The ‘Blue Cabin’ is the name given to the squatter cabin that was a former residence to Vancouver artists Al Neil and Carole Itter. Built circa 1927 in Coal Harbour, the cabin was moved to the western boundary of Cates Park in 1932 and remained there until 2015, when it was removed from the site due to redevelopment of the adjacent property. The cabin is believed to be the last remaining squatter cabin along the Burrard Inlet foreshore.

Vancouver artist and filmmaker Carole Itter began spending time at the cabin in the late 1970s. Her partner, musician, artist and writer, the late Al Neil, had inhabited the cabin from 1966, when he rented it from McKenzie Barge & Derrick Co. For Carole, the cabin became a place of inspiration and art production.

Itter will present an informal talk about her artwork and writings during her 35-year residency at the Blue Cabin. She will be joined by multimedia artist and editor Krista Lomax, who will present her short film entitled 'the blue cabin'.
