Congratulations to Marten Sims, winner of Emily Carr’s IDEA Art Award, 2011!

The Caroline Victoria Coldicutt Arts Foundation is pleased to introduce the Caroline Victoria Rose for the Arts.  The CVCAF, a non-profit organization established in 2006 to celebrate the memory and artistic passion of Caroline Victoria Coldicutt, funds an annual art scholarship at Emily Carr University of Art + Design.  According to Elizabeth Wood Coldicutt, president of the CVCAF,  “Over 30% profit from the sale of each rose will go toward the Caroline Victoria Arts Scholarship at Emily Carr to help and assist student artists in need.”

Emily Carr University of Art + Design is pleased to announce that RBC has committed $20,000 ($10,000 each year for the next two years) to provide urgently needed support for Aboriginal students at Emily Carr. 

A portion of the donation has been earmarked to establish the RBC Emerging Aboriginal Artist Award; the balance is allocated to the RBC Aboriginal Awards to help reduce the financial barriers that can prevent students from achieving their educational goals.

If “art is in the eye of the beholder”, then surely it can be said that vision lies in the soul of the artist. And so it was with Caroline, a reserved young woman who had a passion for art and a love for peaceful colour blended in tranquil landscape scenes. At an early age, Caroline demonstrated an exceptional talent winning regional art awards and showing her work in museums, galleries and exhibitions in California, London and Paris.

At age 17, Caroline passed away tragically, but her artistic legacy lives on through the Caroline Victoria Coldicutt Arts Foundation (CVCAF), a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting student artists in need.
