Tuff City Artist Underground (TCAU)
Tuff City Art Underground is a group of local and Vancouver Island youth who come together periodically to collaborate on art, music, and performance. TCAU is dedicated to advancing the arts in local culture by creating art that is technically advanced, intellectually and aesthetically stimulating, and appropriate and accessible to children and youth.
Vanya Law is the sole proprietor of Darling Art and Design. Since 2010, Vanya has been creating poignant street art in Tofino, Ucluelet, and Victoria, BC. He has also been the major artistic designer for several local productions through PRAS, CBT, and the Municipality of Tofino.
Ellie Law is currently in Victoria, BC studying General Arts at Camosun College. She was the manager of folk hip-hop fusion band Olin Oskinffaay and Peutis Profound for 4 years, overseeing the underground release of annual singles – “Bathroom Sessions”, “Soft Sounds”, “Good in the Hood”, and “Moonlight Sesh”. In early 2019, the band went bankrupt due to poor management; Ellie now writes her own songs.
