We offer a platform for our community of Artists to exhibit their artistic accomplishments. We have special exhibitions for our Students, Teachers and Artists from every field of arts.

Art is a personal expression of our feelings, emotions, intuitions, and desires, but it's also about communicating how we view the world, which for many is an extension of personality. We encourage our students to express themselves through their art as it not only liberates their thought process but also helps them convey powerful messages in a meaningful manner.

His first picture book was Robert Munsch's The Paper Bag Princess. He has collaborated with Robert Munsch on many other titles, including, Mmm, Cookies!, We Share Everything,Alligator Baby, Makeup Mess, Up, Up, Down, Andrew’s Loose Tooth, Playhouse, More Pies and Zoom!. He has also illustrated his own books, and such popular titles as Oonga Boonga. Michael loves to include sub-plots and visual jokes in his books — watch for the chickens in Playhouse, and see if you can spot Michael and Robert Munsch at the bus stop in More Pies!
