Samuel Roy-Bois
July 8 to 12
$915 (5 days, 4 nights, inclusive)
Young artists ages 8 - 15 will explore their surroundings with artist Samuel Roy-Bois in the beautiful setting of Paradise Valley. This environment provides an ideal source to explore concepts of form and color. Students will receive in-depth instruction in collage, drawing, painting and printmaking. Working in small studio groups, teachers support individual skill development and artistic voice. This week long camp is thoughtfully balanced with outdoor recreation and studio time.
Samuel Roy-Bois was
born and raised in Quebec City. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts
degree from Laval University in 1996 and a Master of Fine Arts degree
from Concordia University in 2000. In 2013, he joined the University of
British Columbia, Okanagan, where he currently serves as an Associate
Professor of Sculpture in the Faculty of Creative and Critical
Studies. Roy-Bois' artistic practice encompasses installation,
sculpture, and photography, centering on the built environment,
vernacular practices, and art as an emergent phenomenon. His work has
garnered national and international recognition, featured in exhibitions
at esteemed institutions including the Musée d'art contemporain de
Montréal, the Audain Art Museum in Whistler, and the Esker Foundation in
Calgary. Additionally, his pieces are included in numerous Canadian
collections, such as the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the
Vancouver Art Gallery, and the Simon Fraser Art Gallery. In recognition of his contributions, Roy-Bois was honored with the Vancouver Mayor’s Award in 2012 and VIVA Award in 2021.
