A Week To Go

When our students return to the college next week we think they should stop and take look at the new beautiful wall displays around the college.  They might see someone they know or an image they shot.  The above wall display in the N Building has an image by Second Year Student Sam Small and Alumni Jennie Woodley.

Also when you walk in the front doors of the C building make sure to look to the left to see our very own Arthur welcoming us all back, respect!!!

Recently Matt has taken some time off his busy work schedule to do a personal series he calls Locals Only, the images focus on:

"Local business owners and their stores in the Ottawa community. The reason why I am doing this is because I feel that we, in this generation, want things quicker and cheaper so we go to box stores and we forget about local stores that depend on us to stay open. I want to promote local store owners in hopes that people will decide to shop at their stores instead of box stores, which are owned by corporations not individuals. "

We hope Matt keeps developing this great series of images it would make a great show.   Take a look at some recent Locals Only posts the Ottawa Antique Market, The Honest Wrench and Venutra Blvd. Tattoo Studios.
