ABOUT EMERGE
Emerge is a series of talks, workshops and behind-the-scenes tours dedicated to introducing visual art and art history students to the Vancouver art scene, with an emphasis on professional development. Each year, Emerge focuses around a key theme or set of ideas to guide discussions and events. The guiding themes of the 2021/22 academic year are Art, Community and Social Change. Emerge is organized by the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, the Art History Students’ Association, the Visual Art Students’ Association and the Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory at UBC. For more information about Emerge, contact Naomi Sawada, Manager of the Belkin’s Public Programs, at naomi.sawada@ubc.ca.
