Living in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada allows Sam Carter to keep one foot at Emily Carr University of Art and Design, where he has taught for the last 36 years, and one foot in international communities where he works on a variety of innovative projects.
“My exhibition design projects, and now the incredible capabilities of online projects, allow me to access all the things I love about museums and international travel," says Sam. "Technology has allowed me to work continually from Vancouver on projects around the world. The most recent being the Africa Child Policy Forum (Addis Ababa, Ethiopia), the Asia Pacific Applied Arts Forum and facilitating internships for Emily Carr students in China, Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines, Japan, Korea and other Pacific Rim nations and other parts of the world.
