EMERGE

The Emerge program provides intergenerational training and mentorship of young artists and arts professionals; networking and professional development opportunities for young people with an interest in arts and culture; and builds sectoral sustainability in the Fraser Valley by supporting growth and artistic excellence in regional emerging artists and arts professionals.

The program is generously sponsored by the RBC Emerging Artists Project Grant.


Supporting emerging artists and arts professionals in the Fraser Valley

Emerge is a program designed to give aspiring artists and arts professionals from the Fraser Valley aged 18-35 access to mentored, real-world opportunities as they transition toward established careers.

Emerge Exhibitons & Programs

Art on Demand

Art on Demand is an exhibition series presenting the work of emerging artists curated by emerging curators. This initiative is often participants’ first opportunity to display their artwork in a professional public gallery.

The series is open to emerging professionals between the ages of 18 and 35. Preference is given to applicants who live in or have a connection to the Fraser Valley.

Participating artists and curators receive an honorarium for their work.

CITI/SEEN

CITI/SEEN is the public art component of the Emerge program.

Each year a team of young, emerging artists are selected to work under the mentorship of an established mural artist to develop a mural design, pitch their design to a team of stakeholders, and complete all the necessary work and launch the mural to the public.

All participating artists are paid for their work.
