Art! Vancouver 2016

Art! Vancouver, the city's largest fine arts fair, returns for its sophomore year to the Vancouver Convention Centre.

After last year's highly successful inaugural event, Art! Vancouver once again connects the international art community beneath the Sails, building on last year's success of 130 exhibitors and 9,000 attendees. This year, organizer Lisa Wolfin expects to attract more than ten thousand attendees. This event is the place to be for west coast art aficionados with over one hundred exhibiting artists showcasing all manner of styles and media. For collectors, it provides the opportunity to view the works of local up-and-coming and established artists, and to be among the first to get it on hot new art. Artists will have the chance to sell their work and meet potential curators and gallerists.


Kirsten Nash   An exciting event will make its return this year, the signature Face of Art Runway, opening night Thursday, May 26, where artists will represent both their art and personalities on the catwalk!

Most importantly, Art! Vancouver will be the event to see and be seen in next weekend, so expect to mingle over some fine art with plenty of bars on hand.
