On behalf of everyone in the program, I want to give each and every one of you a huge thank you! It's so wonderful seeing all the support for the arts and for the program! And another thank you to everyone who has shared the petition and kept the momentum going! Right now, one of the best things we can do is spread the word around.

Speaking of, London's own Forest City Gallery have put out a statement in support of the Fanshawe Fine Arts program! They are currently looking for testimonials about the program to show the decision makers at Fanshawe College. So, if the Fine Arts Program has had a positive effect on you (as as student, as an alumni, or just as someone who cares about art) send your stories in on their website here!

Finally, I'd like to leave off with this article: an interview with Eric Atkinson, the man who started the Fine Arts program 56 years ago. There's wonderful insight here in the history of Fanshawe as well as the importance of the program.
