the TAP Centre for Creativity in downtown London, Ont.., installing and marketing the exhibition themselves.
Emily Hillman, a Bealart student, said the show titled Chrysalis is a great way for students to get recognition.
“It’s really cool,” said Hillman. “TAPS is a good place in the community for artists to go and even though we’re all in high school still, technically, we get to have our work put out into the community like this.”
Organizers describe the theme of Chrysalis as the development and growth of youth that is hidden by a cocoon, similar to the basement of Bealart where the student work and study.
Hillman designed a series of five ceramic mug-like sculptures inspired by the look of grapefruits.
“I’ve been working on a series of fruit pools, kind of juxtaposing my film work with my ceramics work by making them more lighthearted and fun,” said Hillman. “They have that dynamic shape and they have an interesting interior and exterior and all of them together kind of shows that they’re all different and unique.”

Students created and installed their own artwork
Bealart students were split into different teams and in-charge of putting the exhibition together by selecting art works, installing the pieces and marketing the show.
Each team worked collaboratively to play a role in making the art exhibition come together. For instance, the documentary team filmed the process from creating the art to the art getting installed.
Ada Yin was part of the opening reception team, while others were put into marketing, documentary, installation and promotion teams.
“We are already all familiar with the community and so the teachers split us up in each group,” said Yin. “I am responsible for opening reception, like sending out invitations and then preparing food and then we have a few performances coming up today as well to have some vibes going on.”
Kieran Belanger, communications support at TAP Creativity Centre, was impressed with students’ artwork and how they brought the exhibition to life.
“I think the students did a fantastic job,” said Belanger. “I hope we keep having them back again. I think it’s a really unique opportunity to let everyone shine and they’ve done a fantastic job…Hopefully we can keep doing this for a long, long time.”
The student exhibition at TAPS Cetre for Creativity, 203 Dundas Street, is open to the public daily from noon to 9 p.m. until Saturday.

The Courtauld Gallery at Somerset House has reopened its doors to the public after a fire swept through the historic building in central London. While the gallery has resumed operations, the rest of the iconic site remains closed “until further notice.”
On Saturday, approximately 125 firefighters were called to the scene to battle the blaze, which sent smoke billowing across the city. Fortunately, the fire occurred in a part of the building not housing valuable artworks, and no injuries were reported. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the fire.
Despite the disruption, art lovers queued outside the gallery before it reopened at 10:00 BST on Sunday. One visitor expressed his relief, saying, “I was sad to see the fire, but I’m relieved the art is safe.”
The Clark family, visiting London from Washington state, USA, had a unique perspective on the incident. While sightseeing on the London Eye, they watched as firefighters tackled the flames. Paul Clark, accompanied by his wife Jiorgia and their four children, shared their concern for the safety of the artwork inside Somerset House. “It was sad to see,” Mr. Clark told the BBC. As a fan of Vincent Van Gogh, he was particularly relieved to learn that the painter’s famous Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear had not been affected by the fire.
Blaze in the West Wing
The fire broke out around midday on Saturday in the west wing of Somerset House, a section of the building primarily used for offices and storage. Jonathan Reekie, director of Somerset House Trust, assured the public that “no valuable artefacts or artworks” were located in that part of the building. By Sunday, fire engines were still stationed outside as investigations into the fire’s origin continued.
About Somerset House
Located on the Strand in central London, Somerset House is a prominent arts venue with a rich history dating back to the Georgian era. Built on the site of a former Tudor palace, the complex is known for its iconic courtyard and is home to the Courtauld Gallery. The gallery houses a prestigious collection from the Samuel Courtauld Trust, showcasing masterpieces from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. Among the notable works are pieces by impressionist legends such as Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne, and Vincent Van Gogh.
Somerset House regularly hosts cultural exhibitions and public events, including its popular winter ice skating sessions in the courtyard. However, for now, the venue remains partially closed as authorities ensure the safety of the site following the fire.
Art lovers and the Somerset House community can take solace in knowing that the invaluable collection remains unharmed, and the Courtauld Gallery continues to welcome visitors, offering a reprieve amid the disruption.
