Granville Island Art Smash
We curated an outdoor gallery of 9 murals and produced a fun engaging event for Granville Island's newest space, The Chain and Forge.
Client: Granville Island
Year: 2019
Art Smash was a celebration of visual art in public spaces in one of Vancouver's most iconic destinations, Granville Island.
For this project we curated and produced 9 murals and a street party, transforming The Chain and Forge parking lot into a vibrant outdoor art gallery and outdoor party venue. Located in the centre of Granville Island, these large-scale artworks are free and accessible for everyone to view and enjoy. Our full day street party event was a great success with a continuous stream of music by local DJs, local craft breweries, food trucks, performances, and interactive fun for all-ages.
“We think it will give a lot of opportunity for people to come down and celebrate the art and celebrate a new space on Granville Island that they can just enjoy and relax.”
