  • Art on Transit

    Emily Carr's Faculty of Culture + Community and TransLink present Art On Transit, a rolling showcase of student artwork – now in its second year! The project features 38 unique works by students displayed on reserve advertising panels on buses and Sky Trains around the lower mainland.
    The project provides TransLink customers with visual interest during their travels, and an opportunity for our emerging artists to display their work to a wide audience.

    The selection panel included judges from both Emily Carr and TransLink, who based their choices on artistic excellence and suitability for the transit environment. Students received an honorarium from TransLink and will have their work displayed for a one-year period.
