UISG is pleased to announce the success of this 2024 Chinese New Year Art Exhibition. The exhibition, which was held in the Utahloy Language Centre, featuring the work of students from grades K to 12, and also staff and parents entries.
The exhibition was a celebration of the Year of the Dragon. The dragon is a symbol of strength, power, and good luck. The students’ artwork reflected the beauty and symbolism of the dragon in a wide range of creative and personal interpretations.
The exhibition was a great success, and it was well-attended by students, parents, and members of the community. The students were clearly proud of their work, and they enjoyed sharing it with others. The exhibition was also a great way to learn about Chinese culture and traditions, as well as the characteristics and stories in relation to the powerful Chinese dragon.
A big thank you to our guest judges, Valentine Denizeau and Suixin Zhang from the Art Institute of the Orient for taking time to view all of the entries in this dragon art competition. A special congratulations to the following participants who achieved an award for their contributions:
