Mudflats: 2022 Artist in Communities Residency at False Creek Community Centre
Mudflats is an ongoing community art project out of the False Creek Community Centre in conjunction with the Vancouver Park Board’s Artists in Communities program. Drawing its name from the ecosystem that predated settler development in False Creek, the project engages residents and visitors with the neighbourhood’s built and natural history as a means of collaborative creation. Activities include drawing, stencilling and printmaking workshops, as well as a large scale mono-printing on Labyrinth Pier. The resulting imagery will be installed as a legacy work in the atrium of the False Creek Community Centre.
More information on the project can be found at: https://falsecreekmudflats.wordpress.com/
