Out of this world

The stars shone bright at Capilano
College on September 12 and 13 for
two musical gala performances in
support of the Performing Arts
Theatre. Approximately 200 people
attended each evening. They were
treated to exceptional entertainment
along with an array of appetizers,
desserts and wine served up by
costumed students from both the
Arts and Entertainment Management
and the Retail Marketing programs.
Retail Marketing instructor, Heddy
Bing, created a multi-coloured
ambience by converting the cafeteria
with candles and starlights. A silent
auction enticed bidders with artwork
by Studio Art instructors. Other select
items donated by local merchants,
along with ticket sales, helped the
Foundation raise a net amount of
more than $20,000. The money will
be used to upgrade and replace
aging theatre equipment.

La | Internationally
renowned Japanese
artist, Michiko
Suzuki, widely
recognized for her
contribution in
contemporary art,
has become the
College's first artist-in-residence.
She will spend the next three
months developing her own work
and interacting with students
and College employees through
demonstrations and seminars
that will centre on her personal
approach and use of washi paper.
Michiko spent three months last
year as artist-in-residence at the
University of Alberta. While the
university would have liked her
to return, she chose to come to
Capilano College instead. “I wanted
to collaborate with art instructor,
Wayne Eastcott, because his work
is very interesting to me,” Michiko
said. “It has flexibility and I like
that style. Also, collaboration
between artists is rare as we usually
work independently. I am looking
forward to the challenge.” Michiko’s
