Principal’s Message
Art and the multiple expressions of it, form a lens through which we see the world, react to it and express ourselves in it. It is no coincidence that the arts, whether it be theatre, music, dance, multimedia programs or visual art, play such a vital role in our culture. I would like to congratulate and thank the ArtSideOut organizers and participants for staging this terri�c Program. Franco J. Vaccarino, PhDPrincipal, University of Toronto ScarboroughVice-President, University of Toronto
Chair of Humanities’ Message
Welcome to ARTSIDEOUT 2009!ARTSIDEOUT, developed, designed and led by a dedicated group of students, is an outstanding example of interdisciplinary engagement, artistic achievement, and enhancement of student life. It places the spotlighton the importance of artistic and cultural expression on campus and in our local communities. On behalf of the Department of Humanities, I extend my sincere congratulations to all involved in the second annual ARTSIDEOUT initiative. William BowenChair, Department of Humanities
SCSU Vice President Campus Life’s Message
ARTSIDEOUT is unlike any other initiative done here at UTSC. This event takes ordinary, simple and common places on campus and transforms them into showcases of the beautiful artwork created every day at UTSC. I encourage you to take a walk around campus and experience all that ASO has to o�er. For tonight only, UTSC is not just a learning facility or an educational institution, but rather, it is a live and interactive art festival that everyone can enjoy.
