  • 2019 Kwi Am Choi Exhibition Scholarship Fund

  • In 2007 the family of talented artist Kwi Am Choi endowed the Port Moody Arts Centre Society (PoMoArts) with funds to create the Kwi Am Choi Scholarship Fund. The fund was established to provide encouragement and support to emerging solo artists between the ages of 18 and 30. The objectives of the fund are to further the skills and experiences of student artists, to expand their artistic careers, and to enable them to better promote their work. This is to be done by covering the costs of mounting a solo exhibition of their work at the Port Moody Arts Centre. The four week exhibition will take place between June and August 2019. The amount of the scholarship will be $2000.

    Proposals will be evaluated by a jury of art professionals in a blind jurying process. On receiving your application, we will contact you and establish an ongoing conversation about your project. We want you to succeed, and we will do what we can to help you.
