Grouse Gallery Art Contest

design new gondola artwork for a chance to win

Welcome to the Grouse Gallery Art Contest

In celebration of the launch of our state-of-the-art Gondola, we invite artists to create a piece of art inspired by their Memories of a Lifetime at Grouse Mountain. Selected artworks will be showcased by wrapping them around a gondola cabin. Winners will also receive a $2000 cash prize and an exclusive invitation to our Gondola Launch Party. We eagerly anticipate your creative interpretations of Grouse Mountain.

Carson Ting

To launch the contest, Grouse Mountain has teamed up with locally based visual artist and illustrator Carson Ting, who will create his own artwork to be part of the Grouse Gallery, before joining the judging panel to help choose the winners.

Carson Ting owns and runs his own art and design studio called Chairman Ting based in Vancouver. The studio works on everything creative from murals to animations. Carson started his career in Toronto after graduating from the Ontario College of Art & Design. With initial aspirations of becoming a cartoonist, he quickly fell in love with the conceptual creativity of advertising after he saw art having a real purpose in the commercial world. Across his successful career, he has worked with a large variety of brands including Nike, Microsoft, Starbucks, adidas Originals, Porsche, The Cartoon Network, NBA, Snoop Dogg’s 19 Crimes, and more. He describes his artistic style as whimsical and lighthearted.
