Interactive Art Project Using Recycling

From the producers of the Eastside Culture Crawl Festival comes a new and innovative art-making event, the Eastside Arts Festival. The Eastside Arts Festival is a new community initiative of the Eastside Arts Society bringing together local artists and the community to explore, learn and create art together through a series of affordable and accessible art workshops and a public-participation art installation.

Eastside Arts Festival 2025

The 5th annual Eastside Arts Festival celebrates the diversity of performing and visual arts in Vancouver’s Eastside. This innovative festival offers art workshops, live music performances, a beer garden, public art activations, an art shop and more!

Help bring a one-of-a-kind public artwork to life using recycled materials, community collaboration, and creative transformation.This interactive art project begins with a spontaneous, collective painting made from vibrant colors and reused materials. Once complete, the artwork will be entirely covered in white plaster, concealing the creation beneath.Then, the public is invited to touch the surface. As hands graze the piece, the plaster will crack and fall away, slowly uncovering the hidden layers underneath and transforming the artwork in real time.This project flips traditional art-viewing on its head: you’re not just allowed to touch, you’re encouraged to.Free. Family-friendly. All are welcome to drop in between 2 and 5 PM - No ticket required! Come co-create, reveal, and reimagine the possibilities of recycled art. 🎨 Led by artist <a href="https://www.clotildeorozco.com/about" title="https://www.clotildeorozco.com/about" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Clotilde Orozco</a> Clotilde Orozco is an architect, designer, and multidisciplinary artist from Madrid, now based in Vancouver. Her natural curiosity and experimental approach take shape across many forms—painting, design, installation, sculpture, ceramics, and photography.
