Condo Developer Accused of Rewarding Sexual Harassment Donates $2 Million for Young Artists

Condo developer and philanthropist Michael Audain, who has ducked criticism for donating to the SFU Centre for the Contemporary Arts, having a Gallery at the Centre named after him, and presenting a former Department Head at the Centre with a cash Lifetime Achievement Award while the Centre evades addressing it's alleged history of operating a sexual harassment ring, has once again donated to the arts.

Audain has slapped down $2 million for The Audain Emerging Artists Aquisition Fund at the Vancouver Art Gallery. The Fund will allow the Art Gallery to purchase art works from British Columbia artists, 35 years old and under, considered promising.
