About
The Pumpkinotron 340 is a community art project by Natali Leduc, one of the Artists in Residence in Maple Ridge, BC. The goal is to create a giant display of carved and illuminated pumpkins, as part of “Celebrate the Night”, that will be celebrated differently this year..
At the beginning of the summer, Natali invited members of the community of all ages to grow pumpkins in their yard by giving them seeds. This fall, residents are invited to carve the pumpkins with power tools to be part of this giant display.
It is free but you do need to register by writing to [email protected] before October 10 as space is limited. This project will be done remotely and instructions will be given via video.
The completed installation will be available for viewing on the lawn of the Residence at 23740 Fern Crescent for up to one week starting October 25.
You can follow this project and others on Facebook at facebook.com/FernCrescent. Contact Natali Leduc at [email protected] if you have further questions.
