EMILY CARR UNIVERSITY of Art + Design's legendary Student Art Sale is a chance to score one-of-a-kind pieces from some of Vancouver's finest emerging artists and designers in time for the holiday season.
Marking the 50th anniversary of the annual sale, the large-scale in-person event takes over the Michael O'Brian Exhibition Commons at the campus on East 1st Avenue, featuring a wide range of art forms and design. Think oil paintings, ink illustrations, photographs, prints, ceramics, sculptures, jewellery and other wearable works, housewares, and much more. Prices range from about $20 to over $100.
This year there will be more than 230 participating students .
Seek out Kamila Bashir ceramics, with their unique hexagonal cups and offbeat pastel glazes. Bangladeshi-born interdisciplinary artist Faria Binte Firoz explores globalization, cultural diaspora, and identity through beautifully bold paintings; check out Diverse Feathers, with colourful birds set against scrolling blockprint-like backgrounds. Other highlights include Cherry Hou’s cute, emoji inspired bags and prints; Kai Liu’s expressive oil and landscape studies of familiar Whistler scenes; and Pierce Sinclair’s textural photos, like Thistle and Barbed Wire.
