THE SEYMOUR Art

But to students of Sevcove Sec-
ondary School, it’s a shortcut to
the school parking lot.
The afternoon that 1 visited the
galery, gum-snapping,  leather-
clad students waltzed through the
exhibit space, oblivious to the
large, bright canvases around
them.
One youth, not wanting to
disturb the photographer who was
busy snapping shots of the current
exhibit, whispered to his friend to
take an alternate exit.
“1 don’t give a sh-t.°’ the other
replied and trudged by. So much
for art appreciation.
Sandwiched between North
Shore Family Services and a local
recreational body, the Seymour
Art Gallery office is a cubicle with
phone-booth-like dimensions:
there’s a desk, a computer, filing
cabinet and phone, and a sign that
reads. ‘‘Donations Graciously Ac-
ceptc.””
The gallery itself consists of one
wall and two others interrupted by
doors and windows. There's a i :
love seat, a coffee table and a - ‘
book for guests’ coniments. The . NEWS phote Clady Goodman
