Discovery: Line
January 6 – 30, 2016
Our annual ‘Discovery’ juried exhibition provides exposure to emerging artists. Juried by artist Wayne Eastcott, Vancouver Art Gallery’s curatorial assistant Adrienne Rempel, and Seymour Art Gallery’s curator/director Sarah Cavanaugh, this year’s exhibition reflects the theme: LINE. The artists present work that is as varied as their backgrounds in this fresh and eclectic show, which includes drawing, painting, ceramics, mixed media, film, and photography.
Ryder White was presented with the Carole Badgley Emerging Artist Award, with a cash prize of $300 furnished by the gallery and a $300 gift card donated by Opus Art Supplies for his piece ‘Time Symmetry’. Honourable mentions Susie Benes and EJ An received a $300 gift card from Opus Art Supplies and a set of 10 acrylics from Kroma Artist’s Acrylics, respectively.
