LightShed, Aluminum sculpture in Coal Harbour, Canada.

LightShed is a 2004 sculpture by Liz Magor on the seawall of Harbour Green Park in Coal Harbour, Vancouver. It takes the form of a small shed with windows and a door, raised on supports above the water. The work was privately commissioned by Grosvenor Canada Limited but went through the City of Vancouver's public art process, including a call for submissions, juried selection and a public hearing.

The sculpture was created in 2004 by artist Liz Magor and commissioned by Grosvenor Canada Limited through a selection process. Its design references Vancouver's maritime past and the boat repair industry that once operated along the waterfront.

LightShed was privately commissioned by Grosvenor Canada Limited, the developer behind Coal Harbour's redevelopment, yet it still went through the City of Vancouver's public art process: a call for submissions, juried selection and a public hearing. The piece therefore shows how a private developer's project entered the city's public art review.

The sculpture sits along the downtown seawall promenade next to Coal Harbour Community Centre and is accessible year-round. Visitors should note that the structure extends over water, which can mean stronger winds during rough weather conditions.

The piece stands on the Harbour Green Park seawall in Coal Harbour, so passers-by on the promenade meet it directly rather than in a gallery.
