The Shipyards is a world-class mixed-use development on the North Vancouver waterfront. The site is named after the Wallace Shipyards, which date back to the first world war.
You can find various sketch-worthy subjects like:
\- Activity in and around the Shipyard Commons
\- The Lonsdale Quay, with its busy market vibe
\- Floating dry dock or nearby boats
\- Skyline views of Downtown Vancouver
Meeting Point:
The meeting location is in front of the Polygon Gallery's overhang where a bunch of benches are.
We will gather at 1pm and spread out around North Vancouver's Shipyard area and come back to the same spot at 3:30pm to share our works. Public bathrooms are available nearby.
Things To Bring:
• Art supplies
• A collapsible stool or chair (optional, but preferred)
• Water
• Hat
How to Get There:
Public Transit: The best way is to get here by seabus. Take the Expo Line to Waterfront Station. Then take the Lonsdale Quay seabus to the terminal with the same name and then walk towards the Polygon Gallery overhang.
Driving: Pay parking is available at Lonsdale Quay Market, the Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier, and the ICBC parkade, located adjacent to Lonsdale Quay Market with entries off Rogers Avenue and Carrie Cates. Street parking is also available on Lonsdale Avenue, Esplanade, and side streets, though spots can be limited.
