Western Canada's Largest Art Show Sets Stage for BC Artists

VANCOUVER, BC, February 21, 2018 - Art! Vancouver returns to the Vancouver Convention Centre this year for the fourth time, April 19 – 22, 2018.


As an international, contemporary art fair, artists and galleries come from across Canada and around the world to exhibit their work. Last year, the event brought in over 90 exhibitors and more than 7,000 attendees. The show also features live artist demonstrations and workshops, keynote speakers and panel discussions, dance and Modern Voice Performances. Inspired by other international art fairs such as Art Basel, Art! Vancouver is a premier fine art event that aims to continue the growth of the arts community in Vancouver, while turning the city into a global arts destination. As the preeminent art show of Western Canada, Art! Vancouver presents a great opportunity for local artists to display their work and potentially connect with collectors and other creative professionals. This year, Canadian artist Irina Gretchanaia is returning to exhibit her work at the event for the third time. “I have met amazing clients and last year was almost sold out! It gets busier as the show grows and I am looking forward to what this year might bring,” she said. Artists or galleries who are interested in exhibiting at the fair can still sign up at www.artvancouver.net/regristration.
