Emily Carr Announces New Board Members
Emily Carr University of Art + Design is pleased to announce two new Board of Governor appointments to the University.
Ceramics = Art + Design
Strongly committed to contemporary concerns and 21-century technologies, the Ceramics program has continued to embrace current social practices across the cultural landscape of art and design. The program seeks to mine the wealth of new possibilities offered by the merging of traditional ceramics techniques with digital technologies, while maintaining its cultivation of sensitivity to the rich history of the medium and the continuing cultural resonance of that legacy. Often cross-listed with courses in other areas, ceramics offerings at Emily Carr foster collaboration of both ideas and methods.

Takao Tanabe | Chronicles of Form and Place: Works on Paper
Former faculty and Honorary Degree Recipient Takao Tanabe is featured in a retrospective exhibition at the Burnaby Art Gallery.
The exhibition will feature drawings and watercolours by the artist from 1945 to the present day. The intent of the exhibition is to chronicle the artist’s career through his drawing practice – often the starting point for paintings. The exhibition will examine, critically, how the artist has changed, adapted and/or reflected upon his subjects and the use of media to render a sense of “place” within his artwork. The exhibition is being co-curated by Darrin Martens and Ihor Holubisky (curator at McMaster Museum Art). Burnaby Art Gallery
