Coastal Jazz Foundation for the Performing Arts in conjunction with Creative Cultural Collaborations Society presents the BIG PRINT JAZZ PROJECT on Granville Island July 1, 2, 3 and 4 th , 2016
Vancouver’s first Big Print Project was a visually striking event designed to highlight printmaking as a dramatic public event. Drawing attention to the potential of large-scale wood-relief prints, it brought together a group of well-known artists in creating and printing a suite of woodcuts.
The Radius mural represents three distinct communities that converge in the Downtown Eastside: Aboriginal, Chinese and Japanese. The mural was conceived to reflect themes of origin and place, weaving together material gathered from outreach workshops into the design. The team of artists and mentored youth come from each of these communities. Located at the Firehall Arts Centre.
