To capitalize on the hoarding wall separating a construction site from the sidewalk, Hangar 18 created a neighbourhood art installation showcasing children’s art from Burnaby Neighbourhood House (BNH). With placement opposite a busy SkyTrain station, sightlines from the elevated transit platform, main entrance and exit to the station were determined to optimize interaction with commuters. The team also worked with lighting experts who provided LED technology and computer programming to make the installation come alive with a coin-operated light show, with proceeds going to BNH. When the hoarding comes down, the artwork will be auctioned off at a charity event with the proceeds going directly to BNH.
Judge's Pick
Adding an interactive, human-centric, creative element to an otherwise common community eyesore is brilliant. The design strongly communicates the key message and evokes emotion from those who interact with the installation. The result is beautiful, imaginative creative that captivates and engages the community.
