Art Vancouver: Where Art Meets World

Founded by the Vancouver Visual Art Foundation (VVAF), a non-profit organization, Art Vancouver welcomes over 100 global artists and galleries, captivating 8,000+ attendees. The inaugural, foundational event in 2015 marked the birth of Art Vancouver and laid the groundwork for its transformative initiatives.

Over the years, Art Vancouver has evolved into a space where the contemporary art fair unites nations through art. With the show attracting a carefully curated selection of galleries and artists from across Canada and beyond, the event has become a platform for networking and collaboration within the global art community.

In addition, Opus Art Supplies will have a booth at Art Vancouver! We'll be exhibiting our framing and print services, so stop by to say hi if you're interested in learning more about custom services from our knowledgeable Opus Staff.
