NEWS RELEASE
QUEST ART SCHOOL AND GALLERY
*******************************
To acknowledge how a vibrant arts and culture community leads to personal and economic growth for all, TD Wealth - Thor Wealth Management Group is working with Quest Art to sponsor three prestigious art prizes for our 2020 annual juried exhibition, with a focus on the environment.
Artists will be asked to create submissions that reflect the material and ecological consequences of what the role of the artist is, and can be, in this new age of the 'Anthropocene', a recently proposed term indicating that we have entered a new geologic era in which human impact on the planet measures at the scale of the geologic.
We will be challenging artists as to how they can respond to this unprecedented moment of ecological crisis.
A national open call to Canadian artists, this investment in the arts helps to ensure rural or remote communities have access to high quality programming through exposure to some of Canada’s best works of art.
The exhibition will be presented online. All media/approaches are welcome.
"The show must go on! We are pleased to bring you the 3rd annual TD Wealth Thor Wealth Management Juried Art Exhibition in partnership with Quest Art. As these are unprecedented times around the global and much has changed within our daily routines, we think it is important to continue to support the Arts in times likes these. After all, most art pieces have grown out of, or have been inspired by, past movements such as this. As humans, we must look forward, embrace change and continue to innovate. This year, the exhibition theme, 'Environment', is even more important, as we must protect our precious environment for the future. We wish everyone be safe and healthy." - Michael and Sarah Thor
