Blessed Trinity Catholic Secondary School Student Art Exhibition - on display until May 23, 2026! 🖼️

The students of Blessed Trinity Catholic Secondary School are proud to present a diverse collection of artwork created throughout the school year, showcasing the creativity, curiosity, and unique perspectives of our Grade 9, 10, 11, and 12 artists. This exhibition represents more than individual talent—it reflects a vibrant community of young creators exploring a wide range of ideas, themes, and techniques.

Our artists have worked across multiple mediums, including pastel, ink, acrylic, watercolor, sculpture, and upcycled materials. Each piece reflects a personal journey of experimentation, skill development, and self-expression. Some works capture delicate emotions, while others celebrate colour, form, and the playful imagination that art encourages.

Together, these works invite viewers to consider different perspectives, explore new ways of seeing, and connect with the stories, emotions, and ideas embedded in each
piece. The students’ dedication to their craft demonstrates how art can bridge personal experience and shared understanding, creating meaningful connections that extend beyond the classroom.

We hope this collection inspires others as much as the process of creating it has inspired our students, celebrating the imagination, resilience, and vibrant voices of the young artists at Blessed Trinity Catholic Secondary School.

HAVE YOU HEARD THE BUZZ!? 🐛🐝🐞🦗🪲
This Monday, May 11 from 4-6pm, GPAG Queer Art Collective will be joined by the fabulous Hamilton-based artist Birdie Gerhl (@birdie_gerhl) for our second FREE workshop! You cAN'T miss this one... 🐜
🪡
Spring has sprung, so let’s make some bugs together in celebration of all the critters that have returned to our gardens. Participants will be provided with fabric and sewing materials, and guided through the process of making their own soft sculptural insect. No prior sewing experience required, though participants are invited to pick their favourite gay bug prior to the workshop.
🧵
Birdie Gerhl is a Hamilton-based multidisciplinary artist and facilitator. Her artistic practice straddles textiles, video, drawing, poetry, and zines, often combining them in installations and performances. Gerhl’s work invites touch and play, beckoning us to locate queerness and disability not in our bodies, but in our relationships and lineages.
