À propos

Slow down and take a walking tour of outdoor art on the UBC campus. Works in the Outdoor Art Collection are situated across the Vancouver campus and together, give voice to stories about the history of campus, and are part of an ever-evolving narrative about art, space and place.

For a self-guided tour of the Outdoor Art Collection, download a copy of our Outdoor Art guide and qeqən: Musqueam House Posts book. Suggested routes take about 20 minutes to walk, while a full tour of all the artworks takes about 3 hours.

Guided tours can be booked for groups of ten people or more. Tours are conversational, participation-driven and can be adapted for a range of ages and groups. Please see below for information, dates and times.

All of the artworks in the Outdoor Art Collection are situated on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓-speaking xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people; the gallery encourages viewers to reflect on this relationship.

Organisateur

UBC Arts & Culture District

The UBC Arts & Culture District invites you to immerse yourself in live music, theatre, opera, film, contemporary and fine art, a world-renowned Museum of Anthropology, and more.

We are the producer of the annual ARTIVISM festival. Welcome to ARTIVISM 2023, presented by UBC Arts & Culture. This year's theme is "Madness of the Masses" where radical creativity merges with collective liberation. Brace yourself for immersive experiences where art and culture becomes a catalyst for challenging the confines of a capitalist system. This Artivism invites you to the spaces of storytelling, where we seek to challenge class systems, highlight mental and emotional effects of oppression, and ultimately invite imagination to envision a culture of community and collective care through creativity.

The UBC Arts and Culture District educates and showcases student creatives and scholars, presents world-renowned performers, and is home to innovative public programs and international exhibitions. We also offer annual Artivism Festival and International Women’s Day events.

We hold the creative and performing arts as core to deep disciplinary knowledge and applied research, and as the key to a fulfilled and connected life.
