This yearlong contemporary arts program is a collaboration between the School of Art & Design and the Vancouver Art Gallery. At the gallery, students gain behind-the-scenes access, workshops, and tours of a number of exhibitions and have the opportunity to speak with and learn from exhibiting artists and gallery professionals. They will then respond to their experience back at our studios through mentored and self-directed projects, with the chance to curate, install, and critique their work multiple times a year in the Cassils | Henriquez Exhibition Gallery at Arts Umbrella.
