The artwork that these students produced was breathtaking and diverse. Art teacher Ron Martin set out to have his students represent themselves not only as Mi'kmaq people but also as teenagers. Martin said "he believes the exhibit will inspire more students' desire to express themselves and their culture through art". (as cited in Cape Breton Post, June 5, 2017). Just a sample of the over 60 pieces of artwork is shown below.
