Virtual Exhibits

Art in the Hall, artwork created by students in Durham College’s Fine Arts – Advanced program, is exhibited at City Hall on an ongoing, rotating basis. Exhibits are designed and installed by student artists, with guidance from Cultural staff at the City of Oshawa. Due to the pandemic and closure of City Hall to the public, Art in the Hall pivoted and went virtual. During the 2019-2020 academic year, students from the Journalism and Personal Support Worker programs at Durham College conducted interviews with a selection of older adults who were either members of the Oshawa Seniors Community Centres 55+ (OSCC55+) or living in residences in Oshawa. These stories were then interpreted by fellow Durham College students in the Fine Arts program through visual art. Their pieces are featured in the virtual gallery on the City’s website. Original artworks are also installed at the Delpark Homes Centre, Donevan Recreation Complex, Northview Community Centre and OSCC55+ John Street Branch.
