Richmond’s Public Art Program is offering a series of free, guided public art walking tours in the Capstan Village area of City Centre beginning in May.

Local arts professionals will lead monthly walking tours, visiting public artworks located in and around the new Capstan Canada Line Station, as well as around nearby residential developments.

Capstan Village is a growing waterfront community in the process of becoming a vibrant and active mixed-use Arts District as well as a pedestrian-friendly and public transit-oriented residential neighbourhood. Walking tour participants will discover and learn about artworks such as Lily Tree by Devon Knowles, 285 Apples by Gathie Falk, and the newly installed Breath Below by Howie Tsui.

All walks are free and require registration. The meeting location is at the Capstan Canada Line Station entrance. The three English language tours are Saturdays, May 10, July 12 and August 9 from 10:30am to noon, and the two Mandarin language tours are Saturdays, June 7 and September 13, 1:00 to 2:30pm.
