Vancouver: BC’s Creative Capital

Vancouver is the cultural heart of British Columbia—a city where art, design, music, performance, and innovation intersect. From internationally acclaimed galleries and museums to grassroots artist collectives, Vancouver’s creative scene is as diverse as the city itself.

Explore the Vancouver Art Gallery, discover murals in Mount Pleasant, or immerse yourself in Indigenous culture at venues like the Bill Reid Gallery. With year-round festivals, art markets, and vibrant neighbourhoods like Granville Island and the Downtown Eastside, Vancouver is a must for any cultural traveler.
