Format Hoarding Project
We curated and produced a 140ft hoarding mural at the new Format building development in East Vancouver (1503 Kingsway). On the client’s request, the mural reflected the local neighbourhood by employing a local East Van artist, Katie So, to design and paint the mural. So’s artwork incorporated fig leaves and trees found throughout East Van backyards.
Client: Cressey Development Group

Katie So is a visual artist from Vancouver, BC. Her work often draws from themes based in mental health and racial identity. With experience rooted in DIY comics, her work can be seen ranging from book covers to murals. For the past seven years, she has applied her illustrative style to contemporary tattooing. Katie is currently expanding her creative practice through painting and installation.
"Murals are a great way to bring positivity to a community. It’s important to be able to walk around your neighbourhood and enjoy the energy of the space."
