2024 Paradise Valley Summer School of Visual Art
Samuel Roy-Bois
July 8 to 12
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 emphasize individual skill development and artistic style. This week long studio program is well balanced with outdoor recreation and studio time.
Samuel Roy-Bois (Quebec city, 1973) is an award-winning
artist and Associate Professor in Sculpture at the University of
British Columbia, Okanagan campus. He is widely recognized for his
large-scale installations and interdisciplinary practice exploring the
complex dynamics defining our relationships to the built
environment. His work, which includes sculpture, installation,
performance, photography, drawing and writing, explores the role of
objects in sensemaking. His practice is broad, and finds inspiration in
the everyday, the critique of modes of cultural production and the pure
pleasure of making. Roy-Bois has an MFA Degree in Studio Arts from
Concordia University (Montréal) and a BFA from Université Laval, (Quebec
city). His work has been presented at The Esker Foundation, Calgary;
The Polygon Gallery, North Vancouver; Carleton University Art Gallery,
Ottawa; MusĂ©e dâart contemporain de MontrĂ©al; Contemporary Art Gallery,
Vancouver; Musée National des Beaux Arts du Québec, Québec city; SFU Art
Gallery, Burnaby; Oakville Art Galleries, Oakville; Kamloops Art
Gallery; Vancouver Art Gallery and Point éphémÚre, Paris.
Registration opens February 1, 2024.
