Judges for the 2008 Exhibiton will be Kal Honey and Kim Lee Kho

Kal Honey is an award-winning OCAD graduate, artist and graphic designer. In his fine art practice, Kal works in mixed media, exploring the potential of unorthodox methods and materials, combining them with a refined aesthetic and sophisticated use of colour and design. For the past 15 years, Kal has been a partner in Eye-to-Eye Design, a well-regarded boutique design studio specializing in editorial and promotional design for magazines. Kal routinely shows in some of the more competitive juried exhibitions in the GTA, including those at the Art Gallery of Mississauga, the Art Gallery of Peel and Oakville's Town Hall. He was recently one-half of a two-person show (with wife and partner Kim Lee Kho) at the Whitney Gallery in Brampton's Peel Heritage Complex, and is currently part of the Instructors' Show (from the Haliburton School of the Arts) at the Rails' End Gallery in Haliburton. Kal teaches classes for the Haliburton School', Koffler Centre for the Arts, numerous community art groups, and The Station Gallery in Whitby.

Kim Lee Kho grew up in a family of artists, surrounded by art and art history. An award-winning painter and graphic designer, her first loves are drawing and portraiture, while her latest work combines multiple media, (digital, traditional and photo-based), done on a large scale. Kim's exhibition schedule has been hectic, including shows at the Propeller Centre on Queen St West in Toronto, Le Centre d'artistes Voix Visuelle in Ottawa and as part of a group exhibition in Alberta that will be travelling for over a year, under the auspices of the Prairie Art Gallery in Grande Prairie, Alberta. Kim recently had her first solo show in the art gallery at the Toronto School of Art. Kim will be teaching this Fall at Visual Arts Mississauga, the Central Ontario Artists' Association and Koffler Centre for the Arts.
