FEDS Arts Symposium

Paintings. Jewelry. Dance. Knitting. Watercolours. Photography.
That’s just a small sampling of what you’ll find at the Federation of Students’ second annual Arts Symposium on November 22nd.
The Arts Symposium, hosted by the Feds Arts Commission in the SLC Great Hall, is an opportunity for uWaterloo artists to share their passion for art, celebrate and raise awareness for artistic appreciation in society and make a little extra cash too.
“We welcome and encourage all artists to be a part of the Symposium,” said Luke Burke, VP Internal of the Federation of Students. “The Symposium is the perfect occasion for our uWaterloo community to show its artistic side.”
There are multiple ways to get involved with the Arts Symposium, explained Feds Arts Commisioner, Xinxin Zhang. “Students, staff and faculty can apply to sell their art at our market, perform on stage, host a workshop or informational booth to showcase an artistic talent or organization-there’s so many ways to get involved.”
Xinxin also noted one big change from last year’s Symposium will be the way in which the market runs. “This year, our vendors will still be selling their art, but now they can also barter with their art to trade with other vendors or students.”
Attendees to the event will also have a chance to win door prizes from each of the artists at the Symposium.
The deadline for applications has been extended to November 11th. You can apply to be a part of the Arts Symposium at facebook.com/artssymposium or email artscomm@feds.ca for an application.
