MFA student artists Margo Ray (above, left) and Natasha Mazurka take a break during an open house held recently by the William Collective Studio.

The collective is made up of 10 art students who work in a converted industrial building on William St., a few streets south of the Visual Arts building.

Mazurka, whose graduate studies are in painting and drawing, has a solo show in January at Maison de la Culture Marie-Uguay in Montreal.

Ray, whose graduate studies are in print media, has exhibited her work extensively in Canada and the U.S.

The group also includes Russell Tyler, who has a solo show in January at Galérie Thérèse Dion, Annie Hémond Hotte, a recent graduate, and Trevor Kiernander and Susan Westbrook, who produced the Art Matters festival last year.

The event was co-sponsored by Concordia’s Fine Arts Student Alliance.
