Granville Island, Vancouver: Hunt for the Lost LP
(0 ratings)
Granville Island, a bustling community of indie shops and studios, is often imitated. To truly get the place, though, you need to see the unique way its past as "Industrial Island" still mingles with its new life as an arts hub.
This quest illuminates that legacy, documenting the island's strange transformation:
How did a lead paint factory become kids' favorite destination?
How did the largest work ever made by twin brother muralists end up in a concrete factory?
The island has the answers.
