The Centre of International Contemporary Arts in Vancouver has been holding the International Art Awards since 2021. This year the jurors are Viahsta Yuan, Sho Sho Esquiro, and Xu, Ning.
Jury Process
Longlisted Artists: Will be part of a 4-week group exhibition at CICA Vancouver, providing both local and international visibility.
The exhibition will be held physically at CICA Vancouver and digitally, accessible to a global audience. Public voting will be factored into the People’s Choice Award.
Shortlisting and Awards: The Jury will select the shortlist during the exhibition, taking public feedback into consideration. Final award announcements will be made one week before the exhibition closes.
Kezleigh has been longlisted from the first round of the open calls. Her work “Are we there yet?” was chosen to represent her.
“A mother looks at her palm trying to find her future in them. She asks if we’ve found equality yet. The next generation (her daughter) asks the same question. They’re both dressed in mosaic dresses, a nod to history and glass-ceiling breakthroughs. The stars are what they’re reaching for.”
Follow along and keep an eye out for the public voting part of this exciting opportunity!
