Reliance Theatre – Emily Carr University of Art + Design
520 East 1st Avenue, Vancouver, BC V5T 0H2

Join us for the first edition of this year’s Working Artists panel series, featuring
presentations and group discussions with ECU alumni Gabrielle Strong (visual and
public artist), Pongsakorn Yananissorn (Plaza Projects), Matt Troy (Founder and
Director Vancouver Arts and Leisure), and Steffanie Ling (Events and Exhibitions
Curator, VIVO; independant critic).

Working Artists is a semi-annual series of lectures and workshops for students and
emerging artists. In this session, panelists practicing arts professionals from a wide
variety of disciplines share how they first emerged into their field through a focus on
public engagement and supporting community. Speakers will share experience from
a range of approaches including creating non-profit organizations in the arts,
curating, art writing, and public art.

The panel presentation will be followed by a moderated Q + A and breakout
sessions introducing audience members to the speakers and each other.

This is a free event; everyone is welcome.
Working Artists is part of the Visual Art Forums and is co-presented by the Audain
Faculty of Art, the Faculty of Culture + Community and the Career + Professional
Development Office.
