The Pavilion Celebrates 10 Years!
The Pavilion is a long-term, interdisciplinary
project, founded by Holly
Ward in 2019 for her yearlong Artist-In Residence project at Langara College,
Vancouver. This project performed as a creative catalyst for artistic collaboration,
experimentation and pedagogy.
In 2011, on the
invitation from Jane Irwin and Ross Hill, the Pavilion was moved
to its current location in Heffley Creek
BC, otherwise known as Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc, the traditional, unceded territory of the
Secwépemc peoples.
Since then, artist Kevin Schmidt has joined the
Pavilion, and extensive efforts have been made to transform this
temporary, urban artist project into a long-term, land-based artist facility.
2021 marks the 10th anniversary of this
independent, land-based iteration of
the Pavilion!!
Ward and Schmidt are happy
to announce that they have finally reached their goal of completing major
infrastructural work on this facility, and thanks to the continued support of
Irwin and Hill, as well as countless friends and colleagues over the years who
have pitched in their talents, labour, and emotional support for this endeavour… you
know who you are,
and we will love you forever!
