CityScape Community Art Space is an outstanding contemporary art space owned by the City of North Vancouver and programmed and managed by the North Vancouver Community Arts Council.
This very unique public exhibition space was created in 2001 by the creative vision of the North Vancouver Community Arts Council and the Mayor, Council and City staff of the day. It operates under the very thoughtful mission statement of: “to celebrate and promote art and artists through quality experiences in a unique and inviting gallery space, and to create an inclusive environment which enriches and encourages interaction in the community.“
All exhibitions are group based, themed and must have an interactive component to engage the broader community. Ideas for exhibitions come from the community and beyond and are adjudicated by a submissions committee.
This creative approach continually results in truly remarkable and diverse art exhibitions.
Check out our CALLS FOR ARTISTS for exhibition opportunities and submission guidelines.

Printmaking:
a contemporary vision of a classical tradition
Feb 3 – Mar 3, 2012
Opening reception: Thursday, Feb 2, 7-9pm
A diverse printmaking exhibition by members of the Art Institute of Capilano University that explores a microcosm of dynamic changes occurring in international print culture, especially with regard to the digital revolution.
The exhibition includes a variety of printmaking processes- everything from the classical etching, relief and silkscreen to the more modern photo and digital work, often in combination with each other. Through these processes, the artists explore the surfaces and possibilities of scale, embossments, enamels, rare Japanese Gampi papers and metallic surfaces.
The exhibition will showcase diverse images and concepts- every thing from environmental issues, technology and the human condition to the creative act, music and ecology.
Artists: Hans-Christian Behm, Katie Dey, Wayne Eastcott, Roger Fidler, Peter Frey, Orianne Johnson, Bonnie Jordan, Christel Kleinewillinghoefer, Marja-Leena Rathje, Linda Robertson, Joan Smith, Michiko Suzuki, Francis Tremblay
