EXPERIMENTS IN OPTICAL NARRATIVES

EON Festival is a public art festival presenting video, light, and motion-based works on screens across Vancouver.

Coming to Downtown and East Vancouver May 2026

We bring experimental digital art out of traditional venues and into everyday public life, inviting people to encounter creativity where they already are.

WHY EON, WHY NOW?

Cities are full of screens, yet few are used for art.

At the same time:

  • Digital artists lack platforms to reach local public audiences

  • Public space is dominated by commercial content

  • Communities want meaningful cultural experiences that don't require tickets

EON Festival ignites public screens with artist-led work; creating moments of wonder, pause, and connection that are free, accessible, and civic in scale.

WHO WE ARE

EON Festival is organized by a group of artists, curators, and producers with long-standing ties to the city’s arts ecosystem.

VIVO Media Arts / Chroma Link Collective / Ashlee Conery / Wil Aballe / Slow Studies Creative / Natalia Lebedinskaia / Ben Z Cooper / Chapel Sound

Together, we bridge emerging creative practices and legacy institutions, bringing care, experience, and credibility to a new public festival format.
