HERE IS NOW: 3rd Installment in a series of Group Exhibitions

HERE IS NOW is a series of independent exhibitions that investigate the different use of time and the unconventional creative space. The exhibition has a focus on contemporary art from Vancouver providing a platform for both emerging and mid career artists. The intention of Here Is Now is to further explore contemporary art within Vancouver’s unclaimed spaces, and to find alternative exhibition models that can exist during times of scarcity of space and limited cultural funding . We view the exhibits themselves as an overall installation, working with each unique space to create programming that varies in participation, duration and theme.

This exhibition is one night only, and will feature Vancouver and international exhibiting artists.
