The Audain Professorship of Contemporary Art Practice of the Pacific Northwest brings Indigenous artists into UVic's classrooms. Audain professors, each practicing contemporary
artists, split their time between the studio and teaching a course, which is open to all students across campus.
Visual Arts students at the University of Victoria will benefit from a $2-million gift from BC art philanthropist Michael Audain and the Audain Foundation. The gift will establish
the Audain Professorship in Contemporary Art Practice of the Pacific Northwest, bringing a distinguished practicing artist to teach in UVic’s Department of Visual Arts.
