Blim presents an exhibition, New Works, by Masters of Applied Art candidate Allison (Sunny) Karow.

Originally from Phoenix, AZ, Sunny has been displaying work in group and solo shows since 2004 and has participated in curating shows in alternative art spaces. She is the founder of a community bike shop in Tempe, AZ and ran a small house/venue, YOBS, for five years with a small group of friends before moving to Vancouver to go back to school.

A collaboration between Emily Carr and St. Paul’s Hospital Art Committee has concluded with the stunning work, Three Views of Vancouver.

Current fourth year student Janice Wu was featured in the Huffington Post in the Culture and Art Section. Janice's intricate drawings of receipts, soy sauce packets and other everyday items are familiar and nearly photo-realistic and yet somehow foreign. Visit Huffington Post to read the article.

We begin the 2011 fall semester with 464 new undergraduate students and 23 new graduate students for a total student population of close to 1800 students from over 60 countries. These students represent part of the next generation of visual artists, media artists and designers who will have a significant impact on the future of the creative industries in Canada and the world.

The University received 1300 applications for 365 Foundation (First Year) places and 309 applications for 130 second and third year transfer places. There were 189 resident applications for 30 places in the graduate program and 24 low residency applications. Amongst our successful applicants are many individuals with outstanding academic credentials and accomplished artistic endeavours. 

Congratulations to current low residency MAA candidate, Luigi Allemano, who composed the music for Oscar nominated Dimanche/Sunday.

The film, nominated in the Short Film/Animation category, is about a small boy's Sunday filled with both ordinary and extraordinary events.

Drawing their inspiration from work conducted at TRIUMF, Canada's national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics, students in associate professor Ingrid Koenig's Black Holes class have created numerous pieces of artwork which are now on display to the public.
