About Arts Mag
Since its inception seventeen years ago, Arts Mag has shone its spotlight on the artistic talents of the Collingwood School student body. We have celebrated art in a kaleidoscope of forms by showcasing the prowess of painters, drawers, dancers, orators, musicians, singers, actors, poets, writers, sculptors, photographers, designers, and more. From budding artists to seasoned veterans, the students and teachers who have graced the pages of Arts Mag have shared their inspiration, their philosophies, and their passions vis-à-vis life and the role of art.
We have even followed the creative path of some of these individuals beyond Collingwood; some alumni have continued to pursue their art as a pastime and others as a post-secondary career. Some have even experienced the transformative energy of art, and have discovered new or different means of artistic expression.
At every stage, Arts Mag has strove to delight the senses through the richness of colour, movement, texture and musicality that our artists have captured in their works. It is with admiration, joy and awe that the Arts Mag team thanks our contributors. In the same vein of artistic exploration and creative experimentation, we have decided to update the look of Arts Mag. We hope that you enjoy the new format.

Editor's Note
As the school year of 2019 draws to a close, we welcome a summer of cold drinks, sunshine, Netflix and freedom. We shall also celebrate the arts community one last time. You have for sure seen these talented artists around school. From photographers to gymnasts to singers, we hope by reading about these wonderful artists you will also be motivated to seek out some form of art in your daily lives.
Art is not only a form of expression, it is a solace, a comfort and a home for many. It speaks for those who are shy, it sings for those who cannot and it opens up a new world of wonder no matter where you are.
We sincerely wish the grads of Arts Mag a fulfilling summer and rewarding next few years of their lives. And may art accompany them every step of the way wherever they choose to go.
It has been an honour and a pleasure to serve as the editor of Arts Mag this year. I will be pursuing English literature at Scripps College in LA in the fall.
Please grab some iced tea, sit back and enjoy the summer issue of Arts Mag! Have a wonderful summer!
