In 2006, two Emily Carr alumni and working artists, Serena McCarroll (02) and Tyler Brett (01) fled the high cost of living in Vancouver and moved to a place where they knew absolutely nobody, Bruno, Saskatchewan, population 500. They set up a storefront building in which they housed their own unique brand of café and art shop called called All Citizens. It was the ultimate culmination of a DIY aesthetic forged onto a rural landscape. The story and images around this venture can now be found in a book project, along with the work of fellow Emily Carr alumni, Jason McLean (97).
Information on the All Citizens books can be found here and here. You can also watch a Q&A session of the book launch with Serena McCarroll and artist and author Shannon Gerard in Toronto here.
You are invited to join the 2013 graduates from Emily Carr Univesity of Art + Design at the 2013 Grad Party at 14 West 7th Ave in Vancouver, BC on May 4, 2013. The event will include a multiroom party, with music, visuals, installations, prizes in two locations at West 7 Studios and Photohaus Gallery. This amazing location is both gallery, studio and school, but will be re-imagined into interactive stages, installation spaces, photo booths, and other surprises.
Join us as our campus is transformed — featuring more than 300 works from this year’s Design, Media and Visual Arts graduates.
