Sound Artist in Residence
As a hub for music and community-building, our Library is known for its state-of-the-art Recording Studio, popular Friday Night Concert series, music lectures, and robust music programming.
We were thrilled to present our first Sound Artist Residency! This inaugural program fostered the growth of the Library’s Recording Studio community, built knowledge, and inspired creativity.
This residency is possible thanks to a generous bequest in support of music at the Library from the estate of Robert Leslie Welsh, through the West Vancouver Memorial Library Foundation.
Meet our Sound Artist in Residence, Sam Lynch

Sam’s debut LP, Little Disappearance, released via Winnipeg label Birthday Cake Records, propelled her onto some of the country’s biggest venues and festival stages, appearing in headlining roles and in support of artists such as Men I Trust, Andy Shauf, and Faye Webster. Sam’s songwriting contributions have earned her numerous awards and accolades, including the 2022 Western Canadian Music award for “Songwriter of the Year”.
