Master of Fine Arts alumni Lisa Lipton (MFA ’06) and Zeke Moores (MFA ’05) are on this year’s Sobey Art Award long list of nominees representing the Atlantic provinces.
Both artists exhibit their work at the national and international level. Lipton is a multidisciplinary visual artist, musician and director, and Moores’ art explores the social and political economies of everyday objects and our complex relationships with them. He also teaches sculpture at the School of Creative Arts.
The Sobey’s shortlist exhibition takes place from September 26, 2015 to January 3, 2016, at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia in Halifax.
The Award Announcement Gala is scheduled for October 28 at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.
