The Vancouver Park Board’s Urban Park Activation Team, in partnership with the Carnegie Community Center, is excited to announce the start of Art in the Park 2026 in Andy Livingstone Park on Thursday July 9th from 2pm to 6pm. The opening celebration will feature a Welcoming by Musqueam Elder Mary Point, a performance by the Carnegie’s lexwst'í:lem Drum Group, as well as art making and a chance to connect with the Elders, the artists, staff and community.

This project once again brings together the Carnegie’s Elders in Residence, Elder Marr Dorvault and Elder Leslie Nelson with new artists in residence for 2026, Lisa Marr and Paulo Davanzo, in the creation of a community engaged art project in Andy Livingstone Park, to bridge communities together to make art and share stories. Art in the Park is a welcoming space for all members of the community to connect and come to know one another through collaborative art making and sharing Indigenous cultural practice. It creates a space where creative connection works to reduce neighbourhood tensions to build communities of care.

Hope to see you in the park this summer!
