Artist Residency

Currently located on a floating platform at Heritage Harbour (map) in a collaboration with the Vancouver Maritime Museum, the residency gives the artist a unique perspective on the city of Vancouver from the water. The six to eight week time frame allows the artist time for solo production as well as opportunities for engagement within the community.
