Looking to check out some local art and support up-and-coming artists? We’ve got just the festival to share with you. Every year, the Vancouver Outsider Arts Festival (VOAF) brings together dozens of exhibits, workshops, live performances, and visual art installations for visitors to peruse & take part in.
Selected artists are often individuals/groups whose lives and work face social exclusion in Vancouver – and self-identify as “outsider” artists. So, if you’re looking for an inclusive space to engage in the local art scene, this is a fantastic opportunity to do just that. Check out a ton of art and connect with friends old & new.
Oh, and did we mention admission is completely free??
