Rainbow Studio Gallery: Announcement for the 7th Art Juried Show

Rainbow Studio Gallery hosts an annual art competition, providing local youth and emerging artists an opportunity to showcase their skills.
This event brings together the exhibition theme and the artists’ creative ideas, resulting in captivating and inspiring works of art.

Even the youngest artists clearly express their unique thoughts and know how to tell compelling stories through their works.
The gallery respects these efforts and offers heartfelt guidance to help participants shape their artistic journeys.

The theme for the 2024 exhibition is “Light and Lightness.”
Colors in nature cannot be perceived without light, and while light is visible, it is intangible and weightless.
Light exists, yet it passes quickly.
Through this exhibition, we hope to foster gratitude for the presence of light and invite everyone to reflect on its essence
and the concept of lightness through the artists’ interpretations.
We look forward to your interest and support.

레인보우 스튜디오 갤러리: 7th Art Juried Show 안내
레인보우 스튜디오 갤러리는 매년 지역 내 청소년 및 신진 아티스트들에게 실력을 겨룰 수 있는 미술 선발 대회를 개최하고 있습니다.
이 경합을 준비하는 과정에서는 전시회의 주제와 작가들의 창의적인 아이디어가 결합되어 흥미로운 결과물이 탄생합니다.
비록 어린 작가들이라 할지라도, 그들은 자신만의 생각을 명확히 표현하며 이야기를 이끌어나가는 방법을 알고 있습니다.
우리는 이를 존중하며, 참가자들이 앞으로 나아갈 방향에 대해 진심 어린 조언을 아끼지 않습니다.
2024년 전시회의 주제는 **‘Light and Lightness’**입니다. 자연의 색채는 빛이 없다면 볼 수 없으며,
빛은 눈으로 볼 수 있어도 만질 수 없고 그 무게조차 느낄 수 없을 정도로 가볍습니다.
빛은 존재하면서도 순식간에 사라지곤 합니다.
이번 전시를 통해 그 빛의 존재에 감사하며, 작품을 통해 빛과 가벼움의 의미를 함께 느껴보는 시간이 되기를 바랍니다.
많은 관심과 성원 부탁드립니다.


Juror’s Commentaries
Jurors: Vanessa Cress-Lokos and Dominique Prevost



It was indeed a beautiful sight to behold all 53 pieces of art that were entered into this year’s 6th
Rainbow Studio Youth Art Competition! Congratulations to all the artists who entered their work. As
artists we know how courageous you all are! We encourage you to keep creating and submitting to
shows, whether your piece is up this time or not. It was hard for us to keep only 25 artworks for this
exhibition, but that’s all the size of the gallery would allow. We chose a selection to represent each of
the three categories.
Once again, this year, the caliber of the works that come out of the Rainbow Studio Gallery is
exceptional, and showcases the extremely talented students and their teachers here and in our region.
When making our selection, we were looking for a few things: Is there consistency in the technique, in
how the paint is handled? How about the use of colour? Is the composition working? Also important is
the originality and the interpretation of the theme. Does it hold the viewer’s attention? As you can see
there were many yeses to these questions and these pieces are worthy of our attention!
Congratulations again to all!
