Annual Juried Under 19 Student Exhibition

March 13 – 30, 2024

The AGB supports our student artists is by giving them an opportunity to engage in aspects of the gallery world by submitting, readying, and showing their work in this exhibition. We hope to inspire our young, growing student artists to follow their muse, wherever it may lead.

Meet the jurists

Jennifer Delaney Visual Artist Bethany, Ontario, Canada

Jennifer is a quiet artist and has waited many years to ‘become’. She is finally working full time in art, emerging in the last few years, and being rewarded (awarded) for her effort and skill in shows. Jennifer paints for herself first, and holds nothing back! 

Based in Kawartha Lakes, Jennifer also has a small studio in the Peterborough area. There are two disciplines that pull Jennifer’s art; one to impressionistic painting, and the other to abstract. She always paints a feeling. The main themes she is currently working on balance between landscapes, and interesting items in them, and the subjects others may not want to paint. She is primarily an oil painter, who lends a little time to all art experimentation. 

A final favourite quote from Jennifer: “Talent is Time In”.

Lynne Vegter

Lynne is a self taught artist living in the Bancroft area, and working from her cabin studio on Lake Weslemkoon. Lynne had immigrated from England and raised two children as a single parent, and ran a small art studio in Bruce County teaching Ceramic Arts, hand building and ceramic finishing. Drawing was always a passion and as a teen, Lynne won local art competitions. Upon retirement in 2016, she attended Haliburton School of Art to learn pottery wheel technique. 

Moving to the Bancroft area in 2018, Lynne is emerging as an artist and enjoys photographing the lake environment and wildlife. Hiking, kayaking and observing the natural beauty are her inspiration, exploring the lake reflections and the natural life around the shores. Both Lynne and her spouse are involved in animal rescue and protection of their habitat. 

Volunteering at both A Place For The Arts and the Bancroft Art Gallery, Lynne has conducted workshops and teaches a children’s art evening in conjunction with the Muse Gallery and Cafe, during fall and winter months. Her preferred medium is oils but also enjoys painting in watercolour, gouache and mixed media.

Lynne’s paintings can be seen in the Art Gallery of Bancroft, A place For The Arts and Longmuir’s Hidden Cove Cottages. Her upcoming shows will be in Belleville Gallery 121 mid-February to March 2024, and in the Art Gallery Of Bancroft for the month of May 2024.
