The Peridot project presents the opportunity to realize a distinct public artwork in the Lower Lonsdale neighbourhood which will contribute to reinforcing a strong sense of place for the area. This opportunity is focused on the west side façade fronting the lane which connects E 2nd Street and the Lane at the south edge of the site. The street frontage along E 2nd Street will be activated by retail spaces which will invite interest along the block and increase traffic both along the street and in the lane-way. The public art is envisioned as a site specific two or three dimensional work integrated or attached to the facade of the building. This site offers the opportunity for artists to consider a range potential media. 

North Vancouver Public Art Program 
With more than 200 pieces in the collection, North Vancouver’s public art encompasses all types of media. From eye catching sculptures and mosaics to temporary installations and digital works, public art is a standout feature in community hubs, along trails, in parks,  featured in public facilities and in commercial developments such as this one.  Artwork selected for this public art project will become part of the community collection intended to celebrate the cultural spirit and identity of our area.  

We gratefully acknowledge that the City of North Vancouver is located on the traditional and unceded homelands of the Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh people.
