Imagination Gallery Collective

Imagination Gallery Collective Imagination Gallery Collective was created in 2007 in Victoria BC. Sid Vereecken the Curator was 17 when it was started.

It started as a youth arts collective, breaking youth into the art scene. Showcasing that art to the public proving the power of artist expression at a young age. The collective help jump start the Limelight Youth Arts Festival in Victoria as well as many shows done on their own. In 2009 Sid moved and the gallery went into hiatus. After moving around all BC and going to school, Sid is now starting to re-introduce the collective into Victoria again, trying a new approach and style of shows.

What was your favourite part of the Limelight?

03/06/2012

WOW! What an amazing Limelight Experience. Lots of fun with some great workshops. Huge thanks to the Pixie Hoop Crew for being at the show and doing a workshop. Tons of fun making silly buttons and dancing to some great music. Next year is only going to get bigger and better after such a good turn out.

The Limelight was first formed by the collaboration of Saanich Youth Services and the Imagination Gallery Collective. The Imagination Gallery Collective is a youth based art promotions group. Saanich approached Imagination Gallery Collective to help with the idea of a youth arts festival. Soon after the initial discussions, Imagination Gallery Collective took on helping shape the environment of the festival as well as arranging artists for the show.

The first show was held in 2008 at Pearkes Recreation Centre. In 2009 it was relocated to Cedar Hill Recreation Centre as a more central location. Due to the construction of the Cedar Hill Arts Centre as well as the Imagination Gallery Collective was on temporary hold, there was no show last year. This year Saanich and Imagination Gallery Collective have reunited and are very excited to showcase the fourth Limelight Youth Arts Festival.

Since its' inception, The Limelight Youth Arts Festival has showcased some of Victoria's greatest youth talents in all art mediums. This year will be no exception. We are delighted to also have the John and Yoko Bed-In Photo Collection to be showcased.

As always the Limelight Youth Arts Festival is free to the public. On March 3rd make sure your available to check out the best youth art show in Victoria. You won't want to miss out on this show! There will be interactive workshops, artists selling their wares, entertainment, music, food, and much more. On the behalf of Saanich and The Imagination Gallery Collective see you there.
