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 increased to $25,000, making it one of the country’s largest accolades dedicated to supporting visual artists.

This year's exhibiting finalists are: Bagua Artist Association, Alejandro A. Barbosa, Dana Qaddah, Pegah Tabassinejad, and Ximena Velázquez. They were selected from a longlist of more than 60 nominees by a panel of esteemed international jurors: critically acclaimed artist Stan Douglas; Candice Hopkins, executive director of Forge Project in Taghkanic, New York; and Susanne Pfeffer, director of the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt, Germany.
