ArtStarts and professional photographer and media artist Anne Marie Slater bring the history of the Kingsway corridor alive for 120 grade 3 to 7 students at two Kingsway area schools, Sir Guy Carleton and Charles Dickens Elementary. Through urban interpretive walks, archival research, fieldwork and photo sessions, students work with the artist to thoughtfully connect their personal experiences to the rich and important history of the Kingsway corridor. The residency project culminates in a photo-installation exhibition at the ArtStarts gallery in downtown Vancouver, featuring the artwork created by the students in collaboration with the artist.

With support from the City of Vancouver’s 125th Anniversary Grants Program and the participation of the Government of Canada.
