this programme is dear to my heart. It is unique and well-established, a treasure to preserve and value. Support art; it is such an integral aspect to a happy world...

Queen's University has a very solid reputation across Canada and the Art Program is known and respected by other visual arts programs across the country. It is therefore shocking to hear of these proceedings and I hope that proper communication and due process can correct this.

As a BFA 2009 graduate, I believe the freezing of admission and the likely eventual closure of the program would be a monumental loss to the Queen's academic community and the arts community at large.

Unilateral decisions that have far reaching impact on a community, or in this case, a nation's 'fine artists', are a one-way street to disaster. Poets, artists, writers, 'communicators' of all stripes are the vessels of a nation's conscience and any infringement on the few remaining avenues for these rare individuals to be supported in developing their gifts impoverishes all of us.

Much like biodiversity is essential to a healthy, functioning ecosystem, academic diversity is essential to a healthy, functioning society. BSc (biology) 2000 & BFA (printmaking) 2000!

I am Executive Director of the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington. I strongly support the above statement. Over the past decades, the visual arts program at Queens has nurtured and motivated countless prominent artists, art adminstrators, curators and teachers. Many have impacted my personal and professional life profoundly. Michael Burtch, long time Direct of the Algoma Gallery, is a Queens graduate and highly valued mentor and friend. One of my currrent board members, Jeremy Desjardine, is head of the art department at Bowmanville High School and a Queens Graduate. Dayna Reimland, a gifted student and summer employee of mine is currently enrolled in first year of the visual arts program. During my many years as Curator at the Weir Collection in Queenston, Keith Bantock served as my Conservator; a graduate of the Art Conservation Program at Queens. it is my sincere hope that a program that has demonstrated a level of excellence that inspires and launches individuals such as those above continues, and flourishes.

The Queen's BFA program is an excellent program, and it is important to keep the Arts and Humanities in all education institutions, because we are not all about the dollar.

The arts are so important! It would be a terrible strike upon Queens to drop such a wonderful program. Don't limit opportunties for arts students. We're important too!
