George Harwood Smith
George Harwood Smith is the Curator at East Quay, an award-winning arts center in Somerset, UK. Before this, he curated exhibitions at North Van Arts in North Vancouver, where he fell in love with the many swimming spots on Vancouver’s North Shore. When not working, George regularly takes personal pilgrimages to swim spots in Canada, Europe, and his native UK, finding the best places to immerse himself in the water. A keen photographer, he feels at home in rivers, lakes, or the ocean and believes swimming is one of the best ways to connect with nature. George currently divides his time between Somerset and London, UK, but retains close ties with British Columbia, his home away from home.
