Art School (Dismissed) was created as a celebration of artists who extend their creative practices into the realm of education. A three-day exhibition in the spring of 2010, it included a condensed and abundant program of dance, music, and performance. The event took place in downtown Toronto’s historic Shaw Street Public School. Faculty were drawn from OCAD University, the University of Toronto, York University, Sheridan/UTM, the University of Guelph, U of T Scarborough, Centennial College, George Brown College, Humber College, and other educational institutions, such as the Toronto District School Board, The Toronto School of Art, and gallery/musical ensemble education programs. The dynamic gathering of participants in Art School (Dismissed) can be seen as a portrait of the art-educational landscape at that moment, and an opportunity to reflect on some of the most important voices influencing young artists in the Toronto region.
