Discover cool seaside art inspired by kids, and created by kids!
Rowing, paddling, biking or walking along Vancouver’s beautiful waterfront, ephemeral ‘KIDSART’ is sure to catch the eyes of the observant!
…Children at play, in, near, or on the ocean, children making art out of sea-things, building canals and sandcastles, playing imaginative ‘one-off’ sea-inspired games, or just being kids, while having a jolly good time feeling water and sand running between their toes. Beyond these home-made experiences, frequent visits to the Vancouver Maritime Museum, are sure to delight, enrich and educate the lives of children (all ages)!
Ships, sea creatures, pirate treasures, fun workshops with Museum educators, more ships and shipwrecks, children’s’ choirs singing, sea shanties, stories and videos, Arctic exploration stories with visiting presenters, and much more than you can imagine!

Much of my own artwork features children (mine and others) by-the-sea!

Take a bigger ferry (seabus) across Burrard Inlet to visit beautiful Waterfront park North Vancouver. Climb up sculptures (mountain sized with mountain backdrops) that warn you ‘don’t climb’ … but you DO CLIMB if you’re ten or so!

‘Spring in BC CoastSwirls’ creates an impression of March wind-swirls rushing through new branches and old, rushing Pacific sea foam, and blending colors of shore and sky!
‘Sea-to-sky rainbows’ are nature’s artwork in a child’s favorite colors! Where did Mr. mallard put his dinner? ow many goslings are tucked under Mother goose’s wings? (over 6)
From the art of lost sandy coats, to rainbow wishes, seaside-sculpture climbers and evening kayakers, or seashell searcher… children will find a way to make it a wonderful one-of-a-kind creation for all to share.
Along the seawall, all kinds of ‘wild’ and ‘tame’ seaside critters. These two were chatting and gesturing about some important waterfront events.
