INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2017
DIRECTOR’S FOREWORD
May 25–28, 2017 Opening Night May 25, 6 pm
Vancouver Convention Centre East Exhibition Hall B 999 Canada Place Vancouver, BC
Show Hours Thursday, May 25, 6 – 10 pm
Happy Birthday Canada! Our nation is 150 years young – a milestone worthy of a yearlong celebration. While Canadians mark our country’s sesquicentennial it’s a time to reflect on the past as we look forward to the future. As Art! Vancouver celebrates along with the rest of the country, 2017 marks our third year of bringing an international art fair to Canada’s West Coast. We too are young. And the positive response we’ve received from the community validates our mission – to bring together an international community with art at its core here in the beautiful city of Vancouver. We look forward to the challenge and opportunities this brings and have every reason to anticipate a bright and colourful future. This year we bring some 80 independent artists and galleries exhibiting original works from across the globe. Along with our signature ‘Face of Art’ gala opener we will host a panel discussion, moderated by CBC’s Amanda Parris, on topics germane to the art community. We continue to give back to the community. As part of that mandate we have partnered with Vancouver’s Battered Women’s Support Services. I want to acknowledge and thank our many advertisers and supporters, all the galleries and artists that say yes and the public for its interest and support of visual art. Thank you to the staff and many volunteers who work tirelessly to make this dream a reality. We are indebted, humbled and grateful. Here’s to a bright future and another year of art Under the Sails! Sincerely yours,
Friday, May 26, 12 – 8 pm Saturday, May 27, 12 – 8 pm Sunday, May 28, 12 – 5 pm
