PNE Container Art 2011 | Call For Submissions

The PNE Container Art Show provides an exhibition opportunity for artists. This unique, multi-disciplinary show is housed in 12- to 20-foot shipping containers, which will be set up in the Spirit Plaza area on the PNE grounds. The 17 day show will be open-themed. The jury will select work that reflects the diversity of Vancouver artists. It will be up during the PNE Fair and we are anticipating drawing almost 1 million people over the 17 day fair.

Emily Carr University holds a special competition for two of the containers, which are reserved for our students. This competition will be judged by an internal jury comprised of faculty members. Students in 3rd and 4th year and the MAA program are eligible to submit an entry. The selected artists will be paid a $500 installation fee as well as a $1000 artist fee.
