Heather Lamoureux's Art and Activism

SCA BFA dance alumni Heather Lamoureux is the producer and founder of the annual Vines Art Festival, which just finished it's fourth year with free events in parks and public spaces around Vancouver and a long, diverse list of participants, including several former and current SCA students. Informed by environmental responsibility, social justice, public accessibility, and community-building, the festival describes itself as "a free public event that creates platforms for local artists and performers to create with and on the land, steering their creative impulses toward work that focuses on the environment – whether a deep love of nature, sustainability, or climate justice."
