EXHIBITION

Metamorphosis

Featuring Eastwood Collegiate Institute Students

January 9 – 24th, 2026

Watson, Cayley & Ferrie Galleries

Homer Watson House & Gallery presents Metamorphosis, an exhibition celebrating students from Eastwood Collegiate Institute’s Visual Arts Program.

Much like the tides of the ocean, the students of Eastwood Collegiate Institute’s Grade 12 Visual Arts course are continually evolving into the accomplished creators they’ve been working towards their whole lives. Artists in arms have watched their peers with bated breath as the refreshing waves of creativity wash away the ills of the past for these graduates to take a step into the deep waters of a lifelong education. Light filters through these tides differently, what once stood tall and proud now bends and curves in unique ways. Each and every student intends to show the world what a beautiful life lies beneath the surface of rough waters through their art. A journey of challenge and change is forecast. As the colours recede into the deep a new world emerges, a life of the unknown awaits the students of Eastwood, and they are ready to face their Metamorphosis

The Senior Art class asks you to breach the surface of Metamorphosis, and explore a realm of creative perspectives. Join us on our journey of growth and exploration as we share our accomplishments and art to your community.

The Loch Doon area was memorialized in celebrated Scottish poet, Robert Burns piece “Ye banks and braes O’ bonnie Doon”

Ye banks and braes o’ bonny Doon,
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
How can ye chant, ye little birds,
And I sae weary fu’ o’ care?
Thou’lt break my heart, thou warbling bird,
That wantons thro’ the flowering thorn:
Thou minds me o’ departed joys,
Departed, never to return.

Aft hae I rov’d by bonnie Doon,
To see the rose and woodbine twine;
And ilka bird sang o’ its love,
And fondly sae did I o’ mine.
Wi’ lightsome heart I pu’d a rose,
Fu’ sweet upon its thorny tree;
And my fause lover stole my rose,
But, ah! he left the thorn wi’ me.
