Spotlight festival over, but big things on horizon for arts
Actors perform the student-produced play Lighthouse at Robinson Memorial Theatre. The show - part of the Honours Performance Series - was one of the many events that made up the year-long Spotlight on the Arts festival.
After more than 100 concerts, exhibitions and lectures, the Spotlight on the Arts festival has come to a close.
The Spotlight was a nearly year-long look at the arts at McMaster and in the community. It kicked off last fall with a parade through the centre of campus.
Festival highlights included student-produced plays, a performance with the Toronto Mass Choir, exhibitions at the McMaster Museum of Art and a career session with alumni working in the arts.
President Patrick Deane also featured student art in the gallery space in the President’s Corridor throughout the year. He spoke about the space and the work in one of his monthly video conversations.
A number of significant events for the arts at McMaster are currently underway, including construction of L.R. Wilson Hall and the expansion of existing studio art space into the Dr. Robert and Andrée Rhéaume Fitzhenry Studios and Atrium.
