Capture Creative Response

One of the things that struck me the most about the Capture Festival was the scale of the event and number of affiliated artists and institutions. This number has grown considerably since the very first Capture Festival in 2013 and continues to increase from year to year. On top of this, it was amazing to see how many galleries and public installations that I see on a regular basis were actually affiliated with the festival, which made the whole experience much more relatable and relevant. To demonstrate this, we decided to plot the festival’s growth on two separate maps of Vancouver. We marked out the various locations with different coloured pins for galleries, public installations, and the Capture office. The physical space taken up by the pins really helps to emphasize and illustrate the growth of the festival. This also shows the growth of the community in the Vancouver area, as more and more individuals and galleries showcase works for the festival.
