The Blue Cabin (Heritage Harbour)
Related residency: Carole Itter

Thanks to everyone who came out to Carole Itter’s open house and artist talk events last Wednesday! We had over 25 people attend the talk, where Carole presented a slideshow on the many assemblages that Al Neil and her worked on at the Blue Cabin when it was located on the North shore near Cates park.

The Blue Cabin, along with being their home, was also an indoor and outdoor studio for Itter and Neil. They were able to create several large scale pieces mostly from the found objects that washed up on shore.

Carole Itter is a Vancouver artist who works in performance, installations, and film. In 2023, she exhibited at SFU’s Downtown Gallery, and at the Belkin Gallery at UBC. Itter worked extensively with multi-disciplinary artist and musician Al Neil, the longtime resident of the original Blue Cabin, in Dollarton, B.C. In 2017, she received the Audain Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Visual Arts. She was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Emily Carr University in 2024. She is 85 and a half and still standing.
