À propos
Come out to the UBC Arts and Culture District to celebrate BC Culture Days.
We are offering 2 diverse events:
On September 27th come out to the Arts and Culture District at UBC to celebrate Culture Days in British Columbia. The Audain Art Centre AHVA art Gallery will be filled with food, musicians, comedians, spoken word poets, and artists for a spectacular open mic event. Sign up to perform or take it all in as an audience member, and be sure to check out the exhibition, featuring the work of UBC visual art alumni and curated by UBC faculty members.
This event is made to bring together the diverse artists and arts advocates of UBC, and our broader community members. In addition to this, we will be launching our data-base of UBC Artsists and Artist Advocates curated through UBC Arts Culture and UBC's AMS.
We will be offering a tour of the exhibition during the evening. All are welcome to take part in the UBC Arts and Culture District celebration of Culture Days!
