Art Field Trip to Toronto

Field Trip - GCHS Toronto Art Exploration

This week, Globe Cambridge High School (GCHS) teachers and students embarked on an inspiring art field trip to Toronto, diving into the city's vibrant artistic scene.

Collision Gallery: A Glimpse of Contemporary Art

Their first stop was Collision Gallery, part of the Toronto Biennial of Art. The Biennial aims to make contemporary art accessible to all by commissioning new works that reflect Toronto’s diverse cultural landscape.

Toronto Sculpture Garden: Exploring Innovative Art

Next, the group visited the Toronto Sculpture Garden, where they explored Vimana (N1 Starfighter) (2024) by Rajni Perera. This sculptural installation, inspired by science fiction and Buddhist traditions, uses modern materials to challenge Western ideas about space travel and migration.

Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO): Immersed in Masterpieces

The final stop was the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), where students enjoyed a range of art, from 17th-century masterpieces by Rembrandt to modern works by Picasso and Monet. It was a rare chance to experience art from some of history's greatest artists.
