For one week each semester, Emily Carr's Concourse Gallery is transformed into the Commons. Part prototype, part program, The Commons is made up of a kit of modular parts, including spatial, temporal, and creative resources, intended to cultivate dynamic spaces for teaching, learning, and social gathering. This semester, the focus is on developing skills for success and resilience through health and wellness. Expect free breakfast all week, crafts, interactive activities, clubs showcase, lounge spaces, Zumba, Happy Healthy Hour and much more! Find all the event details on The Playlist.

Join us for the launch of The Everyday Practice of Public Art: Art, Space and Social Inclusion, an anthology edited by Associate Professor, Dr. Cameron Cartiere and Martin Zebracki.

The book contains contributions from artists, curators, activists, writers and educators from North America, Europe and Australia—including members of the Emily Carr community, such as Justin Langlois (Associate Professor), Susan Stewart (Dean, Faculty of Culture + Community) and Elisa Yon (MAA alumna). The collection examines the evolution of public art, moving beyond monuments and memorials to focus on the development of socially engaged public art practice.
