The Blue Cabin

The Blue Cabin The Blue Cabin Floating Artist Residency responds to a need for alternate modes of living and working

Situated in the unceded lands and waters of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, the Blue Cabin's inaugural program of artist residencies, open houses, talks and workshops began in Fall 2019. The Blue Cabin sat between the low and high tide lines at Cates Park in North Vancouver since 1932 and has resisted ownership for nearly 100 years. It w

as home to maritime labourers and families – and since the late ‘60s was a place of creative respite and subsistence for Vancouver artists Al Neil and Carole Itter. Slated for demolition in 2014, the Cabin was saved by a consortium of arts organizations who have transformed it into a unique, floating artist residency that offers artists and the public a unique, shifting view of the region and the ideas and histories that inform it.
