New Urban Video Screen in Vancouver

Expand

Vancouver's grunt gallery is programming content on a new, non-commercial urban media screen in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood for the next five years.

The screen is being built on the second floor of the RIZE building on the western side of Kingsway Avenue near Broadway. 

It will feature a range of work, including videos, photography and digital art that represent the Mount Pleasant community. 

The gallery is also working to allow artists to directly engage viewers through interactive components with the support of the Creative BC Interactive Fund. 

Glenn Alteen, grunt gallery’s program director, says the screen, expected to launch in July, will "act as a community focal point." 

The gallery is offering free digital storytelling workshops this spring for area residents who want to make short videos. For information, go to grunt.ca.
