Grand Foyer, TELUS Whistler Conference Centre

You don’t need to go to the urban streets to find art that resonates with grit, tension and the stank of a counterculture. You just have to enter the basements of the resort world.


State of the Art is the TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival’s NEW art show.
A statement, a question, and a whole new way of looking, STATE OF THE ART gathers the underground scapes brewing beneath the cities and mountains, and transforms the TELUS Conference Centre Foyer into a place of mind-bombs and eye-candy.
 
Featuring break-out and renowned contemporary artists from the worlds of street and snow, State of the Art picks up where Brave Art (2006-2008) left off, and asks what the hell are you looking at?

Showcasing over 30 artists in a 150 plus piece installation, art mediums include canvas, sculpture, skate decks, photography, film and graffiti. DJs, drinks, livepainting and an artist reception make the State of the Art opening a must-do event.
