About the Exhibition
A showcase of new work by the finalists of the Philip B. Lind Prize for Emerging Artists. Established in 2016, this honour is awarded biennially to an emerging BC-based artist working in mediums of photography, film, or video. Artists are nominated for the prize by arts professionals from institutions, organisations, and post-secondary programs across the province. In 2024, thanks to a generous donation from the Lind family, the prize amount has increased to $25,000, making it one of the country’s largest accolades dedicated to supporting visual artists.
This year's exhibiting finalists are: Mena El Shazly, Karice Mitchell, Dion Smith-Dokkie, Parumveer Walia, and Casey Wei. They were selected from a longlist of more than 60 nominees by a panel of esteemed international jurors: Grace Deveny, the Art Institute of Chicago's David C. and Sarajean Ruttenberg Associate Curator, Photography and Media; Brian Jungen, acclaimed contemporary artist; and Aram Moshayedi, writer, interim chief curator at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, and current curator-in residence at Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo in Mexico City.
