Lions Bay Beach Park Project l Call for Artists

the project

Lions Bay Arts and the Village of Lions Bay are pleased to announce an artistic proposal to enhance the Lions Bay Beach Park Washroom building exterior.

The theme of this project is to capture the essence of our community’s sense of place within our breathtaking natural environment with whimsical imagery that evokes fun for all ages and respects our ecological impact.

the village

the project

Lions Bay is a small, scenic seaside village in British Columbia, nestled between Vancouver and Squamish on the Sea-to-Sky Highway, known for its stunning Howe Sound views, mountain access, and community feel. Named after the iconic Lion's Peaks (Twin Sisters), it is a waterfront residential community with beaches, parks, hiking trails (like the Howe Sound Crest Trail), and a K-3 elementary school. It attracts families and outdoor enthusiasts despite its small size.

We are very proud to be the stewards of this community project.
