Arts Partners in Creative Development hands out last of funding for new work
Two large new artworks by Ken Lum, a hip-hop musical, and a heartfelt theatrical ode to a dying mother are just some of the recipients of the final funding handout from the Arts Partners in Creative Development.
The multilevel partnership of funding bodies dispersed $800,000 for its last installment. It has given a total $6.2 million across the province in the past three years for groups to create new work as an artistic legacy spun out of the Olympic Games.
The Vancouver Art Gallery received one of the highest amounts, $90,540, for Monument to East Vancouver artist Ken Lum to create two large-scale new pieces. They’ll be central to a planned survey of his work. Ken Lum: Mirror Maze With 12 Signs of Depression and House of Realization.
Another 90 grand is going to Neworld Theatre to develop James Fagan Tait’s adaptation of Fyodor Dostoyesvsky’s The Idiot for the 2012 PuSh International Performing Arts Festival.
Presentation House Gallery and the B.C. Photography and Media Arts Society received $82,000 for Cedric Bomford and collaborators to create a major new public artwork.
