How do you make public art fun and interactive for everyone?

We're making Art for Everyone at the North Vancouver Shipyards! Studio Meanwhile is bringing interactive fun to the shipyards with the help of Vancouver-based artist Pablo Zamudio in our latest City Pong table tennis table. Created in collaboration with the Lower Lonsdale Business Improvement District, this interactive piece of public furniture is meant to spark play, connection, and creativity in the heart of the Shipyards—adding a splash of colour and a fun new way for people to enjoy the space together.

Not your papa's ping pong table.
It's actually Pablo's.

The OPPORTUNITY

Prince Rupert set out to redefine the tourism experience of the city by creating an urban magnet for tourism. Studio Meanwhile worked with Prince Rupert and stakeholders to design and build a container market to support the growth of small business owners in Prince Rupert. This market is designed to serve as a placemaking attraction, targeting visitors who arrive on Cow Bay Road via cruise ships.

The APPROACH

Studio Meanwhile worked with Prince Rupert Port Authority to plan, design and build bespoke vendor kiosks along Cow Bay Road.

The Outcomes

This is Art for Everyone.
