Instructor: Chris Carnovale

In light of recent shifts in tourism and programming possibilities due to COVID-19, the CNV is looking to introduce innovative forms of programming to engage the community in the Shipyards area and facilitate unique experiences, placemaking opportunities and connection to the new Museum of North Vancouver location on West Esplanade. Students will research, develop and propose creative forms of programming for existing outdoor spaces that address these goals [e.g. passive programming, installations, exhibits or other]. Students will include a detailed budget, potential funding opportunities and a brief, realistic project management plan. The NVMA is interested in supporting the CNV’s broader goals for the Shipyards area by incorporating local cultural/heritage/historical elements to a number of these proposed programming options.
