Discovery: Fire
Juried Exhibition for New and Emerging Artists
January 17 – February 7, 2015
Our annual discovery juried exhibition provides exposure to emerging artists. The jurors, artist Joan Skeet, Seymour Art Gallery’s Curator/Director Sarah Cavanaugh, and Interim Curator Dr. Hilary Letwin have selected artists to exhibit. Each has created a piece that reflects our theme: FIRE. The result is a fresh and eclectic show, with the artists presenting work that is as varied as their backgrounds; encompassing painting, ceramics, glass, mixed media, and photography.
Michael Fitzsimmons received the Carole Badgley Emerging Artist Award and $300 cash prize, furnished by the Seymour Art Gallery for his painting “Trinity”. Peter Sickert received an Honourable Mention and $150 Gift Card, donated by Opus North Vancouver for his painting “TERRE DES HOMMES: THE END OF AN ERA”, and Suzanne Laird received an Honourable Mention and set of 10 artist quality acrylics, donated by Kroma Acrylics for her sculpture “Hopeless.”
