Heads up, art lovers! The largest contemporary art fair in Western Canada is back in Vancouver this April, bringing the work of nearly 60 artists from across the country together for an unforgettable celebration of contemporary art.

Every year, the art fair hosts new artists and galleries from around the globe, celebrating voices from a diverse cultural breadth. Taking centre stage are Canadian and Indigenous artists, who will have the chance to exhibit their work on a global platform and sell it to an audience of collectors and galleries.

On Saturday and Sunday, the full lineup begins. From art classes and live painting sessions to art talks, there’s something for everyone on the roster.
