The Polygon First Nations Art Award has honoured over 100 artists for their outstanding contributions to artistic excellence, recognizing work deeply rooted in First Nations traditions while fostering storytelling, mentorship, and cultural engagement. The Sam Carter Applied Art + Design Award celebrates functional art, showcasing pieces with practical applications that enrich the cultural and economic fabric of BC.
Dates: November 24, 2024 – January 25, 2025
Location: Bentall Centre 3, 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver
Following a week-long exhibit at The Roundhouse in Vancouver last month, select pieces have been curated for showcase at Hudson Properties, Bentall 3 Tower starting November 25. The exhibition features works of 2024 alumni of both of BC Achievement’s art programs and includes Stephanie Anderson, Kelly Cannell, Andy Everson, James Hart (71DANsuu), Himikalas Pam Baker, Brent Comber, Robin DuPont, and Meghan Weeks.
Curators Sheila Hall and Ray Hartley have created a stunning display of some of BC’s best artists through a respectful approach and eye for detail. This showcase is a new BC Achievement initiative, bringing alumni art to public spaces by collaborating with partners. The exhibition at the Bentall Centre provides an additional opportunity for the public to experience the incredible work of BC Achievement alumni in a new and dynamic space, while raising awareness of the foundation’s award programs and providing exposure for the artists.
