Presented by the Coast to Cascades Grizzly Bear Initiative & the Pemberton Arts Council
Local artists are invited to submit artwork for a special exhibition celebrating the Grizzly Bear: an iconic and powerful symbol recognized locally and globally. This collaborative event is designed to spark awareness, emotion, and inspiration through the power of creative expression.
For thousands of years in the Sea-to-Sky area of southwest BC, Grizzly Bears are prominently connected to First Nations Culture & History and are an important species significantly contributing to the health and vitality of ecosystems. Grizzly Bears can be protective and gentle, they are intelligent, inquisitive, and often misunderstood. Today, Grizzly Bears face mounting pressures to survive on a changing landscape, and while some populations are recovering, others could become locally extirpated within our lifetime.
Prizes awarded to the top 3 artworks in both age categories, selected by a jury and public vote!
Submission Deadline is September 15th. Click on the button below to review the online Submission Form and Terms and Conditions.
