The Vancouver Draw Down is excited to have 2 amazing photographers help up with capturing this year's event. 


Not only will they be taking pictures and video but they will also be mentoring some community members to help them learn to document and capture culture! If you see them and our team while you are out drawing make sure to smile for the camera : ) 

Here is a bit about them:


JOSH HITE:
Josh Hite’s artwork situates itself in a space between photography and video, and is concerned with the organization of and movement through urban space.   His work has investigated confrontations between structures and the pace of movers, and is inspired by the potential for the creation of subjective pathways.  His work has been shown at artist-run centers nationally and internationally and he contributes to conferences and publications focused on architecture and public space.  He has a BA in Philosophy, an MFA in Visual Art and teaches photography and video at Emily Carr University of Art and Design, University of British Columbia, and Arts Umbrella in Vancouver.
