The School for the Contemporary Arts is turning 50!
Be True to Your School is a fundraising exhibition and online auction that celebrates our illustrious alumni for the 50th anniversary of the School for the Contemporary Arts! The exhibition features the work of 50 visual artists, including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, and other objects. It also features a program of events by alumni made up of curators, musicians, filmmakers, theatre and performance-makers, and dance artists.
The exhibition marks the return of the stewardship of the Audain Gallery to the SCA, which first ran the gallery from 2010 to 2013. Having the gallery restored to its original mandate is truly wonderful but it comes back to us at a time when the university is facing substantial austerity measures. Critically, the auction will provide much needed support for upcoming student programming. All funds raised from the auction will directly support a program of exhibitions and events by and for students!
The School for the Contemporary Arts has played a vital role in shaping arts and culture in our city and beyond. Our alumni have exhibited nationally and internationally in significant solo exhibitions and group projects. Locally our graduates have started art galleries, dance, music, and theatre companies that are thriving and continue to contribute to the cultural fabric of Vancouver.
Please join us in celebrating 50 years of the School for the Contemporary Arts with the exhibition Be True to Your School. The online auction goes live on November 12th! Place your bids!
