(London, Ontario) Students from Fanshawe College’s Fine Art program will unveil their latest metal creations for John Zubick Ltd. at the Marconi Club on Wednesday, April 11. The students, who transformed thousands of pounds of tin, copper, aluminum and steel, donated by John Zubick Ltd., will have their projects judged on creativity and design. Bruce Zubick, co-owner of John Zubick Ltd; Cassie Getty, Curator of Contemporary Art at Museum London and Laura French, will determine which project best reflects this year’s theme. The winner will receive a cheque for $1,000, donated by Zubick.
In addition to providing the scrap metal for this project for the past six years, John Zubick Ltd. has also supported this initiative by donating manpower, safety equipment and welding advice to the students, many of whom have never welded before.
The event, open to the public, will begin at the Marconi Club at 5:30 pm.
Event: “Birds” and “Microscopic Bacteria” metal works competition

When: Wednesday, April 11, 2012

“This is a remarkable experience for my students,” said second year Fine Art professor, Paul Dreossi, who is an artist/metal worker himself. “I am sure we are one of the only colleges in Canada making large scale metal sculptures as part of their curriculum.”
Fanshawe College would like to thank John Zubick Ltd. for their generous and ongoing support of this project.
