Best patios in North and West Vancouver

A new art installation by Kevin Schmidt entitled “Reckless” wraps the exterior of The Polygon Gallery, produced in collaboration with the Burrard Arts Foundation. Blinking, coloured lights are timed to a soundtrack composed by Schmidt, based on an album by former North Vancouver resident Bryan Adams.

The work is on view from 4-11pm daily.
