Beau Lake x Swim Drink Fish

We are excited to announce that Beau Lake is collaborating with Artists for Water, a Swim Drink Fish fundraiser, to produce a limited-edition surfboard collection featuring the work of renowned artists, Christi Belcourt, Douglas Coupland, Graham Gillmore and Joe Fleming - to be purchased in support of clean water.

The boards will be offered in conjunction with the 2023 Artists for Water fundraiser taking place in Toronto on May 18, 2023. Each board will be produced as an edition of five per artist. The works will be previewed at General Hardware Contemporary Gallery from May 13 - May 17, 2023.

The proceeds from these surfboards go towards Swim Drink Fish community-based Water Monitoring Hubs, where recreational water quality samples are collected by community scientists and shared on Swim Guide, a free water quality information app, to provide the public with the information they need to best access clean water.

Swim Drink Fish works at the confluence of water, people, and storytelling, using community science, technology, and communications to connect people to water. For more information, visit www.swimdrinkfish.ca.

Artists for Water is a Canadian art auction that raises funds in support of Swim Drink Fish. Over the past 10 years, Canadian artists have donated over 250 works of art to our auctions, raising over 3.5 million dollars. For more information, visit www.swimdrinkfish.ca/artists-for-water.

Beau Lake x Artists for Water

Christi Belcourt (apihtâwikosisâniskwêw / mânitow sâkahikanihk) is a visual artist, designer, community organizer, environmentalist, social justice advocate, and avid land-based based arts and language learner. Her paintings can be found within many public and permanent collections across North America.

Douglas Coupland is a novelist, visual artist and designer, who became the voice of a generation with his novel, Generation X and who has expanded his globally respected perspectives on life, art and technology through his voice and visual works ever since.

Through his visual use of language, Graham Gillmore shows us that communication can both connect and distance at the same time. His text often examines conflicting sources of knowledge: science and religion, as well as personal and universal human experiences.

Fleming exhibits his paintings worldwide with solo exhibitions in Singapore, Canada and New York. He has lectured at universities in Canada, the US and Southeast Asia.
