Field Guides Exhibition Closer Conversations @ Roundhouse

Vancouver Park Board in Residency in partnership with the Roundhouse
Exhibition: Fri Sep 27 – Sun Oct 6
Field Guides Exhibition

The Field Guides Exhibition showcases the Vancouver Park Board’s Fieldhouse Activation Project.

These activations repurpose fieldhouses in parks as creative hubs for arts, food security and environmental stewardship.

Cultural facilitators and artists affiliated with these fieldhouses have become familiar faces in many neighborhoods. They engage the public in their studios: drawing comics, making movies, building musical instruments, singing opera, growing food and medicine, dancing with birds, stewarding urban land, telling stories of belonging, and much more.

Many of these projects have been active for six years or more, with some of them ending their fieldhouse tenure at the close of 2024. This exhibition celebrates the artists and facilitators who will be moving on, and features work from ongoing fieldhouse residency projects that are immersed in community.

Presented by Vancouver Park Board: Arts, Reconciliation, and Culture (ARC) in partnership with the Roundhouse Association, the Field Guides Exhibition is hosted on the unceded, ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
