Emily Carr

The free family-friendly event takes place on Halloween beginning around 2 in the afternoon in the courtyard at 207 Government Street.

The afternoon will include Halloween crafts, Animal stories inspired by artist Emily Carr and a pet costume contest.

Pet owners can register for the costume contest in advance.

Organizers say spots are limited, so advanced registration is recommended.

Uh, is it things that people can come and do workshops, or is it more kind of immersing yourself in the art or maybe seeing an exhibit that speaks to you in a certain way or maybe from an artist that, that you're unfamiliar with?

An example is the exhibition we have on right now, which is Emily Carr.

It's called That Green Ideal, and you know, there couldn't be anything more BC or Canadian than Emily Carr.

And, uh, and her work is so much, uh, it's almost an urban forest bathing experience because you're surrounded by a forest.

So when people are prescribed a visit, they actually have a slow-looking guide through the Emily Carr.

They pick it up at the front desk, and they're invited to walk through that exhibition with certain prompts and ways of reacting.

And then after that, they actually, there's barcodes on the back of that experience guide that can also take them into a provincial park, into Seymour or Cypress, where they can experience walks of, or interactions of varying, varying degrees.

It's actually, you know, that's where the prescription really helps [laughs] when your doctor says, "Listen, I know you've tried a lot of things.

So, uh, uh, uh, Joe, I, well, when I did my undergrad at Carleton, I used to go down to the, the gallery, the National Gallery, and there was Lawren Harris paintings, like, almost play all the time.

Emily Carr, uh, several Group of Sevens, uh, just incredible artwork in there.

Really was, uh, you know, in, in my backyard, so I used to go just on my own and, you know, smoke a little weed and just go for a tour and have a good time.

Appr- appreciate art.

We've seen millions of people come through our doors in the last 95 years.

And if you're interested in BC, there's Emily Carr, who's our foremost painter from BC, very well celebrated.

And there's a huge exhibition on her work right now, the biggest in 20 years.

If you go to a gallery now and you see the work of an artist like Brian Jungin, for example, that's kind of a resurgence of indigenous contemporary art that you don't see anywhere else in the world.

Over the years, the art gallery has transformed and evolved with the city, and visitors can catch a glimpse through this retro wall.

You know, on the one hand, you see the covers of all these magazines, Vanguard Magazine, the gallery published starting in 1972.

That picture, for example, Emily Carr with her dog.

She's often pictured with her monkey.

Get the help.

In honor of Maple, two bursaries were set up helping dozens of SFU health sciences and Emily Carr students pursue their dreams.

It's not like she's ever gone in a way in her memories.

Maple's death leaving a permanent painful void that can never be filled.

those guys.

All right, so the origins of this movie, it sounds like, is that Kelly originally wanted to make a biopic about a Canadian painter named Emily Carr.

I'm not familiar with Emily Carr.

No idea who that is, yeah.

And I guess she lived like 100 years ago, you know, whatever.

Yeah, no shit.

Yeah.

so that was their intention and then they go to canada to try and do some research and then they find out like emily carr is super duper famous like they we they'd never heard of her because she's american and we're american we don't know her but apparently the canadians know all about emily carr and that was uh enough for them to be like yeah maybe we're not so interested in this which
