Donor Recognition Reception 2012
May 4, 2012
We were delighted to honour Emily Carr University of Art + Design generous friends and supporters with a lively celebration at the Granville Island Hotel!
Our esteemed donors enjoyed chatting and mingling with faculty, staff and Emily Carr’s award-winning students. At the heart of the University lies the passion and creativity of our students and without the amazing support of our donors, we would not be able to provide the education and services to successfully prepare graduates for life as a professional artist, designer or media practition
er. A wonderful example of the caliber of talent Emily Carr fosters is Luke Parnell, pictured left with Brenda Crabtree, Aboriginal Program Manager. Luke is a recipient of the Winsor Graduate Student Award and the RBC Emerging Aboriginal Artist Award.
Following the reception, guests previewed the diverse and impressive 2012 Degree Exhibition. It was a lovely evening and we sincerely enjoyed the opportunity to thank our donors, in person, for their generous support!
