📢 Have you heard? The next iteration of the Tanabe Prize exhibition, spotlighting @raincabanaboucher's work, is on view in the Ramp Gallery!

The Tanabe Prize is an annual award given to artists whose primary medium is painting & who are residents of BC. Cabana-Boucher was chosen for the prize as an emerging artist, & Robert Burke (who previously had paintings on view in the Ramp Gallery) was chosen as a mid-career artist.

Rain Cabana-Boucher, is a Michif/British settler interdisciplinary artist raised in treaty 6 territory, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Their family has historic ties to the Michif communities of St-François-Xavier, St. Boniface, and St. Louis, Saskatchewan. They currently live and work on the stolen land of the Sḵwx̱ wú7mesh, Səl ̓ ílwətaʔ, and xwməθkwəy̓ əm Nations. Cabana-Boucher is a recent recipient of the Griffin Art Projects BIPOC Studio Art Award 2023, and a BC Arts Council Early Career Development Grant. They recently had work exhibited For Love, Loss and Land at Open Space Gallery, Response, Resonance at the Polygon Gallery and Shaping Relations, Teathered Together at the Legacy Art Gallery. They are currently an artist in residence at the WEDGE residency with the Contemporary Art of Vancouver and Ground Floor Art Centre.

Cabana-Boucher explores the autobiographical in relation to place and politics; seeking to navigate the complexities of identity within environments that are rapidly changing under systematic pressures. Their practice includes the use of mixed media works often using painting, sculpture, drawing and beading.
