Charles up for the PENN IDEA

SCA alumnus Roxanne Charles is a finalist for the PENN IDEA Art Award, which is administered by Patrik Andersson's Trapp Projects Gallery (274 East 1st Avenue, Vancouver [enter via back door], open Thursdays from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM + Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM). Charles will be part of an exhibition at Trapp Projects running June 19 – July 3 with the two other finaists, Jacob Strohan and Svava Tergesen, along with work from the VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation Art Collection, opening Saturday, June 18, 2022, from 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM, with the winner being announced at 8:00 PM. The winner will receive $5000 dollars along with a commission to be installed at VGH. Here's what Trapp Projects says about the award:

Founded in 2009 by Dr. Ian Penn (BFA 2010) and Dr. Sandy Penn Whitehouse, the PENN IDEA Art Award was established to link the world of visual art with that of health care via a response by the recipients to site-specific needs at Vancouver General Hospital, UBC Hospital and other health care facilities like GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre. Initially awarded through Emily Carr University of Art and Design to an ECUAD student or alumnus, we are excited to announce that the award has now evolved to include students and postgraduates from other Fine Art degree granting institutions in the Lower Mainland. Over the past eleven years, the winning work has been placed in different areas of our hospitals as part of the VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation Art Collection.
