Chester Fields 2019: Something In My Eye

Gallery hours

Tu–Su: 10 am–5 pm; M: closed
Admission by donation.

Chester Fields is The Polygon Gallery’s teen outreach program. Every year, the gallery invites young artists in high school from across the Lower Mainland to create an original work of photographic art in response to a unique theme. This year’s theme, Something In My Eye, challenges artists to think close to the camera’s lens and to experiment with ways of interrupting or changing the lens’s ability to view and capture its photographic subject. The submissions are juried by Peppa Martin, writer, curator and director of Truth and Beauty Gallery; Ian McGuffie, award-winning photographer and Head of Digital Photography at VanArts; and Birthe Piontek, acclaimed artist and faculty member at Emily Carr University of Art + Design.
