PRINCE GEORGE – The Prince George Community Arts Council announced its eighth Artist-in-Residence.Erin Stagg has been in Prince George for the past eight years and, as a landscape artist, has been very active in the arts community and this will help her broaden her presence.
“It’s given the Arts Council the ability to utilize the skills that I have,” she explains. “I have taught painting parties for four years now and I’m a really well-versed teacher. I get the advantage of having a louder microphone. I have a space that I can come and teach classes, which I’m very excited about.”
Stagg is the eighth Artist-in-Residence for the Community Arts Council.
“This past year was really a unique experience in having art instruction focusing on youth being a core element of Donna Morrison’s residency, and when we reviewed the applications for this year, Erin’s unique style really stood out to us.”, says Sean Farrell, Arts Council Executive Director. “Erin is an ambitious artist with a strong desire to develop her career. As a Métis artist and member of the Northern Indigenous Arts Council, we are excited that Erin will make the Indigenous connection to nature a central feature of her residency.”
