Speakers will share experience from a range of approaches including studio art production to sales, illustration and tattooing, sculpture, ceramics and painting.

The panel presentation will be followed by a Q + A and breakout sessions.

This is a free event open to everyone.

Working Artists is co-presented by the Audain Faculty of Visual Art + Material Practice, the Faculty of Culture + Community and the Career + Professional Development Office.

They met during their course of studies at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, where they formed the Collective to support each other in endeavours and share space, tools and knowledge after graduating. Currently the Babes are honoured to be working in Don Hutchinson's beautiful South Surrey studio following his retirement. As artists, they hold diverse practices, from functional pottery to sculpture to design to illustration to curatorial and social projects, investigating topics including femininity, ritual, accessibility and community, Canadian-ness, and the end of the world.
