First Friday in The New Arts District

hey! sharing is caring :)

First Friday Artwalk is always a great time to be in Downtown Vancouver and now that the weather is getting warmer, there is even more to enjoy. This month however the Artwalk (May 2nd) is extra special. In April the city council officially designated the Vancouver Arts District, but this Friday the Vancouver Downtown Association gets the chance to welcome this new addition. Our city is full of unique, creative people and now they have a designated district to showcase arts of all disciplines. Of course all of downtown is invited to participate in Artwalk, so if art is not your thing, there are many other things to see, eat, drink and experience. Here are just a few of the “must see” stops on the VDA’s Artwalk Hot Sheet: (CLICK HERE  for Full Details)
