We’ll have a special feature presentation from OceanGybe talking about their ocean research and travels around the world.
As part of the Debridement project, Community Arts Vancouver and Vancouver Maritime Museum are also proud to unveil two floating installations by local artists Fae Logie and Tiki Mulvihil, and Ron Simmer and Kevin Curry in Heritage Harbour. We will be hosting an artist talk at 4pm and followed by a guided visit of the installations.
