Welcome to a celebration of creativity, resourcefulness, and the beauty of rediscovery. Presented by the Center for Lake Erie Education and Research (CLEER), this exhibition showcases the inspired works of art students from Collegiate Academy.  By blending environmental consciousness with artistic expression, these young artists not only demonstrate their technical skills but also inspire conversations about sustainability, resourcefulness, and the beauty of reimagined materials. This collection truly highlights the transformative power of creativity as students repurpose found objects into compelling works of art, reflecting their unique perspectives and artistic visions.

As you explore the exhibit, consider the stories these objects might tell — where they’ve been, how they’ve been reimagined, and what they’ve become. Let this be a reminder that art isn’t just about creation; it’s about seeing possibilities where others see none.  

We invite you to explore these remarkable pieces and support the continued growth of arts education in our region. Together, we can nurture creativity, innovation, and a strong sense of community through the power of art.
