From September 8 to October 2, the Pendulum Gallery will host a free exhibition of the Splash 2027 Art Collection – a stunning preview of artworks that will be auctioned off at Arts Umbrella’s iconic annual Splash Art Auction, which has become the largest charitable art auction in Canada. This is a rare opportunity for the community to experience one-of-a-kind pieces from 92 incredible Canadian and international artists – from Vancouver legends like Ian Wallace and Charlene Vickers to emerging names pushing the boundaries of contemporary art (and without a ticket). It’s free and open to walk-ins, right in the heart of downtown. The space itself is beautiful, and the exhibition offers a rich visual experience for both casual art fans and collectors alike.

Arts Umbrella Programs
In April 2021, Arts Umbrella moved into our new home on Granville Island. This 50,000 net-square-foot building dedicated to arts education for young people ages 2-22 features state-of-the-art studio, exhibition, and performance spaces to inspire future generations.
Approximately 200 arts educators and staff lead our programs in Art, Design, Dance, Theatre, Music, and Film. Every day, we witness wonder in our studios, seeing the difference an arts education can make in the lives of young people. Increased confidence, problem solving, self-awareness, compassion, communication, and teambuilding— the benefits are wide-reaching and long-lasting.
Our pre-professional programs attract students from across Canada and around the world. Graduates present their work internationally, leading the way in their industries and promoting Vancouver’s reputation as a centre for the arts. More importantly, students have gone on to become creative and compassionate citizens in whichever paths they choose.
Access to an arts education is a cornerstone of our vision and mission. Today Arts Umbrella reaches more than 20,000 young people across Metro Vancouver annually, with nearly 75% served through bursaries, scholarships, and donor-funded programs. Within the next 3-5 years, our new Granville Island facility will reach approximately 15,000 children and youth each year through tuition-based programs, as well as community programs and performances, distance learning, bursaries, and scholarships.
