Join us at dusk for an insider experience of SWELL and stories of creativity, restoration, and the wonders of oysters!

Kicking off with an immersive walk with Traditional Custodian Uncle Glenn Barry and SWELL artists among the sculptures, we then return to the Smalls Gallery at VIKA for creative and solutions-focused conversations with arts, science and cultural storytellers.

We explore everyday relationships, playing in our water city, and how oysters, people and places are fostering the courage, cooperation and creativity we need in a climate changing world.

"Friends are like seashells we collect along the way."

This event is for everyone in a love-affair with our waterways, ocean and bay. Register today - places limited!
