Over the past several years, six artists have worked with the Park Board, Stanley Park Ecology Society and CACV to design, create and share environmental art created in situ around the park.

Six short videos (from 4-10 minutes each) will introduce you to the work, then we will dialogue about environmental and community art and walk with other participants to discover some of the “surprises and secrets” that have taken up residence in the park, noticing how nature and human interaction have affected the works.
