Teeny Tiny Treehouse Village Recap
Last week our studio was taken over by budding architects during our Teeny Tiny Treehouse Village Summer Camp for ages 9-13. We joined forces with local architect Jyhling Lee of Figureground Studio to develop a tiny treehouse settlement for potential woodland creature clients that live in our local parks. Take a look at the results!

Triangles
Another special treat for our campers was a special visit from current exhibiting artists Heather Keung & Michael Connor who brought their interactive modular sculpture Triangles out of the gallery and into the park for a special play/build exercise. We had so much fun! Check out the time lapse video that they created of our building/play explorations.
Keung & Connor’s exhibition, Utility For Power has been extended until September 20th, 2014 in our Earl Selkirk Gallery and Window Vitrine- Be sure to come and spend some time with it
