Summer at the Met

Here are a few activities and activations to enjoy from now until September:

Soak in the sunshine and enjoy a leisurely afternoon at the new outdoor South Plaza. Metropolis at Metrotown has transformed their outdoor space located at the South Plaza into a lively and inspiring summer oasis, featuring inspiring art installations, creative seating, and culinary experiences serving sweet and savoury treats and refreshing beverages.

Marvel at inspiring art installations and a floor mural located at the outdoor South Plaza, curated and produced by creative placemaking and public art firm, MASSIVart.

There’s “Hymn to the Big Wheel” by acclaimed British artist Liz West (pictured above), which is an immersive sculptural work exploring the illusion and physicality of colour and natural light in space. And, step onto the new hand-painted floor mural by Trevor Wheatley and Cosmo Dean, designed to offer a new sense of welcome to the outdoor space.

Stay and play at indoor “parks” and enjoy colourful displays throughout the shopping centre. Each park features vibrant decor, memorable photo opportunities, and creative seating perfect for afternoon picnics indoors.

Participate in the MET Passport Challenge to win great prizes! Pick up your MET Passport Challenge booklet at the Guest Services Centre and collect stamps at retailers throughout the shopping centre. Earn stamps for trying free samples, taking selfies throughout the mall, collecting items from participating businesses, or making purchases. Redeem stamps for mall merchandise and enter to win one of three $300 shopping sprees.

Give back to the Burnaby Hospital Foundation. Metropolis at Metrotown is proud to support the Burnaby Hospital Foundation this summer. The foundation provides reliable, patient-centred healthcare to 500,000+ families in East Vancouver and Burnaby. Metropolis at Metrotown will donate a percentage of proceeds raised through Summer At The Met events and activities to the foundation.

Celebrate Pride with a dance performance by the FakeKnot Arts Society on August 4th at the South Plaza at 1:00pm, 2:00pm, and 3:00pm. FakeKnot is grounded in street, commercial, and contemporary dance techniques that honor the queer, POC identity of Artistic Director, Ralph Escamillan. This performance, curated by MASSIVart, was created in response to Liz West’s “Hymn to the Big Wheel;” five performers will activate the sculpture and interact with its vivid kaleidoscope of colours through movements that knot together.

Attend engaging summer workshops where you can learn how to plant delicious, thriving herbs with The Heart Company, participate in arts and crafts, enjoy balloon artists, and live musical performances among other seasonal activities. Metropolis at Metrotown will be donating $5 for each workshop participant to the Burnaby Hospital Foundation.
