Contemporary Art Practices

In partnership with Arts Umbrella, Contemporary Art Practices is a three-week summer visual art intensive run annually since 2017, designed for artists ages 15-19 interested in advancing their artistic skills and creative thinking.

The intensive is a stimulating experience for young artists committed to experimentation and dedicated to pushing the boundaries of their own art-making. In a supportive studio environment, students work with professional Vancouver artists, curators, and educators, exploring a range of contemporary art practices.

Each year, the program culminates with a presentation of student work.
