The Studentworks Show 2012 ran from January 17 - February 1st, opening 4:00 - 6:00 on Thursday, January 19. The work represented the starting point for nine grade 11 and 12 secondary students, who were recommended by their schools for this program. The show was followed by a group critique and professional workshop experience. The students then had the opportunity to put a new piece of their work into the 42nd annual Cowichan Valley Fine Arts Show in April, 2012. Visitors to the show had the opportunity to write feedback comments to the young artists.

Each interested institution was able to nominate up to three grade 11 students, ONE in each of the of the following disciplines: VISUAL ARTS, PERFORMING ARTS AND TECHNICAL ARTS (sound design, documentary photography/video, lighting, set design, graphic design, arts management). CVAC developed specific criteria about commitment, technique, excellence and potential, but CVAC trusted the nomination exclusively to the schools.
