She has continued her professional practice, both in Canada and Europe, receiving numerous grants and awards for her work, including from the Canada Council for the Arts and B.C. Arts Council. Przybille has participated in artist resi-
dency programs in B.C., Nunavut, and the Netherlands. She has been awarded numerous public commissions including a temporary public sculpture for Rotterdam’s World Port Days to be installed in Sept. 2013, as well as the Victoria 150 Public Art Commission, The Hands of Time, also to be completed in 2013. Her latest public project was the Father Pandosy Mission 150th Anniversary Commemorative Sculpture, erected in Kelowna earlier this year. Culture Days is an annual, nation-wide volunteer movement to raise awareness, accessibility, participation
and engagement in arts and cultural community activities. “Culture Days is a strong initiative that promotes arts at a community level that are accessible to everyone. The Vernon Public Art Gallery stands for the same values,” said Kennedy Grant.“We want visual arts to be available to everyone. The benefits are enormous, and we are happy to take part in this annual event for the fourth year in a row.” Culture Days events are free and open to the public. For anyone wishing to participate in the yarn bombing, meet at 11 a.m. at the VPAG, 322831st Ave. More information is available by calling 250-545-3173.
