The Charles H. Scott Gallery is pleased to present Drawings, a solo exhibition by distinguished Canadian artist Garry Neill Kennedy.

The exhibition features an extensive collection of nearly 1600 pieces, made up of notes, drawings and doodles begun during the artist’s twenty-three year tenure as president of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. The exhibition presents an accumulation of ten years worth of plans, from the late 1970s to the late 1980s, for future art works and installations, including exhibitions that occurred and ones that never transpired.

Welcome Lab is an optional orientation program for students who have been accepted to undergraduate study at the Emily Carr University of Art + Design.

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.
