Published:

Brandon University has unveiled its official 2026 Convocation artwork, a luminous and deeply personal piece by Manitoba artist Betty Sawatzky that captures the iconic Clark Hall beneath a vivid display of northern lights.

The artwork, titled Under the Northern Lights, Crowning over a Century of Discovery, was created using alcohol inks on ceramic tile, which is a medium known for producing flowing, dreamlike textures and intensely vibrant colour.
