Squamish: Artists converge to spread creativity
Five artists sharing a new downtown loft studio are attempting to capture the hearts and minds of residents with a variety of programs, initiatives and endeavours.
Local artist Stan Matwychuk is taking the lead in organizing initiatives, which would include life drawing classes, art history lessons, summer markets, mural festivals and outdoor film screenings.
“It’s a loosely based organization of artists who get together and work towards creative ends. Anything arts based that’s a bit off-kilter,” said Matwychuk. “We’re trying to program the space and get things happening.”
Matwychuk said he’s confident of his initiatives because Squamish is an arts community at heart.
“Because it’s very outdoor active and people are very creative and live outgoing lifestyles, art is just a natural extension of that so I think that Squamish is definitely growing in that avenue.”
The centre opened just over a month ago in an upstairs loft on the corner of Vancouver Street and Second Avenue and is adorned with different types of artwork.
