Residency: May 19 – June 29, 2025

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.

During her stay, Itter will be refitting the cabin with many of the original furnishings, works of art, and other objects. She is using as her template the iconic photograph by Stan Douglas, which was taken of the cabin interior in 2013. During her six-week residency, two days will include making a short film on the beach near the cabin. The eight-person cast and crew are all mid-career women filmmakers and photographers.
