šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énḵ Square (North of the Vancouver Art Gallery) is situated right in the heart of Downtown Vancouver. A place that witnesses gatherings year round from people of all backgrounds, experiences, and ideas, this is the perfect place for our We are a Family lanterns. Showcasing artists from the diverse communities of Vancouver, The Lantern City invites everyone to imagine a future where we are Born to be Free.
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.
