Beloved Vancouver-based artist and activist Joe Average passed away at the age of 67.
Known for his vividly colourful art pieces depicting people, animals and flowers, Average was also a champion of LGBTQ2+ rights. Born Brock David Tebbutt on Oct. 10, 1957 in Victoria, B.C., Average didn’t consider an artistic career path until his 30s.
After being diagnosed with HIV at the age of 27 and watching his health and financial situation decline over the next few years, Average resolved to find a reason to push forward. Art became that reason.
Over the next three and a half decades, Average partnered with dozens of charitable organizations, donating his art and time.
