Future Geographies: The Only Question that Matters

What does it feel like to stand at the edge of ecological collapse — and still choose to imagine something worth saving? That is the provocation at the heart of Future Geographies: Art in the Century of Climate Change, opening this month at the Vancouver Art Gallery. It is not a comfortable question. It is,...

Aphist Sid: The Shape of What Remains @ Gallery Merrick

It is not the most obvious pairing — a Bangkok-born conceptual painter and a gallery on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. Yet the representation of Aphist Sid by Gallery Merrick in Victoria, British Columbia feels less like an accident of geography than a curatorial statement of intent. Sid has been earning serious attention for...

Vadym Kholodenko x Fazioli x Rosewood Hotel Georgia

There are evenings in a city that arrive without announcement and leave an impression that simply does not fade. In the early days of May, Vancouver was host to something genuinely extraordinary — and it began not on a concert stage, but in the relaxed elegance of the Georgia Bar at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia....

Ballet Vancouver Announces Its Inaugural 2026/27 Season

Vancouver’s arts and culture landscape has a compelling new presence. Ballet Vancouver, led by Artistic Director Joshua Beamish, arrives as a non-profit charitable company with a singular mandate: to revitalize the city’s access to professional classical, neoclassical, and narrative ballet. It is not simply another addition to the performance calendar. It is a deliberate, long-overdue...

Spring in Vancouver Calls for Puccini: La Bohème Takes the Stage

Springtime in Vancouver is made for evenings like this. Vancouver Opera is closing its 2025–2026 season with five performances of Giacomo Puccini‘s beloved La Bohème at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, and the buzz is entirely justified — it is already the fastest-selling show in Vancouver Opera‘s history, on pace to sell out all five nights....

Where Ballet Lives and Breathes: Vancouver’s Newest Company Takes the Stage

Vancouver has never lacked ambition. What it has lacked, for too long, is a professional ballet company willing to claim the city as its permanent home and build something worthy of it. Ballet Vancouver has arrived to do precisely that. Founded in 2025 and rooted in a mandate to restore and revitalise the city’s access...

Angela Grossmann: Restoring Forgotten Lives and Reclaiming the Female Form Across Four Decades

One does not arrive at Angela Grossmann’s studio by accident. The journey winds through hallways that shift from carpet to hardwood, up a step, down another, around corners that feel almost provisional, until an open door reveals her unmistakable red lipstick and welcoming smile. Dressed in a paint-marked smock and practical shoes, she stands wholly...

East Meets West in Red Lacquer: The Firenze Fazioli Through Georgy Manterola’s Touch

Spring has arrived in Vancouver, and with it came a Fazioli moment we simply could not resist. Shot by Michelle Diamond, the Firenze photoshoot captured pianist Georgy Manterola in full bloom, repping the season in flowing florals and crimson heels that echoed the piano’s radiant finish. The result was equal parts romance, artistry, and unapologetic...
