Art Vancouver has been dedicated to making Vancouver an internationally-renowned arts destination. Each year we hold a multi-day art fair that connects over 100 Canadian and international artists and galleries with more than 10,000 art-lovers, collectors, and buyers from across Canada, and around the globe. At this year’s event (April 2020), local B.C. and Canadian artists will come from the Metro Vancouver region, Vancouver Island, the interior of B.C., Alberta, and Ontario. 

The imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival is the global hub for Indigenous-made media arts. Each year, imagineNATIVE presents a selection of film, video, audio, digital media, and exhibitions each created by Indigenous artists from Canada and around the world, in addition to a series of panels and workshops. The Festival is the largest event of its kind in the world and is a leader in supporting and developing Indigenous media arts and in building relationships between communities.
