School is expensive, that's why Vancouver Art Attack is committed to helping students realize their dreams, through the creation of The Vancouver Art Attack Award for Excellence in Visual Art at The Emily Carr University of Art and Design.

Sculpture: "Very Rarely Does It Happen On Your Own Terms"
"I'm truly humbled by this award and had no expectations of being given anything, so I may not have the words to express how grateful I am other than a simple but honest thank you. This will be put forward to help me begin my practice and give me the encouragement in knowing that someone, somewhere might enjoy the work that I do."

"It is an incredible experience to finish my studies so strong with this award. Through the difficulties of this year, it was great to realize that I can adapt to the circumstances, and have the results be fruitful- a very important lesson during this time. It has made the finality of my studies that much sweeter, and has allowed me the time to find a career path that truly fits. Very seldom are we granted this luxury."
