“The Glass City” is a groundbreaking public art project that was launched in Vancouver in November 2025. Imagined by Chrissy Cheung, founding member of the Painter8 art group, the project presents the members’ paintings on the windows of a newly built office space. In these empty spaces, the group has mounted the projectors to continuously present the images from 6pm to 9pm every night.
Showing reproductions of the paintings by David Belcourt, Chrissy Cheung, Melanie Garcia, Lizzie McCorquodale, Justin Ogilvie, Rafael Sottolichio, et Jessica Yeandle-Hingnell, the project “The Glass City” is an innovative solution to present the works of artists from across Canada. Randomly displaying images in the illuminated windows of the Adanac Street building, the project was very well received by the community and will likely be repeated in a new form very soon.
