GRANVILLE ISLAND

Vancouver - British Columbia - CANADA

Unofficial Home of the Arts in Vancouver



Granville Island is the perfect location for the arts and artists to develop, display and market their manifestation. This is due to Granville island being a world apart not just in a philosophical sense but also in the physical context. Away from the big business community, away from tenants, landlords, condos, 24/7 convenience stores, away from from high fashion outlets and big box stores, it has developed its own unique charm and laid back atmosphere. Being in a rush on Granville Island are not compatible. Being in a rush does not nurture the creative arts (not usually anyway, though some individuals need pressure to perform). These images provide some background to why the arts are an important component of Granville Island.
