AAM Emerging Artists Project presented by RBC
Call for Artists
The Audain Art Museum (AAM) is deeply committed to fostering the growth of a thriving arts community and the support of Canada’s emerging artistic talent. Museums are a key element in the advancement of a successful artistic career, yet there is a lack of opportunity to directly connect emerging artists with museum professionals. In conjunction with Emily Carr: Fresh Seeing – French Modernism and the West Coast, the AAM has developed the Emerging Artists Project. This new program will provide professional development opportunities for ten emerging artists through a series of dialogues with a group of museum professionals and art collectors. Participants will ask questions and discuss challenges while gaining insight on museum practices.
