In partnership with Brookfield Properties, AUArts invites students to submit original artworks for display in various offices downtown! This exciting project features rotating digital exhibitions throughout 2023 and 2024. This is an exceptional opportunity for current AUArts students to receive honorariums and gain exhibition experience and exposure in high-traffic locations including Bankers Hall, Suncor Energy Centre, Bankers Courts, Fifth Avenue Place and Brookfield Place.
Three artworks per calendar month and up to 36 pieces per calendar year, will be selected and rotated across the properties. Students are welcome and encouraged to submit up to four pieces for consideration. Subject matter must be suitable for all audiences and ages.
