State of the Art is an 9 day long art exhibition presented by Watermark, the organizers of the TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival. In previous years, this art event was hosted by the touring art show, BRAVE Art. The organizers of BRAVE Art set high standards for what people would come to expect at the TWSSF.
This year, State of the Art picks up where BRAVE Art left off and continues to carry on the dynamic, high-end-lowbrow art that we look forward to each year.
For the week leading up to the events at TWSSF, I gathered and posted information on some of the artists featured at State of the Art. Below are the links to pages within wallfarmers(dot)ca and links to the artists personal websites/contact information.

On a separate but same note, sharpie artist Tim Barnard had a little side project going on for the Saturday and Sunday at the Pontiac stage in Village Square. Tim was to draw on a brand new Pontiac Vibe that gets raffled off to one lucky winner.
