Emily Carr Institute receives start-up funding for PG campus at WIDC

The BC Government is providing 2.1 Million dollars in start up funding for the Emily Carr Institute in Prince George.

The school will be setting up shop at the Wood Innovation and Design Centre in the fall of 2016.

Minister of Jobs, Skills Training and Jobs, Shirley Bond says the funding will be put to good use.

“It will allow Emily Carr to consult in phase 2 with the community they will be hosting an open house here on September 18th and 19th and I would love to see the people of Prince George come and respond and to provide their input.”

Associate Vice-President of External Relations for Emily Carr, Broek Bosma says it’s a perfect fit for both sides.

“The idea of matching art and design with wood at it’s source with the fibre is harvested is something that is unique to our province.”

Emily Carr will also have an exhibit at the Mini-Maker Faire at the Two Rivers Art Gallery.
