About
Art Downtown is a 3-month outdoor summer initiative to connect, inspire, and educate communities.
Artists exhibit their art and paint live in an outdoor space, with live music, in partnership with the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association and Hudson Pacific Properties.

VVAF recognizes the myriad of challenges faced by the Indigenous, LGBTQ, and other underserved, marginalized communities. Through our commitment to supporting these communities, all the Foundation's initiatives include
