opening tonight 6-8pm at Libby Leshgold Gallery :)

Please join us for the opening of 𝘌𝘯 𝘙𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘦: 𝘮𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 on Thursday, September 11 at 6pm.


With contributions from the ECU Outreach Program (1979 -1984), Ian Wallace, Laiwan, the 2014 Kamias Triennial, Avenue (165 E. Hastings) and Duplex (4277 and 4257 Fraser Street), and Moniker Press.

𝘌𝘯 𝘙𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘦: 𝘮𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 brings together historical and contemporary source materials, media and artworks. Beginning in the Emily Carr University Archives, this exhibition takes inspiration from a period from 1979 – 1984, when a now-legendary Outreach Program at ECU was most active. Presented alongside these programs is the work of ECU faculty, alumni, and community members whose work embodies themes of expanded learning beyond the classroom.

These histories and practices explore the significance of artist-led classrooms and informal learning environments and the impacts and legacies they have had across communities. 𝘌𝘯 𝘙𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘦 is above all a celebration of the possibilities of a porous classroom, and the many ways artists have experimented with the form through practices of mutual support, space creation, and radical dissemination.

100 Years in the Making | This exhibition has been curated in support of ECU100, Emily Carr University of Art + Design’s centennial anniversary.
