Emily Carr University of Art + Design is hosting its annual Alumni Art Market on campus this weekend and you should check it out. From the architecture-focused work of Mira Song to the light hearted illustrations of Joni Taylor, browsers can expect a little bit of everything — prints, ceramics, canvases, clothing and more — from sixteen different artists. The lineup this year looks super dynamic and thoughtful. Whether you pull the trigger on a new piece of art or not, the range of work will make your extended exploration of Granville Island all the more interesting and enjoyable. See you there!
