Burrardview Park Fieldhouse Residency (2015 – 2018)
Owen was artist-in-residence at Burrardview Park Fieldhouse through the City of Vancouver’s Parks Board Fieldhouse Activation Program for a period of 4 years, from 2015 – 2018. The program places artist and arts collectives in community spaces, providing studio space in exchange for 300 hours of community oriented artistic labour.
During her time at Burrardview she developed numerous projects in and with the residents of the neighbourhood directly surrounding her studio, and in neighbourhood spaces across Vancouver.
Projects developed during this residency include Corner Store (2018), ODD JOBS (2016 – 2018), WNDW Gallery (2015 – 2017), The Collaborative Embroidery Society (2015 – 2017), and in collaboration with the Burrardview Community Association, The Burrardview Art Salon (2018) and The Evelyn Exhibition (2018)
