Think Mount Pleasant - Think Dude Chilling!
'The Dude’ of Guelph Park is a wooden cedar sculpture carved by BC artist Michael Dennis in 1991. It inspired a ‘guerilla art’ 'Dude Chilling Park‘ sign in 2012.
The sculpture is rotting & with your help, it will return cast permanently in bronze.

The Group's Purpose
The ‘the Dude’ of Guelph Park is a legacy of the 1991 Brewery Creek Art Exposition. This wooden cedar sculpture carved by BC artist Michael Dennis inspired a ‘guerilla art’ secondary “Dude Chilling Park‘ sign in 2012.
Responding to the deterioration of the sculpture, the Vancouver Park Board has worked with the artist to remove it and prepare it for casting in permanent bronze.
The Mount Pleasant Community Centre Association (MPCCA), a registered charity and supported the placement of the original sculpture and has agreed to handle the necessary fundraising campaign to #SavetheDude.
So let’s #SavetheDude.
How to Help
All donations will help #SavetheDude and return 'Dude Chilling' to Guelph Park.
Fortunately, your $ donation will be matched! The Christopher Foundation has agreed to match donations equally $ 1 for $ 1 (to a maximum of $ 30,000 ) upon the successful completion of the necessary funds.
As some donations will be made directly to the Mount Pleasant Community Centre Association -- a combined #SavetheDude 'Dude Chilling' Campaign progress thermometer will be updated weekly at www.mountpleasantcc.ca which will include the notional matched funds from the Christopher Foundation.
