Returning to Granville Island, the Forever Young lantern series captures the joy of our inner child. With bright colours that re-inspire our imaginations, a sense of the magical and the whimsical, these artists show us the sky’s the limit! Granville Island is known as an arts hub, a place where wonder merges with reality, and endless possibilities are encouraged. Let these lanterns remind us to reach freely into the potential within each and every one of us.
Dragons are free-flying creatures, with a variety of colours, sizes, and shapes. How can they inspire us?
In the Year of the Dragon, The Lantern City encourages everyone to see beyond the familiar and imagine a community where we are all Born to be Free. With multiple lanterns spread across various iconic sites in the city where diversity shines, be sure to see these beautiful artworks by artists of different cultural backgrounds.
Swing by Granville Island, šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énḵ Square, Pendulum Gallery, and Jack Poole Plaza with your camera, and show us The Lantern City that best represents the freedom in your eyes.
