GO8 FREE Visual Arts Program during Spring Break




> GO8 is an introductory visual arts program and internship organized by Satellite Gallery for high-school students from across disciplines in Grades 11 and 12. GO8 is designed to inspire, engage and excite youth to become immersed in Vancouver’s contemporary art world, to work collaboratively, and to create a public art intervention with the group. Final project ideas can include creating a flash-mob event, a temporary public art piece, or a new work for the Gallery’s Seymour storefront window.

> GO8 will meet for five days over the 2013 spring break at Satellite Gallery, in the centre of downtown Vancouver, above CLUB 560. Satellite is shared by three leading public institutions: Presentation House Gallery, the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery and the Museum of Anthropology at UBC.
> GO8 will be led by a high-school art teacher, senior university students, gallery professionals, and Vancouver-based artists. GO8 will include a public art tour in downtown Vancouver, artist studio visits, workshops, as well as gallery and exhibition tours.
> GO8 is accepting applications from those wishing to broaden their knowledge of the Vancouver art scene while engaging in an exciting collaborative art project. Students who are admitted into the program will also receive 30 hours of work experience credit toward their graduation requirements. Students from disciplines as various as the arts, theatre, and the sciences are strongly encouraged to apply.
