Art in the Court

Art in the Court first came to the Robson Square courthouse in May of 1995. Student-submitted art pieces were donated, framed and hung, which helped to improve the atmosphere of the courthouse. The artwork was replaced in May 2001 and then again in May 2005. Over the years, the 200+ art pieces have given thousands of people enjoyment and have helped to inspire youth and parents dealing with family issues in the court.

The Vancouver School Board has now requested that Art in the Court submissions become part of a permanent collection. In 2009 and for the next 5 years, art pieces will be submitted by senior level Secondary students from the Vancouver area. These works will become the “Art in the Court” Permanent Student Collection at Robson Square Provincial Court.

This project is an ongoing partnership between the Justice Education Society, the Vancouver School Board and Robson Square Provincial Court. The project is supported solely through financial donations and contributions of time. Visit the Society's Donate page to learn how you can support the work of youth inspiring youth.
