Emily Carr Graduation Exhibit – Vancouver

Emily Carr Graduation Exhibit, Opening Night – Vancouver
I’ve been going to the opening night of the graduation exhibit at Emily Carr for the past ten years and it’s always been one of my favorite events – Saturday night was no exception. There was a huge crowd in attendance with everyone jockeying for space to see the new graduates work.
If you didn’t make it out last night, you still have plenty of time to catch the show. There’s no entry fee at all and it’s a chance to see brilliant pieces by emerging artists.
I’m excited to share with you a few of my highlights from last night, make sure you don’t miss them!
I loved Jenny Lu’s work “Modern Traditional Blue and White.” I thought the juxtaposition of traditional Chinese design and modern forms was so fresh and innovative.
I enjoyed the detail work on Denver Lynxleg’s installation piece – storefront with Downseys Sandwich board.
I also loved the work of Silje-Marie Salhus. Again, this is only part of her collection at the show- so head down to ECIAD to check out the rest of it and all the other amazingly talented artists for yourself. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!
The show is open daily from May 2nd-16th, 10am-6pm: 1399/1400 Johnston Street, Granville Island. For more information about the show and graduating artists, check out the exhibition’s web catalogue here.
