If you’re looking for something interesting to do over the holidays, Definitely Superior Art Gallery has just opened its doors to a new exhibition featuring Major Studio graduates from 2019 and 2020. Titled the Lakehead University “RetroGraduate X2 Exhibition”, the display features works selected by the alumni from their time at Lakehead and beyond. 

RetroGraduate x2 presents a wide variety of incredible works from several different mediums: from painting to drawing to sculpture, our talented alumni have curated a beautiful collection of powerful art. The opening, held on December 5th, was divided into two showings from 4-7pm and 8-11pm and featured live music from DJ Big D and Steve Michael, as well as refreshments provided by Red Lion Smokehouse and St. Paul Roastery. Artists Lucille Atlookan and Mary McPherson were in attendance, and spoke about their experiences and their artwork. 

Thunder Bay residents can visit the gallery to view works from 2019 alumni Mary McPherson, Vanessa Ervin, Amanda Toope, Shayla Hickerson, Lucille Atlookan, and Violet Cross, as well as from 2020 graduates Evalina Sacchetti, Katy Poirier, Caroline Robillard, Jessica Stacy, and Gillian McGregor. 

The exhibition will run until January 9th at Definitely Superior Art Gallery, and be open to visitors Tuesday to Saturday from 12 to 6pm. Admission is all ages and by donation.
