Burn­aby Art Gallery presents a season-long gar­den project by Van­cou­ver artist, Holly Schmidt, enti­tled The Mov­able Feast. Con­struct­ing a series of planters com­plete with seat­ing areas and work­ta­bles Schmidt will develop a small gar­den space near Ceper­ley House that will host work­shops, edi­ble events, and youth pro­grams. Move­able Feast is respond­ing to the cur­rent global mobil­ity of food in the con­text of rapidly dwin­dling food vari­eties. Issues sur­round­ing urban farm­ing, food pro­duc­tion and con­sump­tion will be explored through a series of pub­lic events and work­shops that will take place within the gar­den space.
