Faculty of Culture + Community

Emily Carr recently partnered with Ampri Group, the City of Richmond and Stantec to develop new ways of creating public spaces. This innovative partnership resulted in a new course within the Faculty of Culture + Community - The Social Practice of Public Art + Community Design is aimed at helping emerging artists transition from studio work to the field of public art, while providing them with the skills to interact with stakeholders from business, community and government.

About the Tours

Situated within the Faculty of Culture + Community, the Foundation Program provides a wide range of academic and studio-based courses in material practice, visual literacy and critical and conceptual thinking. Our curriculum also encourages student participation in local and global communities and culture through research and studio practice.

In Foundation, or first year, students are encouraged to improvise and experiment with new ideas, processes and materials. This provides an introduction to imaginative thinking and creative experiences across a variety of mediums and disciplines while preparing students for future studies.

The Foundation Show is a culmination of student progress shown through the work completed during their first year of studies.

The Howe Sound region of British Columbia is experiencing a remarkable ecological rebirth.  Marine life is returning after decades of low numbers. This recovery is an incredible and all too rare good news story – not just for the residents of the Sound or the urban and tourist centres around it, but also for marine scientists worldwide who want to know more about the dynamics of marine recovery.
