Call for Applications
THE LEEWAY STUDIO RESIDENCY

Emily Carr Continuing Studies invites visual artists and designers* to submit applications for a 4-month Studio Residency in the Leeway from September - December 2015.

The Leeway is a multi-disciplinary resourced studio space for artists and designers.  It is a shared, open studio space suitable for those who are seeking to forge a sense of community while cultivating their creative practice and exploring new techniques and processes.  Artists and designers in The Leeway work alongside other makers and learn from experienced technicians and instructors through demonstrations and workshops.

Paper artist Rachael Ashe began her residency in The Leeway studio this month and the former photographer is already making headway on her own project while preparing to host two studio events.

“It is a more dedicated day when I come into The Leeway,” says Ashe of her residency so far. “Even just three weeks in, I’ve gotten a lot done.”

Currently working on a project about pattern design, including Japanese textiles and Islamic designs from architecture, Rachael is hoping to put together an installation incorporating these patterns.

Surrey Art Gallery is presenting Views from the Southbank II: Moments, Reflections, Intervals, the second of three exhibitions celebrating the Gallery’s 40th anniversary. The exhibit features portraits of people and places in Surrey and the surrounding area by 29 different artists, including:

Back Gallery Project and Pattison Art in Transit are presenting the anticipated third and final iteration of their Strathcona Billboard Project with Annie Briard’s public art work Any Day Now as part of Capture Photography Festival.

Instructor and MAA alumna Annie Briard ('13) creates moving images and lens-focused work to confront visual perception and the interpretation of what we see. Her practice exploits elements that influence vision including embodiment, reverie, and ocular phenomena. By decontextualizing what the viewer expects of billboards, using the optical recursive void and offering a stereoscopic 3D viewing potential, Any Day Now underlines connections between visual attention, wonder, and possibility.

Shop Technologies Coordinator and Continuing Studies instructor Vanessa Hall-Patch has been awarded second place for her piece House sampler, land sampler at the 35th Bradley International Print and Drawing Exhibition.

The Bradley International Print and Drawing Exhibition is the second-longest running juried print and drawing competition in the United States. Every two years it features contemporary graphic artwork from around the globe. This year the 35th Bradley International features the work of 108 artists and the juror is Beth Grabowski, Professor and Assistant Department Chair at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

This summer, Emily Carr University of Art + Design will run 10-day creative intensives in Whistler and Prince George offering teens across the province the oppportunity to explore the arts in immersive and vibrant environments. Not only will local teens aged 15-18 in these cities be able to work with university faculty, but an accommodation option for Whistler will open the program up to students from Vancouver to Dawson Creek.

The University is pleased to welcome Tene Barber as Executive Director, Continuing Studies.

As part of the University's academic leadership team, Ms. Barber takes on the strategic development of Emily Carr University's lifelong learning programs, and delivery of the broad range of offerings we currently provide to our many communities. From teen programs and professional certificates, to The Leeway's drop-in studio space and corporate creativity programs, Emily Carr University's Department of Continuing Studies has opportunities for study in the creative disciplines for students of all ages and interests.
