The Drift Welcomes Elizabeth Vegh

The Drift welcomes Elizabeth Vegh as volunteer and our sponsored artist this year. Elizabeth is currently studying fine arts at Langara College, as well as finishing a sociology and anthropology joint major at SFU.

A common thread through Elizabeth’s work is the exploration of materials and process. Much of her art has been influenced by the study and interpretation of different artists and their work throughout the twentieth century- from Constantin Brancusi to Richard Hamilton.

Look for Elizabeth’s work during our October Art Walk!

iDrift 1.0

On Saturday, April 24, The Drift held a painting party fundraiser, iDrift 1.0. Hosted at Little Mountain Gallery, just about everyone who came out had a turn at painting. 30 blank canvasses, music by DJ Fattie, and very reasonably priced beverages made for a creative evening.

iDrift is the first of hopefully many smaller events to come leading up to The Drift Art Crawl in October. These gatherings aim to connect artists to each other and to the community. That can only be a good thing.

Did you come out to the event? Tell us what you thought in the comments!

COMING MAY 2010!
